About this house sitting position in Bentleigh East
We have a 3 bedroom home in Bentleigh East. A backyard with a basketball hoop, and it is fully fenced for the doggies. Very modern home with great kitchen, butler pantry and lots of space. You would be staying in the spare bedroom which has a large bathroom right next to it. Can provide more photos of the home upon request.
Gigi and Charles are our two doggies. Charles is a Maltese Shi tzu and Gigi is a Maltese Terrier. Both are rescues. Gigi came from a hoarder home with 35 other dogs, so she is still adjusting to normal life. She is extremely gentle, but is on anti anxiety medication that would need to be given daily. It's just pills hidden in soft food but need someone comfortable doing this. She has extremely good recall and is loves people. For the first day when we leave, she can be a bit upset but adjusts quickly.
Charles is an old man and we got him when he was a bit older, so has been more difficult to train. He also loves people but takes a little while to gain trust. He can react if he's grabbed suddenly, or if strangers try to pick him up. After treats and meals he will love you and snuggle on your lap on the couch. For this reason we will ask any applicants if they're happy to do a meet and greet, just so he doesn't view you as a stranger. Will outline any more important details about the dogs to any applicants.
Both dogs don't love to be left home alone for a long period of time, so ideally someone who is happy to bring them on any summer adventures would be great. If you are hoping to bring a dog, we would have to do a meet and greet and see if they get along first. Both are great with other dogs, but can be over excited in their play. Read more...
