We are looking for a house and pet sitter for 4 weeks, beginning Saturday 28 June and going to Saturday 26 July. We have a 3 bedroom house in a quiet street of Gilmore (east tuggeranong suburb of Canberra) and a small male terrier who needs a daily walk and companionship. Dog: is trained, very friendly, loves pats and other dogs. Some of the things would be asking the house sitter to do for our dog include taking him for at least one walk per day mins is fine although he is always keen for more), take him to the nearby dog park once a week (he loves playing with other dogs) and spending time with him (and feeding him, but he won't let you forget that part).
At this time of the year the house pretty much looks after itself (there is a big, established backyard and porch). No TV connected but a big projector and computer on which you can watch movies and iView and sbs. As with most house sits we are not asking for any rent, but we ask for you to cover your use of the utilities.
We are pretty open - someone (or a couple) with experience looking after or owning a dog, and house sitting references would be good. Obviously we would meet up beforehand to chat in more detail too.
Please get in touch if you are interested.
