About this house sitting position in CHELSEA HEIGHTS

Our names are Jen and Sam. We live in a 3 bedroom + 1 bathroom with a sunny courtyard and wrap around garden. There will be 2 bedrooms available for use for our housesitter, one with a king bed and the other with a queen. There is also a large converted garage room which can be used as an office or separate living space. We are a 5min drive or 30min walk to Chelsea beach, shops and train station and have a great location of local shops - cafe, Thai restaurant, Pizza, IGA, Dr and Pharmacy just a few minutes walk away as well.

We have a beautiful 2 year old black cocker spaniel named Bonnie who is our fur baby. Bonnie loves people, pats, games of tug with her toys, trips to the dog park, the beach and most of all, food! Bon generally gets on well with other dogs and enjoys a fun tussle when she meets other pups that are keen to play, but is also happy keeping her space if needed. Bon is used to both her Mum and Dad and her baby (human) sister being around every day and will love every minute that you're home. She is practiced at alone time and can be by herself for up to 6 hours (especially if you set up a few kibble toys and a licky mat) but would do best with a sitter who spends lots of time around the house rather than being regularly out for long periods. We would prefer a house sitter without pets as whilst Bon loves other dogs, sharing her home with one especially while her parents are away might be a bit much for her.

We are going overseas on the 11/12/26 and will return in mid-late Jan (date tbc). We would ideally like someone for the entire period, but have family who can assist if we find the right match for the majority of the time. Jen's Mum also lives close by and is happy to be in contact with whoever is house sitting and take Bon sometimes for a walk or a night/weekend.

We would also love to arrange a meet and greet ahead of our trip with whoever we book to house sit so we know Bonnie feels comfortable with them. If this sounds like a good stay for you then we look forward to hearing from you :)

Reviews for Jennifer (1 review)

5 stars stars
“Bonnie was very intelligent, the smartest dog we've ever met, and she has a really funny personality and character. She'll let you know if she wants something, especially when she's after food, and she loves playing with her toys—she's a true sweetheart. We definitely recommend that Sam and Jen are a lovely couple who communicate well and understand their instructions. Everything we needed to know about Bonnie was clear. Thanks for having us in your home; we really did have an awesome time and look forward to coming back again in the future.”
