Assignment Requirements

We are going overseas for 6 weeks and are looking for a dog lover who’d love to house sit in beautiful leafy Bardon with our 2 year old border collie and 1 year old dachshund (both boys).

They are house dogs and love lots of company and affection. Regular walks would be greatly appreciated.

We also have 4 chickens in an enclosure that has an automatic feeder but just need daily egg collection and water. You’ll need to feel comfortable going into their pen and picking them up if necessary (one regularly gets broody and needs to be removed from nest box).

We have 4 bed 3 bathroom house with regular cleaner and gardener. Property has a pool which needs minimal maintenance - mostly just ensuring filter is running daily. Includes double garage and additional off street parking (driveway), solar heated swimming pool, ducted air conditioning, very private (overlooks bush reserve), and Foxtel/Netflix/Disney channels.

Located only 5km from CBD. Easy access via bus to Paddington, City, Southbank, Roma St station and The Gap. Short drive to Mt Coothta and Brisbane river. Walking distance to convenience stores, bakeries, restaurants, post office, pharmacy, newsagents etc.

About the Area

BARDON Brisbane, Queensland
Suburb Insights
Settling into Bardon, you'll find the rhythm here generally calm, a comfortable pace for daily routines with any pets in your care. Many local streets are lined with mature trees, offering shaded walks ideal for dog exercise. Just beyond the residential pockets, the start of the Mt Coot-tha trails are readily accessible, providing more extensive routes for active dogs and panoramic views after a morning excursion. Consider the elevation; some walks will involve uphill stretches, beneficial for energetic companions. The frequent bus service along Jubilee Terrace and Bardon Road offers direct links into the city for personal errands, reducing reliance on a car if you’re primarily staying local. For daily provisions, Bardon Central hosts an IGA supermarket and a pharmacy, a convenient stop after a walk or before settling in for the evening. Larger grocery runs typically involve a short drive to Ashgrove or Toowong, where major supermarkets are located, so factor this into your schedule for stocking the pantry. Should a veterinary visit become necessary for the pets, local clinics are found within easy driving distance, an important consideration for their well-being. Weekends might involve a trip to the Milton markets or a coffee stop at Rosalie Village, both accessible by bus or a short drive, providing a pleasant change of scenery without venturing too far from the home.
