Django is a big happy boy with a very big personality. Django is 6.5 years old. and is a house dog who loves people attention as we mostly work from home. He loves to play, is super smart (knows all his toys by name), loves a cuddle, and will follow you around the house. He is pretty chilled most of the time as long as he gets daily walks and play time. An absolute must is that he gets at least one decent walk a day as this is the routine he's had his whole life, mornings are ideal, especially given the heat of summer. We need someone who is very comfortable and confident walking big dogs - so someone who is fit, active and loves getting out walking on a routine daily basis. He walks very well on his Halti, but can be a bit of a grump/reactive with other dogs so please only reach out if you are an experienced and confident large dog walker.

Our home is a lovely, bright, spotlessly clean and tidy 4 bed, 2 bath home on a very quiet street within walking distance of Cotton Tree and Maroochydore beach. There's space for off-road parking and a caravan if required. We have wifi available, a big well equipped kitchen, lovely peaceful patio area, two lounge rooms (one with a very big tv with Netflix and Prime - perfect for movie watching), ceiling fans and large windows with lots of air flow, air con in the main area of the house, and a lovely peaceful landscaped garden. We have indoor pot plants that will need a little bit of watering, and the lawns may need mowing (just once) given it's summer time. But our main priority is knowing our boy is well cared for and our home is kept as clean and tidy as the day you move in.

What we love about our area - Literally everything is within walking distance....Cotton Tree, Maroochydore beach, Aldi, IGA, Bunnings, Sunshine Plaza, cafes, restaurants, and the new CBD. Our street is described as a hidden gem as it is tucked away, peaceful, but on the doorstep of everything! We have bicycles you can use too, and there's space for off-road parking and a caravan.

Please only apply for this housesit if you have:

- references/previous reviews on here that validate your experience as a sitter;

- experience caring for, and very confident in walking big dogs;

- a genuine interest and passion for dogs and dog walking, and can commit to sticking with his routine;

- no children (we are not open to considering families); and

- definitely no pets.

We will arrange a video call in the first instance; or if you are in a proximity to the Sunshine Coast, you could pop round for a chat.

We are keen to get someone reliable and trustworthy locked in (who won't let us down) for peace of mind as we have our flights booked.

Thanks so much in advance, we look forward to hearing from you.

Jen, Phil and Django

Suburb Insights

Life in Maroochydore follows the gentle pull of the tides and the coastal breeze. Mornings often begin with a slow walk along the Maroochydore Esplanade, where the salt air provides a quiet backdrop for checking on the resident dog or cat before the humidity climbs. Most daily errands unfold on foot, moving easily between the riverside walkways and the local café strips tucked near the river mouth. This predictable rhythm makes it simple to balance pet care with personal downtime, as a stroll to grab a coffee often doubles as a necessary bathroom break for a walking companion. The afternoons lend themselves to exploring the Buderim to Maroochydore National Park coastal walking trails, offering shade and natural seclusion. When the pace slows, the proximity to local markets and the easy transport links through the CBD allow for effortless transitions between a quiet home base and the wider Sunshine Coast. Settling into a local residence here means embracing a lifestyle dictated by the sun and the sea, where your daily routine aligns naturally with the coastal landscape.
