Assignment Requirements

The main thing that we're concerned about is the health and well-being of our two old doggies. Ivy (girl), Parson's Russell is 15 and Sonic (boy) is 14. They are inside dogs and we've had them since they were pups.

The house is on a large block, 5.5 acres, it's zoned fully rural. One side of the road is Byford, our side of the road is Cardup. We have 3 sheep in the paddock that take care of themselves, they'll just need their water trough topped up and we have a cockateil bird which is easy to care for. The house is not connected to scheme water so the sitter will be able to enjoy beautiful fresh rain water. The gardens are watered from an excellent bore. It's a fantastic home in a fantastic area where all the big shops are a 2 minute drive away: Coles & Woolies and all the fatty fast joints etc. The home is a 4 x 2 with a massive shed, spa, pool, billiards table, bar, wifi, foxtel, etc. etc.

We are driving into the Gibson desert to work with some indigenous communities and then we're off into the Northern Territory and then coming back into WA via the Great Central Road. We normally get my dad to look after the place but he can't do it this year.

My neighbour and friend will mow the lawns and I have another friend he stores some equipment in the paddock, he may visit while we're away, he has a key for the front gate as does my neighbour.

Thank you, John & Agi

About the Area

Cardup Perth, Western Australia
Suburb Insights
Life in Cardup follows the quiet, steady pulse of the Wheatbelt fringe. Your mornings often begin with the stillness of the surrounding bushland, making it an ideal setting for long, meditative walks with a resident dog. While the area lacks a central high street, the expansive open spaces allow for uninterrupted exercise routines and peaceful strolls along dusty tracks that fringe the residential pockets. You will find that the lack of urban noise provides a grounding backdrop for settling into a house sitter's routine, offering ample space for pets to roam safely within the property boundaries. Driving a short distance connects you to the more structured amenities of nearby Baldivis or Mandurah, but the local rhythm remains intentionally slow. Daily tasks like grocery runs or grabbing a coffee require a car, yet this isolation rewards you with unmatched privacy and starlit nights. Managing a home here feels less like navigating a city and more like tending to a private sanctuary amidst the landscape.
