Hi, We wish to go away for possibly up to 6 weeks or so. We have two indoor cats to be cared for and litter tray cleaned daily. And they like to sit on your lap in the evening.

Two bird aviaries to have clean water and food daily.

Our home is on 40 acres in beautiful Benalla situated on the Hume Hwy North East Victoria, 5 minutes out of town, 2 hours straight down the Hume to Melbourne, near the snowfields, winery’s and famous Beechworth Bakery.

Modern warm home with beautiful wildlife often seen. ( Hence cats not allowed outside) Not 100% sure how many weeks away. Leaving after 18-20th July. I also have 4 horses but they will be fed and cared for every day by a girlfriend. A small indoor dog is a possibility so we could discuss.

Suburb Insights

Benalla’s gentle rhythm offers a quiet counterpoint to city bustle, ideal for house sitting and minding pets. Your days here will often revolve around the serene expanse of Lake Benalla. Morning dog walks naturally lead along the wide paths encircling the water, past the renowned Art Gallery and through the verdant Botanical Gardens. This leisurely circuit provides ample fresh air for your charges and a peaceful start to your own day, observing the local birdlife or the early rowers. The town’s culinary scene is a modest delight, with emphasis on local ingredients. For a relaxed lunch, consider a visit to Rustik Cafe & Foodstore on Bridge Street. Their seasonal menu and inviting atmosphere provide a comforting break after errands. Weekends might involve a trip to the local markets if they align with your stay, offering regional produce perfect for home cooking, enhancing the sense of settling into a temporary home. Evenings can be spent enjoying the quiet comfort of your host’s residence, perhaps with a book, or a short stroll along the Broken River. Benalla’s charm lies in its unhurried pace and the genuine warmth of its small-town interactions. Caring for pets here becomes an extension of this calm, allowing both you and your temporary companions to unwind into the rhythm of country living, far from hurried schedules.
