Hi House Sitters! I am going to the USA on holidays for 6 weeks from 22 Sept 2012, and my house sitter has had to pull out due to a health emergency in her family in NZ - help! First – the babies..... I have a large well trained female ridgeback (she stays inside with me when I am home as she is my shadow, but stays outside if I am not home), and an indoor cat (male) who has a secure area outside at one side of the house. My daughter’s young male “dog-in-training” (border collie X) will also stay for the first 3 weeks of our holiday, at which time his “dad” will collect him. Both dogs are sooks, love people and each other. All animals are neutered and house trained – cat uses a litter box. My ridgie is protective of her home, so you will have additional peace of mind with security. Also, 6 foot high fences, so no accidental escapes! My house is a lovely new one in a new estate in Brassall, Queensland. No real garden to speak of as I was waiting for the dog to mature before landscaping, so just standard mowing/snipping required (I can get this done for you if need be), but a nice BBQ area, a movie room with a 3metre screen (and about 100 movies!), and all mod cons. Close to all the usual amenities (shops, pub, gym), including the Brisbane train line 5 mins drive away. I would need you to stay from approx 19th or 20th Sept to enable my babies to get used to you for a couple of days before I leave. I will be working full time up until the day before I fly out, so you would have the house to yourselves during the day. I have included a photo of my babies, and one of me. If you are interested and would like more info, please pop me an . I would love to hear from you!
