About this house sitting position in CHELSEA

HOUSE/ PET SIT IN RETURN FOR ACCOMMODATION. We have a 2-bedroom unit; however, 1 bedroom is used for the office. The unit is open and light. We have the usual appliances, internet and streaming services.
Jasmine, palms and greenery surround the enclosed courtyard with a spa. The area also has an open fireplace and BBQ. There is also a small lawn area, with a surrounding garden, which requires very little maintenance. The property is enclosed for privacy and has a gate entrance that can be locked for security. There is a watering system for the majority of the garden, however some plants will need to be watered with the hose and cared for by hand. We are 400 metres from beautiful Chelsea beach. We are also a short walk to surrounding parks, including Bicentennial Park, bike trails, walking trails, a supermarket, shops, a hotel and restaurants. The train station and buses are about 300 metres away. Large shopping centres and cinemas are a short train or car ride away. You would be caring for our gorgeous 16 year old Jack Russell cross, Charlie. She requires daily medication for mild anxiety, now that she is a senior. Otherwise, she is very low maintenance, playful and affectionate and tends to sleep most of the day. She enjoys a short walk most days. We have a dog pram that we take with us for when she has run out of energy. She particularly loves a walk on the beach early in the morning; however, if it's too hot, too cold or rainy, she is rather precious and would prefer to stay inside. She loves humans and wants to be where you are. She is definitely a house dog and needs to sleep in her own bed, in the bedroom with you. She loves to sunbake in the window. If you are out, she is perfectly comfortable being left at home for short periods. We are looking for someone who works from home, is retired, or is at home most of the time, as she will become anxious if left for too long. This position would suit a couple or a single person. Families with children or other pets won't be suitable. We look forward to meeting you and your replies. Read more...

5 stars stars
“Thank you so much for your kind words, Lyn and Damien! It was truly a pleasure taking care of Charlie and your home. I could tell how much you both love her, and I'm glad I could provide her with the comfort and attention she needed. It was really rewarding to see her sweet personality, even with her dementia. I'm so pleased to hear you came home to a clean house - that's always important to me. I'd be honoured to sit for you again anytime you need!”

“Lyn and Damien have a beautiful and comfortable home and were extremely welcoming and kind. The house was spotless when we arrived and a particular highlight is the gorgeous outdoor area and outdoor bath. Charlie is the most gorgeous dog, just an angel to look after with plenty of energy for walks and also very happy to take it easy and cuddle, the perfect work from home companion. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other sitters and would sit again any time ”
