About this house sitting position in Cheltenham

We have a cat and a dog that need caring for. The cat is a bit shy but very affectionate once she gets to know you. She is locked in at night to protect wildlife. Our dog is a very affectionate older Staffy/Lab rescue dog. She is very loving but nervous around other dogs, so someone who is experienced with dogs would be ideal.

Our single story house is situated on a largish, well treed block in a cul-de-sac in the golf course area of Cheltenham-Beaumaris in Melbourne. Around us are two golf courses, sports fields and ovals and Cheltenham Park, so there are plenty of lovely areas to walk. The local shopping strip (Sea View) has great coffee shops, chemist, supermarket, etc and is only 12 minutes walk away, with the large Southland shopping centre a 7 minute drive away. Our nearest beach, Ricketts Point, is a 7 minute drive away and we also have a 24/7 dog beach, which is great for walking the dog.

Our house is spacious and comfortable with reverse cycle heating and cooling, and unlimited Internet. The home office has a sit-stand desk and choice of saddle or regular chair and has a nice view onto the garden.

Happy to discuss further if you are interested.

Reviews for Judy & Derek (5 reviews)

5 stars stars
“My partner, Narelle and I house sat for Judy and Derek and would happily recommend. Judy and Derek were welcoming, transparent and communicative. They left a detailed house hold manual and were always timely with returning messages. Their senior Staffy Lab and cat were a delight to care for. The house was clean and spacious with a low maintenance backyard. ”
