Assignment Requirements

Hi,

We wish to welcome you into our home and the hearts of our pets. Our home is in a quiet bushy suburb with plenty of natural attractions but with easy access to local shopping and buses into the city.

Low maintenance home. 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, space for either 2 cars or 1 car

and 1 caravan or motorhome-it was designed for this as we often have travelling relatives stay.

Garden care minimal (only watering of some plants dependent on rain at the time).

Main priority is looking after our two dogs, Skye a Cocker Spaniel and Chase, a Swedish Vallhund. They will both be 5 years old at the time of the housesit. They love people (although Chase is anxious about children) and are very loving easy going dogs. Chase requires daily medication, but this is easily taken as a treat. Skye needs regular eye ointment (again she accepts this easily). We also have 3 pet rats whom are litter trained and very clean and have great temperaments (you would just need to feed them twice a day). Over the 5 days, no cleaning would be required with the rats.

If you wish to head out for the day, our dogs are happy home alone.

If you need to leave the morning of Xmas day, that is fine.

We look forward to having you.

About the Area

HORNSBY HEIGHTS Sydney, New South Wales
Suburb Insights
Hornsby Heights presents a tranquil, elevated setting for house sitters, providing a distinct suburban rhythm. Daily pet care often involves exploring numerous bushland trails that weave through the area, offering shaded walks ideal for dogs, often accessible directly from residential streets. A small, local convenience store and pharmacy cater to immediate needs, making quick errands straightforward without leaving the suburb. For larger shopping or amenities, the Hornsby CBD is your primary destination. Regular bus services connect the Heights directly to Hornsby Station and Westfield, a journey taking around 10-15 minutes. This link ensures practical access to major supermarkets, various retail options, and vet clinics, simplifying grocery runs or any unexpected pet-related needs. Understanding the bus schedule will be beneficial for efficient planning. Living here means embracing a quieter pace. Evenings are typically serene, with bush sounds replacing city noise, creating a calm environment for both you and any pets under your care. Utilising the extensive local walking paths provides excellent exercise for animals and a chance for you to appreciate the area's natural surroundings, making the day-to-day responsibilities feel integrated with the locale.
