Assignment Requirements

Hello, I am looking for a house sitter mainly for the care of my 2 small dogs, the babies! One of them, Minnie, aged 9, is very nervous and has been abused previously, before I got her from RSPCA. She is loving and just wants to lick non stop (but we don't allow face licking). She is lazy, anxious and does not really enjoy walks, but she usually goes every day. She prefers the dog park or beach. The other dog Bambi is 7 years old. Bambi is a delightful girl, loves cuddles, and loves everyone, She also loves walks and attention. Bambi regularly (maybe twice a week) gets a walk by herself, when Minnie chooses not to come, which is much faster and longer, and she loves that. They are both chihuahua x mini foxy.

Ideally seeking someone who will be home most of the time, as they are used to me working from home.

Essential requirement; someone who can happily share a bed with 2 small dogs (they have their own little beds ON my bed) and provide morning cuddles and bedtime story (no, I'm not kidding - well a cuddle each, and a little chat about their day. I know, its bonkers, and they're spoilt, but its what we do).

We also have a garden with some veggies and fruit trees which just needs watering, and eating! Minimal mowing, probably once will do it. My home is about 25 minutes from the CBD of Brisbane or 50 minutes by train. We are 15-20 minutes walk from the station. We have a lovely dog park in Birkdale, by the water (5 minute drive) and a lovely beach at Wellington Point (10 minute drive). We live in a single storey 3 bedroom home, 5 minute drive to the shopping centre with Woolworths, restaurants etc. Please respond if this sounds like something you would consider and enjoy, thank you

About the Area

BIRKDALE Brisbane, Queensland
Suburb Insights
Your mornings in Birkdale often begin with the distinct sound of kookaburras. A brisk walk with the resident dog might take you along the wide paths of Birkdale South Community Park, where the air carries a faint salt tang from the Bay. The pace here encourages a slower start, perfect for ensuring pets receive their dedicated attention before the day warms. You'll find a quiet rhythm settling in quickly. For weekend exploration, the foreshore at Wellington Point, just a short drive, offers expansive views across Moreton Bay and welcomes dogs for a spirited run. Afterwards, a coffee from a local cafe on Main Road or a stop at the Sunday Cleveland Markets for fresh produce connects you to the broader Redlands community. While the Birkdale train station provides direct access for a city visit, the appeal of returning to the bay's calmer energy is usually strong. Evenings often involve the gentle hum of cicadas and a sky painted with bay-side sunsets. This environment naturally fosters a sense of peace, making it easy to settle into the routine of caring for a home and its animals. The emphasis is on simple pleasures: a walk, the smell of the sea, and the unhurried flow of suburban life by the water.
