Beachside Queenslander Charm – Free 3-Week House & Pet Sit

**Dates:** 8th June – 29th June (3 weeks)

Hi there! We are looking for a reliable, caring house and pet sitter to look after our home, an old-style two-story Queenslander, and our beautiful dog while we are away for three weeks. If you love the coastal breeze and a relaxed lifestyle, this is the perfect spot for you!

**The Location & Home**

We are located a tiny 270-metre stroll from the waterfront—perfect for morning or sunset beach walks.

You are just 650 metres from a fantastic local cafe for your morning coffee, and just 1 kilometre away from the local pub, restaurants, a fish and chip shop, and a bottle shop.

You’ll be staying in an older-style two-story Queenslander that is fully enclosed underneath. You will have access to high-speed Wi-Fi and a comfortable bedroom featuring a queen-size bed and safe, off-street parking.

**Pet & Plant Care**

Your main companion will be a 9-year-old Mastiff-cross who is super-friendly and absolutely loves cuddles. Being a senior boy, he sleeps a lot and is incredibly low-maintenance—he gets fed twice a day and *does not* require walking. He is totally fine to be left home alone during the day while you go out to work or explore (he hangs out downstairs or outside only if no one is home). However, he does need someone around to sleep at the house overnight.

**Important Safety Rule:**

Our dog is strictly not allowed out the front of the house. Our absolute top priority is that our sitter is incredibly mindful of keeping him safely inside the house or secure in the backyard at all times.

**The Garden:**

We have a selection of low-maintenance indoor plants and a garden that will just need a quick water as required to keep them ticking over.

**Who We Are Looking For**

This sit is ideal for a single person or a couple who love gentle older dogs, enjoy quiet coastal living, and are naturally mindful about keeping gates closed for our dog.

If this sounds like a winter beach getaway you'd enjoy, we would love to hear from you! Please let us know a bit about your experience with large dogs.

Suburb Insights

Arriving in Woody Point, you'll immediately notice the unhurried rhythm of this bayside enclave. The water dictates much of daily life; taking your furry charge for a morning stroll naturally leads to the foreshore path. This extends from Crockatt Park, past the iconic jetty, and towards the Gayundah shipwreck. Along here, you'll encounter a mix of dedicated local walkers and a few anglers casting lines, exchanging quiet greetings. Ample space allows your temporary companion to enjoy the sea air without feeling crowded. Neighbourhood character here leans towards understated familiarity. Along Oxley Avenue, small, independent cafes serve as casual meeting points. Grabbing a coffee often means overhearing local chatter or exchanging nods with fellow pet owners, whose dogs might already be acquainted. Practicalities like groceries are a short drive away, keeping daily errands simple. You’ll find settling into the home’s routine quickly becomes a comfortable part of the street’s calm flow. Evenings bring a distinct quietude. The bay calms, and the sounds of distant gulls replace daytime activity. Consider a leisurely walk just before dusk, perhaps to watch the changing colours over the water, offering a peaceful close to the day for both you and your charge. This community embraces its serene, coastal existence, and your time here will quickly echo that unhurried pace, making your house-sitting duties a seamless part of local living.
