Chapman, Australian Capital Territory

About this house sitting position in Chapman

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. Inverter Aircon/heater, wood fired combustion heater for cold Canberra winters, lock up garage. Wifi, easy to maintain small garden to name a few of the home comforts for you to enjoy.
We own an adorable 6 yo Welsh Terrier called "Kipper". He has a beautiful temperament, loves cuddles, walks, and games. He is an indoor pooch so please don't 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/den at night 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 love and attention, do a daily poop patrol, check for mail, hand water the odd plant 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 couples experienced with dogs who are mature aged, semi/retired, or work remotely from home and 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, have family to visit but prefer own place.

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