Sail_Away Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Hi DOLers This is most likely a long shot but I thought I would put it out there.. I am looking for a rental property or house sitting opportunity between April and October (preferably) for myself (29 years), mother and Vizsla... Our house has just sold and while my mother builds her next house we require short term (6 months) accommodation. With a dog it can be difficult and I thought I would just see whether anyone on here requires a house sitter or knows of a rental in the Gold Coast/Norther Rivers, NSW region.... I am an animal lover and welcome the opportunity to care for someone else's pets whilst they are away. Feel free to PM me if you know of anyone or would like more information about myself. I'm not expecting a result from posting on here but thought as we are all dog lovers, people may know of some other options or avenues I could investigate... Thanks for listening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 There are heaps of cheap rentals around the Gold Coast. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasareina Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I am going away mid May and would love someone to come and spoil my 2 staffies but I'm only going for 2 weeks so i think that might be a little toooo short term :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for listening Is sunshine coast to far north? I might know somewhere in Mooloolaba, its a house that is empty somewhat as the person is away nearly 3 weeks out of 4, let me know and I will ask. Its an older style house it's not fenced but im sure dogs would be fine but you might have to put up temporary fencing or a dog yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really appreciate your post, so thank you so much for the reply however, Sunshine Coast is too far north unfortunately as I work in Tweed Heads, NSW so need somewhere within reasonable driving distance to the area.

I hope you find someone who can - there are some companies out there which come to your house and pet sit when on holidays... better than kennels! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasareina Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Haha yeah i thought it would Be :p my brother in law lives on our bottom level so he will look after them for me, I just like it if someones stays in our house so they still get to have cuddles on the lounge in the evening and sleep in the bed haha. I'm working on my brother who is back at mum and dads at the moment lol. I actually have a pet sitting business myself and couldn't agree more with you last sentence :laugh: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boronia Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) How about Chinderah? here is a link on rentals in the surrounding area http://www.realestat...nsw+2487/list-1 and here is a little $300 p/w house with a fence that'll do for a few months http://www.realestat...south-412676767 Is Mullumbimbi too far away? (it is pretty there) http://www.realestat...bimby-412483747 Edited March 14, 2014 by Boronia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazyWal Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) Heaps of cheap rentals around Tweed Heads and when I lived up there, albeit 10 years ago, they were very pet friendly. As Boronia said look around Chinderah and Cudgen, I used to work at the Chinderah Pub and the Dolphins Hotel :) , or even Murwillumbah, Clothiers Creek. Only 30 mins to Tweed. I lived at Cabarita at the time and still have friends at Kingscliff but a quick look at rentals shows that area isn't cheap these days.

Sail_Away Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Thanks for your suggestions everyone. I live on the NSW border so am familiar with chinderah etc.. I'll just keep an eye out on rentals, I'm sure we'll find something. I don't think it will be possible to arrange a house sit for those dates plus having my dog with me so I think I need to scrap that thought.
