We are looking for someone to look after our home and dog over Christmas, from 11 Dec 2014 until 5 Jan We live in Cooma, a town of around 6000 people at the gateway to the Snowy Mountains. We're in a great location if you enjoy the outdoors: about 75 mins from Canberra, 35 minutes from Jindabyne, 60 mins from Thredbo or the Bega valley and 90 minutes from the beach. Cooma has everything you need from a small town including restaurants, pubs, an outdoor swimming pool, a river and beautiful walking trails. It has lovely alpine climate with reasonably hot, dry days and cooler nights.
Our home is a 3 bedroom house (with 2 bedrooms furnished) located in town with a view from the top of the hill. You'll be caring for Archie, a good natured, energetic border collie cross who needs daily exercise and loves human attention. We have a number of walking trails through the bush a few hundred meters from the house that Archie knows very well, so if you enjoy walking, you'd love the lifestyle. We also ask that you collect the mail and water the garden a few times a week.
