Assignment Requirements

We have a lovely home on the river, only 2 minutes walk from town. We need someone to take care of our house while we are away. The main responsibility is that of our two dogs. They are 9 years old, Labrador x Kelpie x Staffie and a few other breeds thrown in. They are getting older but still have energy and need a walk/run everyday.

We also have six lovely chickens. They lay one egg each a day, so plenty of omelettes and cakes for you! We also have an extensive vegetable garden as well.

The house is a lovely 2 bed 1930s high set timber home with mosquito screens, ceiling fans and aircon. There is a beautiful deck and a leafy garden full of fruit trees. We have good neighbours and love living here. It has been our family home for more than 10 years.

The maintaince is minimal with about 50sqm lawn the rest is veg/fruit trees and mulched area The main priority is that our dogs are well looked after who sleep inside (not on the beds) and that our chickens get some time outside their coop in the evenings for half and hour or so.

If this sounds like you we would love to hear from you.

About the Area

Suburb Insights
Start the day with a gentle walk along North Lismore's quieter residential streets. Mature trees canopy many paths, offering pleasant shade for a morning stroll with canine companions. A short venture towards the Showground precinct provides expansive grassed areas for a longer lead-walk, allowing for a good sniff-around before the day warms. This calm morning atmosphere lends itself to a relaxed pace for both sitter and pet, establishing a gentle routine. After the morning outing, settling into the home offers a tranquil base. The residential nature of North Lismore means less through-traffic, contributing to a peaceful environment for napping pets and quiet tasks. For provisions, a brief drive or an easy cycle across the bridge connects you to Lismore's central district, where specific pet food requirements or a simple coffee stop can be managed efficiently. Saturdays bring the Lismore Farmers Market to the nearby Showground, providing fresh produce and a brief change of scenery close to home. Afternoons in North Lismore encourage a slower rhythm. Enjoy a shaded spot in the garden or simply the quiet indoors with your furry charges. As dusk approaches, a final neighbourhood walk can round out the day, enjoying the cooler air. The area’s predominantly residential character ensures a peaceful evening, making it easy to maintain consistent routines for pets accustomed to calm surroundings. This deliberate quiet allows for attentive pet care and a truly restorative home-base experience.
