About this house sitting position in Coromandel Valley
We live in a lovely quiet suburb in the foothills of Adelaide. We have a family home with a large garden.
Ideally, we'd like someone local who would be interested in multiple stays as we go away quite regularly and it's nice if the animals can get used to someone (and someone who can get used them) rather than different people each time.
We are looking for someone to help look after our 2 golden retrievers and 3 cats.
Duties include daily feeding (twice daily for the dogs), lots of pats and cuddles, and litter duties for the cats.
Our dogs are 14 and 12 years old, so daily walking is not required, but the occasional on-leash visit to the park next door would be loved by the dogs if you're up to it. Although both trained, they can pull on the leash initially, so a strong arm may be required. The older dog is deaf so please do not let them off the leash outside of their yard.
The cats are all rescues from the RSPCA and all friendly, although a couple of them may be shy to start with.
The photos we have: Charlie and Jasper (dogs), Charlie (dog), Gypsy (fluffy cat), Stripes (ginger cat), Bubblegum (white and grey cat).
We also ask that you keep the house tidy whilst you're there. The garden may need some watering depending on rainfall, but otherwise gardening is not required. If you're a keen gardener, you are welcome to potter if you wish. We have a few fruit trees including peach, plum, nectarine, cherry, lemon, mandarin and pomegranate (some are still young and haven't had much fruit), plus strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. You are welcome to pick any fruit which are ready whilst you're in the house.
Non-smokers please. Unfortunately, and despite the size of the yard, it's not suitable for caravans. Read more...
