Dog sitting/house sitting on beautiful acreage property close to Brisbane CBD, Australia

  Descripción

  I am a single woman (no kids) living on 10 acres of very beautiful garden and Australian bushland. My house and land is located 14 kilometers from the Brisbane CBD in a suburb called Pullenvale. My land is immediately surrounded by the Moggill Conservation Park which is a wonderful place for birdwatching, hiking, mountain bike riding. I have fairly recently purchased the property.
  
  I am a very quiet, solitary person and I work from home. I very rarely have visitors and enjoy reading, hiking and gardening in my spare time. I share my life with a tiny toy poodle - she is immaculately clean and non-shedding and loves to play with her toys and playing 'fetch' in the garden. I am artistic and creative and I work as a construction law consultant. I bought this house and land with the intention of buying a pony/horse so I'm slowly preparing my land for a horse. I am also a car enthusiast, specifically classic Porsches.
  
  Although I am very helpful and friendly, and I prioritize your comfort and the quality of your experience, when I share a house with someone I tend to seek out privacy and stay in my own areas/rooms. I am not a super-sociable person and therefore I like my guests to respect my privacy/quiet time. When I'm not on my computer working, I am generally outside working in my garden.

  Myself and my neighbors are very interested in bushcare and land regeneration. We all volunteer in the conservation park next door by doing plant, wildlife and bird 'surveys' and also by doing volunteering weeding days. There is an abundance of native wildlife all around the house and land - I have kangaroos, bandicoots, goannas, wedge-tailed eagles, many kinds of native birds including tame kookaburras and parrots in my garden and on my verandah on a regular basis. This place is perfect for a naturist/outdoorsman. The conservation park next door is excellent for mountain biking, birdwatching, horse-riding, hiking.

  I am offering accommodation (fully furnished private bedroom and private bathroom including electricity/water/internet) in exchange for help to care for my tiny dog Lolita and approximately one hour of gardening or household chores (cleaning) per day.
  
  I am traveling interstate regularly for work and require someone who LOVES dogs and animals to stay at my home and take care of her while I'm away interstate or while I'm away at the office during the day. This involves allowing her to share your bed (while I'm away interstate), playing games with her (throwing a ball), allowing her to sit on your lap when you're watching TV and feeding her. Basically being her substitute mommy when I'm not home. This is a very easy job and Lolita is a very well behaved and immaculately groomed little dog who loves people.
  
  This role is only suited for someone with demonstrable love and affection for animals especially small dogs and who will stay home with Lolita, especially at night on the nights that I'm traveling interstate. You must be extremely responsible and reliable - Lolita is very very precious to me.
  
  There is also some light house cleaning tasks, like vacuuming, dusting, floor washing, window cleaning, etc. and possibly some light gardening work like hand weeding. Approximately one hour per day.
  
  This role is suited to a male or female however in my experience, women are more attentive and affectionate to tiny little dogs!

  Alojamiento

  Private bedroom fully furnished with private bathroom and private (small) lounge/sitting/TV room. Guest can also use my home cinema which is great fun to watch movies/listen to music/chill. Shared kitchen. Guest must be very clean and tidy especially in the kitchen. My kitchen and communal areas are always very clean and tidy.
  
  The suitable person would respect my living habits - which is to conserve water and electricity as much as possible. Buying and maintaining a property of this value and size is extremely expensive and therefore my house guests must assist me to minimize my bills by not taking long showers or being wasteful. I'm not obsessive about these things but I do require the person to show respect to this issue.
  
  Unfortunately the swimming pool in the photographs is not available for use (I have converted it into a pond/wetland for wildlife, birds/frogs/fish).

  Depending on the planned lifestyle/activities of the guest, it may be necessary for the guest to have their own car or motorcycle or bicycle if the guest plans to do a lot of activities like going into the Brisbane CBD. There is a very good, regular bus that goes from Pullenvale to Brisbane CBD (and back) however, the distance between my home and the bus stop is approximately 4km and takes about 50 minutes to walk (it is a beautiful walk but there are steep hills).
  
  The guest can do anything in their spare time that they wish to do, but without a car/motorcycle/bicycle to travel between my house and the bus stop, it would be difficult to do activities away from my home. If you want to get a better idea of what the environment around my home is like, please go on google maps 'satellite' view and look at 'Pullenvale'. Find the location where the suburb of Pullenvale meets with the 'Moggill Conservation Park' and you will see what the area/environment is like. No footpaths, no street lights, no neighbors close by.
