House sit Valla Beach

05-Jul-2026 – 15-Jul-2026

| 11 Days stay

Responsiveness

This is Mana, 5 yr old Staffy X who is a breeze to take care of. He loves the beach, other dogs and kid friendly. He is my best mate, I take him everywhere I can, because he just loves being involved. I spoil him, he is allowed on the couches and bed, haha, eats twice a day and is super adaptable, loves a good roadie, camp out, explore and socialise.

He is a bit of a scab, but I like treating him for being a good dog.

The view from the closest beach, only a few 100 meters from the front door.

He's great with most other dogs, I do avoid other dogs larger than him, and keep Mana on a lead if near any large or aggressive dogs. Luckily, we know most of the dogs in our local area, it's a small town with friendly locals.

Charming beach house vibes, the only cleaning required is a vacuum and whatever dishes are used.

Assignment Requirements

I have an easy-going staffy X called Mana, he's a loving, friendly dog nearly 7yrs old. We live in a simple beach house with 2 rooms, one used as a massage clinic. There is a deep bath and sauna for use also. Close to beach, shops, bush walks and Nambucca is only 10 mins away, Coffs Harbour 30mins. Mana is an inside dog, loves the beach, walks anywhere, very social, and cuddly. He doesn't make much noise unless someone new visits, then it's only a warning bark. I've taken him to cities and farms and he loves it all, a classic staffy, who just wants to be involved and loved. He can be alone in the house for a few hours, but I don't like leaving him for more than 4 hours at a time. He's a pleasure to own, and others have said a gem to babysit too! I am only away for 10 days this time, but will be looking for house sitters ongoing, as I like to travel overseas, but haven't been able to because of covid and owning a dog. Looking forward to meeting some doggo lovers that are looking for a beachside break, in a cute little house that's easy to manage.

Suburb Insights

Mornings in Valla Beach invite a slow start. After attending to your temporary animal companions, step out for a long walk on the main beach. The sand stretches wide, perfect for an early stroll as the sun rises, with many local dogs enjoying the cool air. The quiet creek mouth offers a calmer spot for a paddle or just to watch the seabirds before you return for breakfast, embracing the unhurried local rhythm. A coffee from the Beach House Café provides a moment to plan the day. For the pets, the paths behind the dunes offer shaded exercise away from direct sun. Later, bush tracks veering towards Bongil Bongil National Park present excellent opportunities for longer, scent-rich walks, but always check for ticks if heading into denser areas. Nearby Urunga is a convenient stop for groceries or a change of scenery. Weekends encourage broader exploration. Bellingen, a short drive inland, holds a popular market on the third Saturday monthly – a good outing if your charges can be left comfortably for a few hours. Evenings here are distinctly peaceful. After the final pet check, the ocean’s gentle murmur provides a natural soundtrack for quiet reflection, making it simple to settle into the home's relaxed pace.
