Chapman, Australian Capital Territory

About this house sitting position in Chapman

We have just received a cancellation notice from sitters who had agreed to do this sit so need to re advertise.

We live 12 km from the Canberra city centre where major tourist attractions are in abundance and very close to each other, we're only minutes to the Canberra hospital, the National Arboretum, National Zoo and Aquarium, two major shopping centres and just walking distance to our local shops.
Our spacious spotless non smoking house is tri level (this means stairs ...made from tree logs) so not suitable for the less mobile. Please note our kitchenware is Heavy cast iron ( Le Crueset) so quite difficult to handle if lacking strength to lift and tip and drain into a farmhouse style sink etc. An Inverter Airconditioning for summer and wood combustion stove for winter heating also (but must be experienced to use the latter), lock up garage. Wifi , easy to maintain small garden are a couple of the home comforts for you to enjoy.
We own an adorable 4.5 yo Welsh Terrier called "Kipper". He has a beautiful temperament, loves cuddles, walks, and games. He is an indoor pooch so please do not apply if you plan to turf him outdoors 24/7 the moment you arrive! He is well disciplined (obedience school) and loves visitors. He sleeps and loves camping in his oversized crate at night just outside your door so you don't have to worry about him roaming around the house at night disturbing you.
All we ask of our house sitter is to give Kipper daily exercise, plenty of kind attention, do a daily poop patrol, check for mail but most of all enjoy your time in Canberra. Our house is not set up to cater for children sorry (maybe one day when our first grandchild presents itself).
Our preferred house sitters are those experienced with dogs who are semi/retired, work from home or MATURE aged students who can be home during most of the day as Kipper is used to having regular company . Especially suited to those building/renovating their own home and needing somewhere to stay in the meantime.
NON SMOKERS ONLY PLEASE

We look forward to hearing from you. Read more...
