About this house sitting position in CLEVELAND
I live in Cleveland, am a retired single pensioner, 68yo. For some years I had been saving and planned to hire a motorhome and do some travelling, mainly down south as I am from Victoria. I had planned to head off in April 2020 till a certain little bug finished that. Planned again in October - again this got the chop. So now trying for 3rd time - and sticking this side of the border. I had originally planned to take my little dog, Bella (Jack Russell), but reluctantly I feel the constant changing may be too much for her, and she would be happier and more content in her our familiar surroundings, and routine. Had I gone 12 month ago, all would have been fine, but in June last year, she was badly attacked by another bigger dog, and this really has slowed her down. Plus she is now 14. As much as I would love her to come with me, I feel the constant changes, and restrictions, plus having to be tied up all time or restricted to very small yards, will be just too much for her. She is a rescue dog I got when she was 7yo, after a pretty hard early life. She still has some bad memories, and I have spent considerable time and patience to ensure she is now the gently, obedient, quiet and loving little dog that she is. Bella is basically an outside dog, sleeps outside. She is not a lap dog, happy to do her own thing, happier by herself. I am particular about her diet - she only eats 'human food' (if a human can't eat it, she doesn't). All food will be provided for her. Very rare dog - she does not bark (trained). One warning though - she still insists on her daily walk around 4.00pm onwards! Walks are now slower, and shorter, but you will be in trouble if you don't go for a walk!
So I am looking for someone to mind my humble little abode & dog. My house is small, tidy, and comfortable (well, for me it is). If you are looking for a large mansion on the beach, I can't help. I DO live near to the coast - some great walks, nice little beach areas. Close to 3 shopping areas, local shops within a comfortable walking distance. I am blessed with really good neighbors, close to walking areas and parks. Great for cycling (ladies cruiser available for use) - very flat area. I have a 6' colorbond fence, ensuring privacy, and very safe yard for Bella - and sitter. I have a small pool, which is easy to maintain. Covered outdoor patio. Lounge & main bedroom have air con, wi-fi available, no lawn mowing required (already arranged), no real garden to maintain - yard is dog friendly.
Requirements for sit -
- sitter to reside in Qld. Preferably able to do a 'pre visit'. Sorry - I cannot take the chance of interstate sitters being hit with travel restrictions.
- house not suitable for children
- seeking retired couple/person (not going off to work)
- house/area not suitable for caravan or motor home (on street parking only - but safe area)
- no pets with sitter
Many more things to discuss, but perhaps this initial contact might see if you are interested. I am close to terminals for ferry to Islands, close to hospital, rail link direct to city, restaurant precincts. Many thanks. Read more...
