Assignment Requirements

Coolamon is a peaceful little town in the heart of the Riverina. It's about 30 mins from Wagga Wagga, which has all the main shops/services. Coolamon is perfect if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle at Christmas time! There is a main street with cafes, gift shops, service station, grocery/liquor store, take away, chinese resturant and pub with bistro, etc.

We have a 1/4 acre block within the main township of Coolamon and a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom house with granny flat. We share our family home with an energetic 5 year old border collie x (Minnie), a black rabbit (Ginny), 5 chickens, a few goldfish and 2 adult bearded dragons.

All the animals need a scoop of pellets/biscuits once a day, and fruit and veggies (which I prep before hand). The bearded dragons get veggies each day and mealworms/crickets a few times a week and their tank lights are on automatic timers. All our animals are over loved by our young kids and as a result they are tollerant and don't bite. :)

Our house would suit a couple or a family as we have a queen bed, 2 singles and a cot set up. We also have a granny flat out the back with a queen bed and spare single matress and double matress. Both dwellings have refrigerated air con.

We need house sitters from Christmas Eve through to 9th January. The gardens all have automatic irrigation systems so tasks only include feeding/watering the animals.

Please message me for more details or if you have any questions.

Suburb Insights
Coolamon mornings begin with a gentle quiet, often marked by the distant call of magpies rather than traffic noise. After settling the household pets, a leisurely stroll along the tree-lined residential streets offers a peaceful start. Many homes here enjoy spacious yards, which extend the quietude, making early walks with a dog feel unhurried. The air is often crisp, particularly between autumn and spring. A short walk brings you to Cowabbie Street, the town's unassuming main thoroughfare. Here, you might grab a morning coffee from the Up-To-Date Store while the resident cat perhaps surveys the street from a sunny window. For pet supplies or general errands, local businesses are easily reached on foot, a stark contrast to more sprawling regional centres. The pace remains consistently calm throughout the day, allowing ample time for pets to relax between outings. Later in the day, the RSL Memorial Park provides open green space for a longer stretch of the legs, often with other locals enjoying the fresh air. Alternatively, consider a wander along the town's quieter edges, where the scent of eucalyptus and distant paddocks becomes more noticeable. Evenings settle in with a similar tranquility, perhaps a final short walk under a star-filled sky. The natural rhythm here aligns effortlessly with caring for a home and its companions.
