Assignment Requirements

We need a stable retired couple to replace us for approximately seven weeks. We are retired mum and dad parents for two currently six-month old Russian Blue adolescent kittens. We will provide all food and cat litter and pay for any arising veterinary expenses. We would prefer you to have a car and bring no other pets to the property. There is plenty of street parking around our home. We live in Vaucluse in a spacious and comfortable Art Deco penthouse whole-floor apartment in a boutique block of three. Our top floor apartment has good harbour views. There are eight steps down to the property; there are then 15 steps up to our own external front door. The apartment would be yours to live in rent free during our absence in Europe and South America for approximately seven weeks in return for caring for and loving our kittens. We would like to discuss with you how best you may suit our needs. We are ten minutes to the Watsons Bay harbour pool and Ferry Wharf which is 20 minutes by ferry to Circular Quay and the CBD. There are regular bus services to the city at each end of our street. There are many coastal walks and harbour beaches close by to us. We are also close to Bondi Beach.

Applications are still open. Our preference is for a retired couple but we will consider all applicants but no large groups or parties.

We will invite our two final choices from our short list to visit us at home and meet the kitties first. There are 3 bedrooms but the kitties own one of them.

About the Area

VAUCLUSE Sydney, New South Wales
Suburb Insights
Vaucluse unfolds with a distinct rhythm, a calming counterpoint to the city's pulse. Mornings often begin with the distant cry of gulls and the gentle hum of early walkers along the clifftops. The Diamond Bay Reserve path, ideal for a leashed morning stroll with your charge, offers sweeping ocean vistas as the sun ascends. Afterwards, a quick stop at one of the village's quiet cafés for a proper flat white and a newspaper sets a relaxed tone for the day. For daily provisions, the local providores offer quality fresh produce, a more considered shopping experience than larger supermarkets. Pack a lunch for a picnic at Parsley Bay; its sheltered waters invite a swim, or simply offer a shaded spot for your charge to rest. The iconic Vaucluse House grounds also provide expansive, tranquil walking opportunities, though always check specific pet restrictions for their formal gardens. Evenings here settle into a quiet contemplation, ideal for reading or observing the lights dance on the harbour from a high vantage point. A short bus journey connects you to Watson's Bay for a classic fish and chips by the water, a simple pleasure defining the area’s understated charm. This isn’t a place of bustling nightlife, but rather one where the beauty of the harbour and the rhythm of the tides dictate the pace, offering a serene backdrop for attentive pet care and comfortable living.
