Alderley, Queensland

About this house sitting position in ALDERLEY

Seeking a caring person 30+ who loves animals and especially loves and understands large dogs. I have a gentle 10-year-old greyhound, and a young, boisterous cattle dog, an old blind duck, and 1 aged cockatiel.

High-set, spacious house in leafy suburb. There are nine external steps.

Located within a few minutes' walk of buses, trains, Coles, restaurants, cafes and parks.

Geoffrey is a senior greyhound who needs to be walked in the cooler times of the day. Around 20 mins is fine. He cannot be allowed to exercise (including running in the yard) after eating - this can be fatal.

Felix is a younger cattle dog who is affectionate and smart. He is walked with a muzzle on. He's never bitten but he will nip out of fear if a bike, noisy scooter, etc comes too close, or if a dog surprises him from behind. I walk him at quieter times of the day (not peak dog walking times in the neighbourhood).

Ms Duck requires feeding twice a day, and access to her pond when possible (without dogs in the yard).

Ms Grey requires changes in water and food daily, and the paper in the bottom of her cage needs changing about once a week.

The front and back yards will need mowing, and fallen branches etc picked up.

The downstairs is prone to puddles after heavy rains (do not need cleaning up but best to be aware that this happens). It is used only to store my car and for the washing machine.

I will discuss possible actions (such as moving my car to higher ground at the top of the street) if there is another adverse weather event such as occurred with the 2022 floods. Read more...
