Charming Art Deco Cottage in the Blue Mountains – Pet Lovers’ Retreat

Looking for a peaceful escape in the stunning Blue Mountains? My quaint two-bedroom Art Deco cottage, surrounded by a pretty garden, is the perfect spot for a quiet getaway — and I’m looking for a caring house sitter (or sitters) to enjoy it while looking after my furry family.

You’ll be sharing the space with two affectionate greyhounds and three friendly indoor cats. They’re all easy-going and love a bit of company — cuddles, food, and fresh water once a day is all they ask! The greyhounds have access to secure outdoor areas via doggie doors at the front the house, while the cats enjoy a cosy indoor life.

The home and stay:

• Two-bedroom Art Deco cottage with leafy gardens, herb patch and fruit trees

• Comfortable for a single person or couple

• Peaceful, friendly neighbourhood — strictly no parties or loud music

• Help yourself to fresh herbs, veggies, and fruit from the garden

• Sorry, I can’t accommodate additional pets

The location:

• Located in Hazelbrook, just 15–30 minutes’ drive to the gorgeous towns of Leura, Katoomba, Wentworth Falls, and Blackheath

• Walking distance to Terrace Falls and other beautiful bushwalks

• Close to world-class restaurants, antique stores, galleries,

• The Blue Mountains are UNESCO World Heritage-listed

• A 45-minute scenic drive to the renowned Mount Wilson gardens — a must-see in any season

This house sit would suit a quiet, responsible person or pair who love animals and nature. While the pets do need daily care, there’s no need to be home during the day — they’re used to having the house to themselves while I’m at work, so you’ll have plenty of time to explore the region.

A few essentials:

• Must be non-smoking

• No additional pets

• Police check preferred and references required

• I’d prefer to meet the afternoon before the sit begins, so I can introduce you to the animals and show you the routine

If this sounds like your kind of escape, I’d love to hear from you!

I am seeking a reliable, animal-loving house sitter to care for my much-loved pets while I am away. My home is shared with two affectionate greyhounds and three friendly cats.

Responsibilities include:

Feeding all pets once daily

Topping up water daily

Daily brushing for my very sweet and affectionate Himalayan cat- Dolly

Cleaning kitty litter daily

Providing cuddles, company, and quality time with all animals

Occasional pooper-scooping of dog poo from the front lawn

Greyhound or large dog experience preferred. My greyhounds are gentle and friendly, but Snoopy may jump up on you when he is excited to see you- best with someone comfortable around bigger dogs. Snoopy (black and white) requires daily administration of fluoxetine and gabapentin.

Other requirements: Watering the garden if it doesn't rain. The garden is very nice and should be looking beautiful at this time of year. You also need to do a dog poo patrol occasionally - poop-a-scoop provided.
