Assignment Requirements

We are looking for a couple to pet/house sit for us, in May for 12 to 14 days. We live on Russell Island Qld. off of Redland Bay with our 2 dogs Preston and Archie, in our beautiful 100 year old renovated Queenslander with water views.

The couple that are suitable will be fit and strong, as we have steps and also our younger dog Archie is a big dog. Have a love of nature, quiet peacefulness and of course dogs. We have a big yard and like it to be kept tidy and well maintained eg dog droppings, watering and mowing when needed. We pride our home so the inside also needs to be maintained eg vacuming, and cleaning up after yourself. In exchange for this you and your partner have the opportunity to live on an island and experience serenity in a beautiful home with our two furbabies.

Our island has an IGA, doctor, chemist, cafes, RSL, Bowls Club and taxis. The ferries run regularly and is only 20 minutes to mainland.

So if you think you this sounds like you, or have any questions, please contact me.

About the Area

Russell Island Brisbane, Queensland
Suburb Insights
Life on Russell Island moves to the steady rhythm of the tide and the ferry schedule. Your mornings likely begin with quiet walks along the shoreline or through the shaded trails near the island's bushland pockets, ensuring pets get their exercise before the midday heat sets in. The pace here encourages a slower approach to pet care, where long afternoons are spent lounging in the shade of a garden while watching the water. Local routines revolve around the small café strips and occasional markets that anchor the community. Fetching a coffee or grabbing supplies involves a brief drive or a stroll through quiet residential streets where neighbors often wave from their porches. When your charges need a change of scenery, the nearby beaches offer soft sand for exploring. Connectivity remains simple through the regular ferry links to Cleveland, but most sitters find that the true appeal lies in the stillness of a private home base, away from mainland noise.
