Assignment Requirements

We live in a 3 bedroom house with a reasonable backyard and small vegetable patch. All gardens and lawn are self maintaining, so no work required, but you are welcome to dabble. We have just harvested a heap of pumpkins and you may wish to dig up some sweet potato while here. The strawberries never stop and at the moment the passionfruits are in full swing. Lettuce, capsicum and tommy tomatoes are also very sweet at the moment due to the warmer autumn. The house has a cleaner who visits once a week to clean the bathrooms, toilets, mop the floors and vacuum the carpets in the bedrooms. Internet and wifi are also available.

We are close to shops, the train station (less than 10 minute walk) and 15 minute drive to Rockingham beach and restaurants. Rockingham beach is a beautiful beach to walk along, and Kwinana beach, which is closer, has a dog beach. We spend may hours there playing with other peoples dogs; much to the disgust of our cat.

We are looking for a house sitter willing to look after one cat. At the moment she needs medication, but this can be in tablet form or a cream that is applied to the ear. Both options are available for you to choose from.

We are happy for people to start a week before and/or leave a week later, providing they do not mind house sharing with us during those extended weeks.

About the Area

Wellard Perth, Western Australia
Suburb Insights
Wellard offers a peaceful pace for house sitters, especially those caring for pets. Mornings often begin with the sounds of local birds rather than traffic, setting a calm tone for your day. Numerous local parks with accessible walking paths provide ample opportunity for daily strolls with your charges; The Village Green, near Wellard Station, is a convenient spot for an evening leg-stretch for both you and a dog. You’ll find essentials and a couple of casual cafes at Wellard Square for a coffee after your morning routine. Weekends invite exploration beyond immediate suburban routes. Utilise the Mandurah Line from Wellard Station; a quick ride north delivers you directly to Fremantle’s historic streets and bustling markets for a change of scene. For a coastal outing, a short drive west takes you to Rockingham Beach. Designated sections there often welcome canine companions, making it a refreshing destination for a shared beach walk and a swim, ensuring your pets also enjoy new environments. Alternatively, head south on a Sunday for a change of scenery. The quiet bush trails around Baldivis offer a different kind of outdoor experience, suitable for longer, shaded dog walks away from paved paths. The area's natural reserves provide a chance to connect with local flora and fauna. Evenings back in Wellard are typically quiet, allowing for relaxed pet care routines after a day of fresh air and discovery.
