Assignment Requirements

We are looking for a reliable person(s) to house sit and take care of our 2.5 year old kelpie for 3 weeks and possibly extending to 4 weeks depending on travel requirements. Lawns are taken care of by others and routine picking up dog droppings is required to keep the dogs play area clean. Leaving the house in a neat and clean state and the plants alive after your stay is required. This house sit definitely suits an active person who enjoys the outdoors. Our dog has had extensive training and is very active as you would expect. We live close (20 minutes walk, 5 minutes drive) to beautiful walking tracks and he swims in the creek near the tracks. Playing frisbee in the creek and catching his plastic bottles are his favourite activities.

Our dog is well known and loved to local community so you will have plenty of opportunity to chat and meet new people if you wish to do so.

In the morning, roughly an hour after sunup we take him for a small 5 minute walk to greet the morning. We can go back to bed if we need more sleep and he waits till we get up within reason. We have a few games that he enjoys that keep him happy. If he has been worked he his a cuddly boy but if you ignore him after his breakfast feed he will annoy the daylights out of you. He normally rests from lunch till late afternoon and we do tether him if he struggles to settle. One of the joys of our house is the views to the mountains and watching and listening to the sights and sounds of the bush. We overlook a wooded gulley and have extensive mountain views that can be enjoyed from a covered verandah with outdoor dining facilities. Thankyou for considering this stay opportunity.

About the Area

CORDEAUX HEIGHTS Illawarra, New South Wales
Suburb Insights
Mornings in Cordeaux Heights unfold with a gentle pace. Take the resident dog for its first outing along the quiet, undulating streets, where the air often carries the scent of eucalyptus. Several small neighbourhood reserves, like the one off Derribong Drive, offer grassy patches for a retrieve, ensuring pets get their exercise without straying far. This initial circuit establishes a comfortable routine, allowing you to settle into the home's rhythm. For provisions, a short drive to Figtree Grove accommodates most needs, from groceries to a morning coffee. Unlike city-centre suburbs, Cordeaux Heights maintains a residential quiet, meaning you'll spend more time enjoying the home and its immediate surrounds than navigating bustling streets. While local walks are excellent for pets and exercise, accessing a wider range of shops or cafes typically involves a car trip. This tranquil setting means fewer distractions, fostering a focused environment for pet care and maintaining the household. The suburb's elevated position often affords glimpses of the escarpment or even the distant ocean, providing a serene backdrop to afternoon strolls. Evenings here are distinctly suburban; the streetlights cast long shadows and the most common sounds are cicadas rather than traffic. Such a setting allows for an unhurried approach to pet feeding schedules and evening routines, reflecting the calm character of this part of Wollongong.
