Hi
We are looking for a mature aged single or couple to look after our house and 2 dogs for a week in mid September. ( so wonderful weather) The house is in a quiet section of HerveyBay and is on 1 acre with lots of trees and bird life. There is a pool available for use and outdoor areas where you can relax in the sun.The house is approx 4 km from the beach and main shopping centre. Public transport is sporadic so a vehicle is important.We are not gardeners, so yard is basic and you would not be required to do any maintenance. The house is relatively large with 4 bedrooms, brick, air conditioned in main lounge area with a large modern kitchen and is easy care. We have 2 lovely dogs so you do need to be a dog lover. One is a border collie and the other is a Japanese spitz. They enjoy walks but because they have a large yard and it is only for a week, you would only need to walk them if you wanted to. The dogs tend to be wary of strangers so would bark at you until they got to know you and then would lick you to death. When we are at home, they are allowed inside but sleep outside and spend most of the day in the yard. Your main job would be just to feed them, and give some human contact. We do have a pool so if it is windy you might need to empty the skimmer basket as we have a number of trees. Otherwise just add water if needed.
This would be our first experience of house sitting so if there is anything you want to know please contact me. I would prefer someone with references, just for peace of mind.
Looking forward to hearing from you
