Assignment Requirements

My husband Gary and I are taking a special holiday with my brother and sister-in-law to celebrate my brother's birthday. We need someone special to look after our giant sooky Great Dane and our mischievous cat. Butters the cat is really easy going and loves to play. Dexter the Dane was rescued 18 months ago after being starved and mistreated so he does love attention and a walk every day and can get anxious if left alone all day. So we really need a sitter who can be at home most of the time. We live on 10 acres with spectacular rural and mountain views. Our huge rear deck is perfect for relaxing and watching the local bird and wildlife and there are lots of options for walking. Cooroy and Pomona are wonderful local towns, each only 5 minutes away with great cafes and quirky shops. We love where we live and would be happy for someone else to enjoy our home and our beloved pets while we are away.

Our Home & Location

We are 5 minutes from our local towns of Cooroy and Pomona. It’s a 15-minute drive to the Marina at Tewantin and 20 minutes in to Noosa. The rolling hills of the Mary Valley are located about 15 minutes to the north.

Responsibilities & Pets

Our main focus is having our pets looked after - feeding, walking, playing and cuddling and providing company for both our cat and dog. Dexter the Great Dane is 6 and a half, Butters is 7 years old. We would also want indoor plants, outdoor plants and some of our garden watered regularly. A range of native birds come to be fed each day, so I would appreciate them being fed as usual.

About the Area

Black Mountain Sunshine Coast, Queensland
Suburb Insights
Life in Black Mountain, nestled in the Noosa hinterland, unfolds at a noticeably gentler pace. Here, the day begins with birdsong, not traffic, encouraging a mindful rhythm for both you and any pets under your care. The air often carries the scent of eucalyptus, and the distant calls of kookaburras become part of the everyday soundscape. Morning walks with the resident dog will likely involve quiet country roads or local fire trails, offering plenty of natural scents for them to explore and expansive views for you. Grocery runs or a visit to a local coffee spot mean a short drive down to Cooroy or Pomona, where small, independent businesses serve the surrounding rural communities. These towns offer a chance to connect with local produce sellers at weekly markets, perfect for stocking the pantry with regional flavours. Neighbours here tend to be spread out, yet a strong sense of informal community prevails; a friendly wave is common. Evenings are typically calm, punctuated by the soft chirping of crickets. This allows for peaceful evenings on the veranda, perhaps reading, or simply watching the stars emerge, providing a quiet, restorative environment ideal for ensuring a pet's comfort and your own settling-in period.
