Assignment Requirements

We’re looking for a caring and reliable house sitter to enjoy a peaceful stay on the stunning North Shore of Port Macquarie while looking after our much-loved little companion, Coco.

Coco is a gorgeous 2-year-old Havanese Maltese with a gentle, affectionate nature. She is very well house-trained, sleeps happily in her crate at night, and is easy to care for. She enjoys a daily walk of around 45 minutes and plenty of cuddles—otherwise she’s content relaxing by your side.

You’ll be staying in a comfortable, spacious three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home set right on the river. The highlight is the patio, where you can unwind and take in spectacular water views—perfect for morning coffee or sunset drinks.

Located on the peaceful North Shore, you’re just a scenic 4-minute ferry ride across the Hastings River to the vibrant town centre of Port Macquarie.

Port Macquarie is one of the Mid North Coast’s most loved destinations, known for its relaxed coastal lifestyle, beautiful beaches, and friendly community. From coastal walks and cafés to boutique shopping and local markets, there’s plenty to enjoy. The ferry adds a unique charm to daily outings, making every trip into town feel like a mini adventure.
