Assignment Requirements

Hi! My name is Keren and I require a Housesitter to care for two small dogs...12 year old Long Haired Chihuahua and 5 year old Tibetan Spaniel. They are very low maintenance dogs that are not anxious or needy. Although they enjoy a walk, they do not require it daily.

Also, I would appreciate my pot plants watered a couple of times a week. Other gardening needs are attended by a regular lawn mowing contractor.

Harvey is a small rural community and is conveniently located about 1hr 30 mins south of Perth and 35 mins north of the city of BUNBURY. The town of Harvey has all the basic necessities...two supermarkets, pharmacy, banks, post office, recreational Centre, bakery, several cafes and restaurants. Harvey is surrounded by rolling hills on the east of town and to the west is dairy farms and orange orchards. It is just 15 mins to the coast and the beautiful WA beaches.

Ideally the house sitter can do the whole sit, but am prepared to break into shorter stints.

Suburb Insights
Harvey mornings unfold at an unhurried pace, ideal for establishing a gentle routine with your temporary companions. A walk along the Harvey River foreshore is a daily staple, the wide path providing ample space for leashed dogs to explore without encountering much traffic. Birdsong often accompanies the stroll, a pleasant backdrop as you watch the water flow. Afterwards, grab a coffee from a local cafe on Harper Street; it’s a small town where familiar faces quickly become regulars. The quiet pace here means your days caring for pets will be calm, allowing for consistent feeding and playtime schedules within a peaceful environment. Beyond the daily walks, Harvey offers a quiet local flavour. The Stirling Cottage, with its historical gardens, provides a peaceful afternoon wander, suitable for a well-behaved dog on lead if allowed, or a solo exploration. For fresh produce, keep an eye out for roadside stalls offering seasonal fruits, a direct reminder of the region’s agricultural heart. A visit to Harvey Cheese will let you sample local artisan products, a delightful treat after caring for the home. The Big Orange, a local landmark, offers a quirky photo opportunity, reflecting the town’s citrus heritage. Evenings often mean simple, home-cooked meals, perhaps using ingredients from the local IGA, or a relaxed dinner at the local pub.
