Assignment Requirements

Hey house sitters,

We have a newly renovated 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house in Hamlyn Heights, Geelong Victoria. The house has a big driveway with ample parking. It is on a bus route with the nearest bus stop 150m away.

All modern appliances, e.g. dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, heating, cooling and wifi.

We will pay for a weekly cleaner to come and clean the house.

We have a large dog, Koda who will need pet sitting. She's a very well behaved inside dog, but doesn't love being alone or being left in the back yard. Over the last two years I have been working from home and on maternity leave and she has gotten very use to someone being home during the day.

Ideally we want someone who will spend most of the day with her, you would still be able to spend time away from her just not the entire day. She is a gentle giant, and will be so happy to spend time with you. She walks well on a lead and has good recall, so loves to be let loose for a run around the beach or by river. If you would prefer not to take her in your car you're welcome to borrow ours for day trips.

Please get in touch if you're interested or have any questions, we are easy going, super flexible people and would love to have you stay.

About the Area

HAMLYN HEIGHTS Barwon, Victoria
Suburb Insights
Settling into Hamlyn Heights means embracing a gentle rhythm. Mornings often begin with a quiet walk along the tree-lined streets near your temporary home, allowing the resident dog to sniff out the local news at their pace. This suburb encourages a slower start, making it easy to establish a consistent routine that keeps pets content and ensures a calm household. For more expansive walks, Ted Wilson Reserve offers wide-open space and a large lake, a peaceful spot for longer dog exercise without feeling crowded. After, a quick stop at the local shops on Vines Road for essentials or a takeaway coffee can round out the morning before returning to a calm home environment. These local hubs are practical rather than bustling, fitting the relaxed Hamlyn Heights mood. Afternoons might involve quiet time indoors, perhaps with a cat napping in a sunbeam or a dog resting after its adventures. The area's residential nature ensures minimal disruption, making it an ideal setting for pets needing a consistent, calm presence. Access to the Geelong Ring Road is close by if wider errands call, but the charm here lies in staying local and unhurried. Evenings often involve easy home-cooked meals, with pets settled nearby, reflecting the unhurried lifestyle Hamlyn Heights offers. The quiet streets provide security for indoor pets and a sense of peace for the person minding them. This focus on home and routine creates a secure, comfortable base for everyone during your stay.
