Pet and House Sitter for South Coast NSW
This housesit is in the lovely area of Long Beach on the NSW south coast.
Long Beach is about 8 minutes north of Batemans Bay. It is a beautiful area, lots of beaches, National parks, tourist areas.
Our home is on the ridge line and overlooks Long Beach itself and has a 180 degree unobstructed view of the ocean and the Tollgate Islands. It is two minutes drive to the beach or about 10 minutes walk. The area we live is in has new homes surrounding us and it is quiet. You will hear the bird life and see a multitude of kangaroos and wallabies jumping around. Batemans Bay is our closest shopping area and it has four large supermarkets, numerous speciality shops, cinema, Clubs and restaurants. It is about 8 minutes away by car, but Long Beach is on a bus route into Batemans Bay.
We have a little dog that needs extra loving care. She has been with us for 13 years so is very much a part of the family. She is a Chihuahua Fox Terrier cross (very placid) – so is about the size of a miniature Foxy (about 4.5kg), and we think she is very cute and affectionate. She loves nothing better than sitting on your lap, or being with you, eating food and lying in the sun. She is in good health and is not on any regular medications. She does have some pain medication if she starts to get too sore with arthritis. She also has a minor heart murmur that does not require any treatment. She does like going for little walks. She sleeps in our bedroom in her own bed, and she knows she is not to get on the beds, but this does not stop her trying and asking to get up and be cuddled.
Our home is modern and has five bedrooms and is two storied. There is a formal lounge and dining area, family room, kitchen, main bedroom with ensuite, large bedroom with two single beds, study, laundry and separate toilet, separate shower and separate hand basin are all on the top level. There are two bedrooms (one a double with ensuite) down stairs on the ground floor, along with the front door and double garage. Each bedroom has its own wardrobes. The kitchen has all new appliances, as does the laundry. The house is heated/ cooled by reverse cycle air conditioners. On the roof we have solar power that feeds back into the grid and does not power directly into the house. There is a steep drive from the road to the garage. The house is security alarmed. The house faces South East however the main living areas get sun all day long and there is a veranda that also captures the sun all day. There is a front deck that overlooks the sea and it is a nice area to sit for breakfast, afternoon coffee or drinks at the end of the day.
There is a large TV in the family room, we have internet and wi-fi , there is no land line to the house. Our mobile coverage, via Telstra and Optus, is generally good.
The garden generally will not need any watering as it has managed to survive without any watering for a number of years. The only real maintenance is lawn mowing in the back yard only and watering pot plants. Please note that the back lawn is on a slope.
We do prefer non smokers as we are non smokers ourselves. We do not mind a single person or a couple for house sitters, nor do we mind male or female, our wish is for you to care for our little dog and take care of our home. In that respect we would like to get updates via from our little dog on a regular basis.
We will have further sits in July and August of 2 weeks duration each.
