Assignment Requirements

We are looking for a responsible single or a couple to look after one much loved cat and keep our little beach house and gardens in good condition. We may have some flexibility with dates.

We have a 70s simple but very cute "beach house" on a big block in a quiet area of Falcon Bay, less than one hour's easy drive or train from Perth.

If you're looking for a long break and truly lovely winter getaway this might be your spot. You will enjoy the fireplace and the sunny north facing deck and living room. The beach is at the end of our short street and you can often hear the ocean at night. 600m the other way is Falcon Bay with it's well known cafe. More cafes and shops are all easily walkable. If you're into boating, crabbing etc, (bring your own) the huge Estuary is about 5 mins drive away too, fantastic also for walking/cycling. You're a few minutes drive from other major shops and 20 mins from Mandurah City which has an enormous new mall and everything you could want in the vicinity.

The house has fast wifi internet and a Samsung Frame TV with all the tech. There's no dishwasher tho, it's the old fashioned wash n wipe here.

Because this is such a long stay, we would ask that sitters pay the electricity bill for the duration. Our bill is around $200-$300 every two months. There will be some mowing to do and a bit of weeding/trimming but there's no fancy garden beds to care for.

References and a police clearance are required please.

About the Area

FALCON South West, Western Australia
Suburb Insights
Mornings in Falcon begin with distant waves and coastal birds, setting an unhurried rhythm. For a house sitter, this naturally prompts early pet walks. Many dogs settle into routine coastal strolls along Falcon Bay or Avalon Beach, where sand is cool and the sea breeze invigorating. Be mindful of leash requirements and designated times; local regulations ensure peaceful outings. This early start allows thorough pet exercise, integrating smoothly with the home's established schedule. The mid-morning pace shifts to a quiet hum. After your coastal walk and pet feeding, a short stroll might lead to a local spot like Falcon Bay Cafe for coffee, observing activity rather than rushing. The area is largely flat, making excursions easy, whether for supplies or simply enjoying the salt air. Pets often appreciate this calmer part of the day, settling into naps while you attend to household duties. The primary focus here remains the natural environment, not bustling commercial areas. Afternoons often involve another walk, perhaps a quieter loop through local streets or along the estuary, depending on pet preferences. Easy access to water, ocean or canals, means many routes offer varied views. This relaxed daily flow easily accommodates a house sitter's responsibilities, from ensuring pets are fed and exercised on schedule to managing home upkeep. Integrating into Falcon means embracing its gentle, coastal ebb and flow, where the outdoor environment shapes much of the day's practical rhythm.
