I am a single mum with two friendly dogs - a Labrador and Jack Russell - who need looking after.
RESPONSIBILITIES
The dogs need to be fed twice a day (AM and PM) and walked once a day. There are two dog-friendly parks a short distance away.
The pot plants outside need to be watered twice during the time we're gone. (This takes about 30 minutes total each time.)
Aside from that, it's generally just being here, bringing in the mail, putting the rubbish out for collection, etc.
FEATURES
The house is located in the north end of Tempe*. It is near the airport, a major train station (Sydenham), parks, and the bus. Circular Quay is 18 minutes by train. The cool, happening suburb of Newtown is ten minutes by bus. Very close to Sydney's massive new Ikea.
The house has fast WiFi, air conditioning, one master bedroom and two other bedrooms, a cook's kitchen, Foxtel (cable TV) with the platinum package, and a lovely back veranda and garden area.
There is free, unlimited on-street parking in front of the house.
* The north end of Tempe is affected by aircraft noise, but the house was well soundproofed when renovated. You can hear the planes, but it is not intrusive. Houseguests have never had an issue with this.
