Looking for someone to mind a 6 month old Cocker Spaniel, a 4 year old tonkinese cat and 4 fish over Christmas. We are 5 minutes from Canterbury train station, two supermarkets and many bus routes. We live opposite a park, the Cooks River and many kms of cycling, walking and running pathways. Some watering, pet feeding and walking our dog 1-2 times a day would be terrific.

Experience with animals and a good record of housesitting would be preferable.

There is on and off street parking, a private backyard, BBQ, large TV with Netflix, Apple TV, Disney & Prime Amazon. Unlimited Wifi throughout the house.

Only a few km from the CBD, 20 minutes by train, ten minutes by car.

About the Area

Canterbury Sydney, New South Wales
Suburb Insights
Your mornings in Canterbury often begin with the soft murmur of the T3 line in the distance, a gentle reminder of the city's pulse without its immediate rush. Pet walks naturally gravitate towards the Cooks River, where the dedicated pathway offers a tranquil stretch for any companion animal, whether it’s a brisk morning run or a leisurely sniff-and-stroll. The river itself draws a consistent rhythm through the suburb, offering a natural boundary and a green corridor. After a riverside outing, settling into the household routine might involve a quick trip to the local grocers near Canterbury Station, perhaps pausing for a coffee at one of the smaller cafes lining Canterbury Road. This area provides practical conveniences without feeling overwhelming. The neighbourhood retains a residential quietness, interspersed with the regular passing of buses and the occasional distant train horn. You'll find the rhythm here unfolds steadily, not hurried. Afternoons invite longer exploration; continue further along the Cooks River path towards Earlwood or Hurlstone Park for a change of scenery, or simply enjoy the domestic calm of your temporary home. For those times when the homeowner’s pet needs a different park experience, Canterbury Gardens offers a smaller, contained space. Evenings typically draw to a peaceful close, the sounds of local life receding. The ease of access to the T3 line means wider Sydney is always within reach for any off-duty hours, though many find contentment staying within Canterbury's quieter bounds.
