🐕 Mudgee, NSW – 14 to 19 November 2026 – House & dog sitter – Exchange position

A family living on a peaceful rural property near Mudgee, New South Wales is looking for a reliable single person or couple to stay in their home and care for their much-loved 8-year-old cattle dog while they are away.

The position is available from 14 November to 19 November 2026.

The property is around 20 minutes from Mudgee, offering a quiet country setting while still being within easy reach of town.

The role

The main responsibility is simply to be at the property and look after the family home and dog while the owners are away.

Duties will include:

✅ Feeding and caring for a friendly 8-year-old cattle dog
✅ Keeping the dog company and maintaining its normal routine
✅ Keeping an eye on the home and property
✅ General light housesitting duties

Additional paid work available

The family also operates an Airbnb next door.

If you are an experienced cleaner, there may be an opportunity for additional paid work completing Airbnb changeovers during your stay.

This additional work is optional and separate from the house-sitting exchange arrangement.

Who they’re looking for

This opportunity would suit a single traveller or couple who are:

✅ Reliable and trustworthy
✅ Comfortable caring for dogs
✅ Happy living in a rural environment
✅ Clean, tidy and respectful of someone else’s home
✅ Looking for a peaceful short stay near Mudgee

Previous house-sitting or pet-sitting experience would be helpful but is not essential.

This could be a lovely short-term opportunity to spend a few days in the Mudgee region, enjoy a rural home base and potentially pick up some extra paid cleaning work.

If this sounds like a good fit, please get in touch with a little information about yourself or yourselves and your experience with animals.
