Brighton, South Australia

About this house sitting position in Brighton

We are looking for a non-smoking, quiet single or couple to look after our 2 dogs and our house while we are away.
Ideally you are on holidays or can work from home or are retired as our 2 dogs don't cope well being left all day.

We have a lovely 2 bedroom + study home in Brighton, 10 minutes walk to the beach, 10 minutes to the Jetty Rd precinct, and close by to the trio of lush ovals that is the Brighton Sports complex. The house has good internet, a lovely well-equipped kitchen, cosy lounge room, with all the streaming services on the tv, and a leafy garden.

Our 2 dogs are - a 13yo German Shepherd girl Lena & a 11yo dapple short-haired Dachshund boy Nanaimo.

The dogs are very much inside dogs, and love to have company (hence someone who can be at home for the most part) They are pretty low maintenance & don't need much more than company. They have a few health complications, and as such it is best that for this short housesit they don't have any walks (Lena has a torn ACL in her leg that is quite unstable, so walking her requires a high level of vigilance that we just wouldn't ask of anyone else.)

They both have medication that they take with their meals. Lena the GSD takes her meds down the throat - she takes them for anxiety, arthritis, and her torn ACL, while Nanaimo the Dachshund is on meds for his skin allergies and he eats it straight from his bowl of food.

We both work from home, so the dogs are very used to having our company most of the time, and they are both very much inside dogs. We leave them inside when we go out, and they are normally ok for a maximum of 4-5 hours, so ideally we'd be looking for someone who can be at home and be around for the majority of the time. They snooze and snore, and just like the company. Read more...
