My husband Jon and I are flying to Perth to spend Christmas with our family. Unfortunately, that means we have to leave Ringo (Staffy x) behind and are in need of a house sitter.

If you are free to come and spend time with Ringo, walk him, feed him twice a day, keep him company in the evenings and look after our house (it has a small pool to enjoy), please let us know.

It'll be hot in Cairns, but our house has air con, a pool and a bbq. The local beach is a 20-minute walk away and the Bluewater Bar and Grill is a 15-minute walk from the house. Earl Hill is a nearby walking track where you can hike to the summit or cut across to the beach. There are also some beautiful swimming holes and waterfalls to explore - and it's a great time of year to get out to the Barrier Reef or islands for a snorkel (with a stinger suit) or visit the rainforest, Palm Cove, Kuranda and other stunning places - all very close by. There are numerous restaurants and bars in nearby Trinity Beach and Palm Cove and it's only 30 minutes to Cairns Esplanade/lagoon where there is lots more to explore. There may be limited use of a car (to be discussed), if required.

Sorry, this assignment has been closed.
