Assignment Requirements

We are looking for someone to take care of our friendly cat and water the garden in Townsville, Queensland. Our cat sleeps inside and moves inside and outside freely during the day. We really just need some company for him and to have the door opened in the morning and shut before it gets dark. He has an automated feeder so there is no need to weigh out food, it just needs topping up every now and then. He likes to be given fresh water each day. He has a wee mat rather than kitty litter, which he uses at night sometimes, so that can go in the washing machine. The pot plants need a water twice per week and the garden beds like a water once a week if it doesn't rain. We have a comfortable, low maintenance home with big deck and spa, air conditioning in the bedroom. We are very close to the lovely Ross River and have standup paddleboards for borrowing. No parties. Housesitters would be welcome to come for longer than the time we are away, we have 4 bedrooms so you can stay while we are here depending on your other travel arrangements.

About the Area

Aitkenvale Northern, Queensland
Suburb Insights
Settling into Aitkenvale means immediate access to daily essentials. Stockland Townsville anchors the suburb, placing supermarkets, chemists, and specialty stores within a short drive or a pleasant walk from most residences. This central hub simplifies errands, freeing your time to establish routines, especially those involving your temporary canine companions. Daily routines for furry residents often revolve around the Ross River Parkway. Miles of paved pathways parallel the river, ideal for morning or late afternoon dog walks, offering ample space for exercise. The tropical climate dictates cooler times for outdoor activity, a rhythm you will quickly adopt while observing the local wildlife or enjoying a quiet stroll yourself. Navigating Aitkenvale is straightforward. Most local amenities are accessible by foot or a short drive, though a personal vehicle expands exploration options beyond the immediate suburb. Local bus routes do connect Aitkenvale to key areas of Townsville, providing an alternative for trips further afield, perhaps to The Strand or Castle Hill trails, once pet responsibilities are fulfilled.
