Assignment Requirements

Looking for a caring person to be with our pets while we're away. We have three small dogs and a cat, with varying personalities. We live on the edge of a beautiful creekside park, where our dogs loved to be walked. Our home is a modern townhouse with fast internet in a quiet neighbourhood.

We generally feed and walk our dogs twice daily. They are excellent coworkers for those who work remotely. They will generally sit with you while you work and make occasional announcements about passersby. Our cat also likes occasional pats and affection but often keeps to herself when she's not teasing the dogs or being licked by our tiny dog who is smaller than the cat.

The house is a three bedroom, three story townhouse that looks out onto the raingarden next to the creek and parkland. We have plants inside and outside that need occasional watering.

If you're looking for a getaway in Melbourne that's a mix of leafy parkland and close to shops, cafes and periurban life, get in touch. (We also have a hot tub where you can relax in the evenings.)

About the Area

COBURG NORTH Melbourne, Victoria
Suburb Insights
In Coburg North, your days will unfold with a distinct local rhythm, often beginning along the Merri Creek Trail. This winding path, lined with native trees, serves as an excellent natural circuit for daily dog walks, offering open space for pets to explore. The creek's quiet presence sets a calm tone, perfect for easing into morning routines after tending to household duties. You'll appreciate the area's relaxed pace, where green spaces are readily accessible, simplifying pet outings. For provisions and a taste of local life, Merlynston Village provides a small, unhurried hub. Here, cafes offer good coffee and simple breakfast options – ideal for a quiet moment before your next pet-sitting task. Local grocers and bakeries cater to daily needs, making it easy to stock the pantry with fresh bread or ingredients for home-cooked meals. Weekends might involve a short trip to the Coburg Farmers Market for seasonal produce, enriching your home experience. While the Upfield train line offers easy access to the city, the true charm lies in Coburg North's unpretentious character. This isn't high-street culture; rather, it’s found in quiet neighbourhood parks, occasional street art, or the simple pleasure of an evening stroll past established gardens. Evenings encourage settling in, perhaps reading with a contented cat nearby, or enjoying a meal prepared with local ingredients. The suburb fosters a genuine sense of calm, allowing you to integrate pet care with a gentle exploration of its low-key attractions.
