About this house sitting position in Dunlop

Hello,

My hubby and I (and 2 kids) are looking for a house and pet sitter to take care of our home/garden, our dog Milo and suburban chooks over the Easter holidays (2 - 12 April 2026).

We live in beautiful Canberra with lovely walks and Brindabella views practically on our doorstep.

Our dog Milo is a Spookalier (a mix between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Cocker Spaniel and Toy Poodle). He's an inside dog with access to the backyard via a doggy door. He loves to be walked. Our chickens need minimal care - let them out into the run during the day and lock up at night, collect and enjoy some of their beautiful fresh eggs.

Our garden is still getting established so requires watering particularly in the heat.

We also have a heated magnesium plunge pool for your enjoyment during those summer days and nights. The pool shouldn't need any maintenance for the duration of the housesit.

Overall, we're looking for a sitter that takes good care of our animals, keeps our home safe and secure, stays in touch such as sending updates or photos, and returns the house as left.

If this sounds of interest, we'd love to hear from you.

Cheers,
Alyce (and Rob)

“Awesome house sitting! Milo is the sweetest dog I care for in 3 months, always keen for a quick walk, play in the garden or for a cuddle. He just love to have company all day long ? The house is lovely and really cosy (the bed is amazing!). I felt at home immediately. There's multiple walks all around with really nice views especially at sunset. Woolies at 7min by foot. Gym at 15min by bus. Alyce and his partner were quite relax and accommodating (thanks again for the lift). I recommend without hesitation! ?”

“This was our first ‘official’ house sit and it could not have been any better. Lovely couple with a young family, and their dog Milo was gorgeous. Milo is easy to care for and loves attention. The chooks kept to themselves pretty much ? Easy walk to shops and bus stop. Short drive to major shopping centre. Well cared for home in a quiet neighborhood. Would recommend this house/ pet sit to anyone.”

Jenni and Greg were wonderful house sitters! Communication was fantastic and they took such great care of our home and animals. They even bathed our dog Milo, and prepped a meal for our return, which was so thoughtful and kind. Our house was spotless when we returned. Jenni and Greg are a lovely, friendly and honest couple who I would not hesitate to recommend to others. Thank you Jenni and Greg! Such a pleasure to meet you and I hope we can get you back sitting for us again at some stage in the future.
