About this house sitting position in Beaumaris

Hello!
We have a spacious three bedroom modern home with a small private garden which contains an entertainment deck, BBQ and hot tub.
It really feels a little upside down: the kitchen / diner / lounge room are upstairs and the guest rooms, laundry, and TV area are downstairs. We have a lot of pot plants around the house.
We are close to a great beach (and dog beach), and very close to a great Thai restaurant, Indian restaurant and fish and chips! Couldn't be better. We also have a lovely cafe for coffee and breakfasts (and lunch).
We have two dogs, both rescues, and come with their own little idiosyncrasies.
Charlie, our Borador (Labrador / Border Collie) is 5, we've had him 18 months. He is terrified of missing out on human company, food and games (nickname FOMO). He has to be part of everything going on. He's so very gentle and sweet (and stubborn) but can get overwhelmed when there are too many yappy dogs around him. Then he can get a little nippy. Charlie loves long walks along the beach but can pull on the lead, he's too strong for me as I have a torn shoulder tendon which pre-dates his arrival!
Bella, our Jackhuahua (Jack Russell / Chihuahua) is 15, sleeps most of the day in her bed. She loves the sunshine and will lay in it until she cooks. She's doesn't bark much, is deaf and her sight isn't great. She doesn't like Charlie but she puts up with him as he barges in when she's getting some fuss. Bella enjoys a walk into Black Rock and back but not much further and on most days just enjoys a sniff around the block.
We are looking for house sitters from mid December to early January. Nothing is booked yet (have you seen the price of flights to the UK?!!). It may be that Steve (my husband) will go earlier. I will need help to manage Charlie until I leave so I'm thinking of a cross over period.
I envisage that the house- sitters will look after both dogs at this stage.
Our garden is mostly covered by a timed sprinkler system and needs little maintenance but there are a few tubs and trees that would enjoy a water once a week.
If you enjoy eating out in the garden, the covered decking area has a BBQ and the small balcony/verandah upstairs has another! Read more...
