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

Suburb Insights
Your mornings in Cardup unfold with a gentle quiet, not the distant hum of traffic but perhaps the rustle of gum leaves or an early kookaburra. Leash up your canine companions for a stroll down the tranquil residential roads, often shaded by mature trees. These quiet lanes offer ample space for a relaxed pace, allowing dogs to sniff and explore without the rush of busy streets. For longer excursions, you might discover one of the local bridle paths or bush trails that wind through the natural reserves bordering the properties; the air here is always fresh. Daily provisions or a decent coffee require a short, scenic drive into Byford or Mundijong, where a small selection of cafes and shops cater to local needs. Cardup itself prioritizes spacious blocks and open air, providing a serene backdrop for pet care and home duties. The rhythm here is unhurried; a natural contrast to urban bustle. Many properties enjoy expansive backyards, offering dogs plenty of secure space to roam and play when not on walks. Evenings bring a profound stillness, marked by the chorus of native birds settling down. This quiet is perfect for unwinding after a day tending to furry friends. Your time here will be defined by the distinct quietude, the clear night sky, and the comforting predictability of rural life, far from the city's rush but deeply connected to nature's embrace, allowing both you and your charges to settle into a peaceful routine.
