Assignment Requirements

Hello, we have a renovated tidy 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home with a double carport. The garden is extremely low maintenance, only requiring lawn mowing (every 2-3 weeks in winter). We would consider getting a mowing company in to do it.

There are two dogs and two cats to look after.

The dogs are 6 & 12 years old, and are need around an hour walk each day and the backyard checked for droppings. Medication needs are very light.

The cats are 4 & 11 years old. The 11 year old cat does need daily medication in the form of tablets and a syringe squirt in the mouth. He's quite used to the squirt, but doesn't like it of course. There is also a cat litter to keep cleaned.

We are in the planning stage, and are flexible with dates and duration as this will be our first time using this service, and having other people look after the pets so we're obviously a bit nervous!

About the Area

Kariong Sydney, New South Wales
Suburb Insights
Kariong offers a slower rhythm, nestled between the M1 and the bushland fringes of the Brisbane Water National Park. Dogs will appreciate the quiet residential streets here; morning walks often involve a mix of paved footpaths and glimpses of gum trees, inviting calm exploration. The air carries the scent of eucalyptus, a constant reminder of the surrounding nature, which provides a gentle backdrop to your daily routines caring for pets. This is a place where a friendly nod to a passing neighbour is common, reinforcing a local, unhurried atmosphere. For daily needs, the Kariong Shopping Village provides an IGA, pharmacy, and a few takeaway options, making routine errands straightforward. Picking up pet food or a forgotten item for yourself becomes a quick task, allowing more time to enjoy the home and its occupants. The pace means you won't feel rushed when taking a pet for their midday stretch, or settling in for an evening with a book after their last walk. Exploring slightly beyond the immediate streets reveals opportunities to connect with the landscape. Short drives can lead to various tracks within the national park, offering a change of scenery for an active dog and stunning views from places like Staples Lookout. Even without leaving the suburb, the numerous small parks and open spaces provide ample spots for a ball toss or a simple sit-down with your charge. Kariong fosters a sense of being connected to nature while still benefiting from convenient local services, making for a smooth house-sitting experience.
