    Description

    Hi there. My name is Brooke. I’m a writer. My partner Leo is an artist. We live in Phegans Bay on the NSW central coast with our dog Archie and two cats, Gandalf and Amora.
    The central coast is only an hour and a bit north of Sydney and home to some of the most beautiful beaches, hikes and nature.

    We live amongst the treetops on a bush block.

    Home to plenty of local wildlife, you could meet kookaburras, cockatoos, echidnas and king parrots.

    And you’d be hanging out with Archie the cavalier as well as Gandalf the 8-year-old cat and Amora the lively 1-year-old kitten.

    We are looking for someone to take care of our 3 pets while we are away from August 22 to September 12. We both work from home so ideally would like someone who is here most of the time.

    Spend your days sunning yourself on the deck watching the bird life.

    Take Archie the cavalier with you to explore the local cafes and beaches.

    A typical day with the fur kids looks like this:

    5am - Cats wake up but fear not, they are fed by automatic feeders!
    7am - Take Archie for a walk around the block
    7.15am - Serve Archie his breakfast
    11am - Take Archie out for a quick wee
    4pm - Feed Archie & the cats
    4.30pm - Take Archie out for a wee
    5pm - Play with Amora on her cat tower
    9-10pm - Take Archie out for a wee before bed

    The rest of the time is yours to enjoy. Make the most of our beautifully renovated house. Catch up on your favourite shows (we have Netflix, Stan, Binge and Disney+). Explore the local area.

    The house has decent WIFI so you could also be working from here. And you can use my dedicated office space with stunning views of the trees.

    While we are away you will have full access to the house and sleep in the king size bed with ensuite.

    The house is stylishly decorated and has a gorgeous deck among the treetops.

    As this is a house sit, you will need to provide your own meals but you are welcome to help yourself to anything in the cupboards.
