Our home

We are looking for someone to care for our three indoor cats. They are 2 year old, 5 year and 7 year old cats. We are looking for someone to spend time with them at our home. The cats enjoy a cuddle and are used to us being at home mostly. There will be some looking after of our plants mainly watering if needed and nothing too difficult. We are looking for non smokers please. Our spare room is a double bed with ensuite which opens up onto our garden. We are surrounded by beautiful beaches.

favoriteWhat we love about our area

We have amazing neighbours but also we have an array of beaches near to out house which make for beautiful walks but also lovely for a sunny beach day. We have Shakespear Park near by which is a beautiful reserve walk.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Housesit in Arkles Bay for Barbara , Stephanie and Garth . Their home was very comfortable and beautifully clean . Smooch & Bentley (Cats ) we're adorable so easy to look after . We highly recommend them for any future Housesitters .
We had a wonderful time in Stephanie and Gareth's beautiful home over the Christmas and New Year period. All three of the fur babies - Tolstoy, Smooch and Bentley - warmed to us while we were there, which was lovely. The gardens were a delightful sight to enjoy while we were there. We found watering the garden intimidating at first but Gareth had compiled clear and comprehensive instructions so we got to grips with it all in no time! Communication was excellent throughout, a great information ... MoreWe had a wonderful time in Stephanie and Gareth's beautiful home over the Christmas and New Year period.

Communication was excellent throughout, a great information book was left for us and even a few helpful videos were sent for us to refer to. Thanks for the opportunity!

We thoroughly enjoyed our sit at Stephanie, Gareth, and Barbara's home looking after their two mischievous cats Smooch and Bentley. They were very nervous at first but by the end of our stay, we were firm friends. Smooch lives up to his name! Our other main responsibility was caring for their garden but Gareth's irrigation system and brilliant instructions made this relatively easy. Their house is an elegant, spacious family home in a great area for walks and close to some brilliant ...

Their house is an elegant, spacious family home in a great area for walks and close to some brilliant beaches. It is a very safe and quiet neighborhood with great recreational amenities. Stephanie, Gareth, and Barbara were welcoming, lovely to deal with, and good communicators. We highly recommend this sit.
