We are going away in September this year for 5 weeks and need someone to look after our crazy cat and adorable dog. Jazz the cat lives inside and is a bit nervous of strangers. Max the cattle dog is very friendly and loves going for walks once or twice a day. The house is comfortable with ducted gas heating (essential for Canberra winters). We have a good sized garden that is low maintenance and shouldn’t take up any of your time unless you want it to. There is a fairly well equipped kitchen and a large deck to enjoy the backyard. The spare bedroom has an ensuite, so there is a choice of bathrooms. We are close to a bus route, but would recommend your own transport. A midsized shopping complex with supermarkets, banking, library and some specialty stores is a 10 minute walk away. Or if you just need the newspapers or some milk, the local supermarket is at the end of the street.
