Albert Park, Victoria

About this house sitting position in ALBERT PARK

Cosy Victorian cottage, renovated (all mod cons including hydronic heating & robovac) in one of Melbourne's loveliest heritage streets, close to parks, beach & cafés. 20 mins by tram from CBD or Fed Square & galleries.

Two elderly, affectionate rescued dogs (12 & 14yo); three middle-aged low-fuss cats (6 - 9yo); plus up to 3 foster-cats; all need a genuine animal-lover to care for them for 4 days (4 nights) while their Guardian visits the snow for a week. Their regular sitter will stay the first 3 days/nights, ready for handover early-evening of Wed 13th Aug. She can provide a reference. Please note: the online reference regarding 'Luther' is for a house-sit I arranged at a rural property, for a large dog my whose rescue I facilitated. So: not my house and not my dog.

Each day the two clever & characterful medium-size hounds require up to an hour's walk together, mainly for mental stimulation, plus three quick naturestrip visits for toiletting. They walk slowly, on harness, requiring plenty of patience for lots of sniffing.

This house-sit will suit someone who genuinely enjoys animal company & would enjoy a few relaxed days taking in the natural beauty, heritage architecture and friendly atmosphere of Albert Park and its inner-city surrounds. Ideally suiting a retiree or someone who works from home, if you do need to work long hours, on one or two days, that can be accommodated.

Seeking only a non-smoker & light drinker; and please don't apply if you're really seeking a paid position; or will pull-out if offered one elsewhere. Honesty and kindness will be reciprocated.

If you truly love and empathise with animals & enjoy a calming, comfortable home, this is the house-sit for you... Read more...
