Assignment Requirements

Share house with Karen, my female housemate who is in her mid fifties, and two very friendly dogs - Ella (my dog) and Sam (her dog).

Housemate will feed the dogs, and some days dogwalkers or my sons will come and walk the dogs, so your main task would just be to be extra company for dogs, and perhaps feed them once or twice if Karen needs to be out.

House has decent bathroom and kitchen, and small rear yard. Your bedroom on other side of house from Karen's, so you would have your privacy.

House has some dietary restrictions...no pig, crustaceans (crab, lobster, prawns) or molluscs (shellfish) to be consumed in house, and we have separate meat and milk dishes (I am Jewish, my housemate is not, but she respects this tradition)

House is on quiet street, near shops, and near main road with public transport routes.

Female probably preferable, but negotiable.

About the Area

HILLSDALE Sydney, New South Wales
Suburb Insights
Hillsdale settles into a comfortable rhythm; mornings often begin with the sounds of local life rather than an urban rush. For those caring for a dog, the expansive pathways of Heffron Park are a short walk away. This large green space offers specific off-leash zones, making morning stretches and energetic runs straightforward and enjoyable before the day truly warms. Its accessible routes are perfect for establishing a consistent routine for your temporary companions. After a walk, a coffee from a local spot on Hillsdale Loop or a quick visit to the nearby fruit and deli provides fresh provisions for the day. You'll find everyday essentials without needing to venture far from home. For a change of scenery, a quick bus journey east brings you to Maroubra Beach, where the ocean breeze is invigorating, or further south to Malabar Beach, which offers quieter, protected waters, a serene spot for a peaceful moment by the water's edge. Evenings here are generally tranquil, reflecting the suburb's community-oriented feel. Preparing a meal at home with fresh ingredients from local providores feels natural. When a longer stroll is desired, the pathways tracing the coastline towards Little Bay offer expansive views of the Tasman Sea, a lovely way to unwind after looking after your charges. This slower pace allows ample time for routines and quiet moments, benefiting both you and any animals in your care, encouraging a relaxed stay.
