I am going overseas for 4 weeks and need someone to feed my cat Calvin twice a day, let him out and get him back in overnight as well as provide him with a little company. Watering the plants occasionally would be a bonus!

We are situated on the Central Coast of NSW in Budgewoi. My place is close to the shops and the Halekulani Bowling Club (only 600m walk), close to the Tuggerah Lake and only a 2km walk to the beach. It is also walking distance to the Budgewoi Pub and restaurants. It is a quiet location, with friendly neighbours, and a lovely morning sun fills the main living area. It has 2 bedrooms and an office, 1 bathroom and 2 toilets and was recently redecorated. It is a duplex located at the back which offers great privacy and the (court)yard is cosy and low maintenance with no lawns to mow. There is ducted air con and a barbeque. My friends describe my little house as welcoming and relaxing!

Both Sydney and the Hunter Valley are a couple of hours drive away, Newcastle is only 50km away, The Entrance 15km. Budgewoi is only minutes away from the iconic Norah Head's Soldiers Beach (famous for its surf) and the Norah Head lighthouse and is an ideal location if you like surfing, fishing and/or bushwalking.

Calvin is an easy going 5 year old rescue cat who likes his independence as well as human company. He can be a little tricky to read and understand at times so he probably isn't recommended to beginners. He prefers to be king of his castle and will not share his territory with other pets. He had a bit of a rough life before we met, and his teeth were in poor condition so require a little dental powder to be mixed into his meals but other than that he is really easy to care for, and can get really really cuddly at times!

I think my place is better suited to a single or a couple rather than a family due to space, and Calvin has never interacted with young children in our time together so I am not sure how he would react.

If you are interested in meeting Calvin and having a great time on the Central Coast, don't hesitate to get in touch!

About the Area

BUDGEWOI Sydney, New South Wales
Suburb Insights
Budgewoi offers a distinct, unhurried rhythm, shaped by its twin water bodies: the serene Budgewoi Lake and the expansive Pacific Ocean. Morning routines here often begin with a walk along the lake foreshore, where the paved path extending from Lions Park provides a calm route for you and your furry charge. You'll observe locals casting lines or simply enjoying the quiet, offering a friendly nod. This gentle pace makes settling into a home and maintaining a pet's schedule feel natural, far removed from any urban rush. The small cluster of shops along Budgewoi Road forms the heart of daily life. A stop at one of the local cafes for a morning coffee often includes a brief chat with a familiar face, reflecting the close-knit community. Supplies for the home and pets are readily available, making errands efficient and adding to the sense of local connection. Evenings might invite a sunset stroll by the lake or a walk along Lakes Beach, listening to the waves, offering a different kind of sensory experience for a well-behaved dog. Living in Budgewoi means appreciating the sound of the wind off the water and the calls of local birdlife. The neighbourhood feels safe and connected, with children playing in parks and neighbours tending their gardens. Such an environment naturally extends a calm, reassuring atmosphere within the home, making it easy to establish a consistent, low-stress routine for the animals entrusted to your care. It’s a place where the simple rhythms of life provide comfort and ease.
