About this house sitting position in Gowrie

Large home with all home comforts reverse cycle heating and cooling all bathrooms were upgraded recently. We have 1 dog female border collie 10 years old she is very well behaved and will take as much walking as you care to give her. She is also happy to sleep the day away when she has company around the house she is not a fan of being left alone for periods of longer than 6 hours. She was diagnosed with diabetes a year ago , her diabetes is well controlled and stable. She also has limited sight but has adapted incredibly well. I had not mentioned the diabetes when we originally put the ad on as we don't see it being an issue,however recognise that it may be for some sitters. We have adult children who have left the nest and feel this is our time to be able to do some travelling. They would be contactable for advice or support if necessary but I don't foresee this being an issue. We were away for 5 weeks prior to them moving and they coped beautifully. We are also very happy to meet with/ have discussion with potential sitters.
Our home backs onto a reserve and we regularly get Roos visiting early morning and at dusk. 20 mins takes you into the City, and 5 mins to Tuggeranong closest large shopping centre. Canberra is a very easy City to get around/live in,it is also very clean.If you are an outdoor person there are lots of walks that you can enjoy directly from our home no need to take the car. If you are a foodie there are also lots of nice restaurants. Happy to answer any queries you may have. We also have a large garden which we are hoping will be in better order by the time we welcome you to house sit. We have been focusing inside the home with all 3 original bathrooms having been ripped out and updated. We have no expectation that you do any gardening, maybe a little watering nothing else, we want you to enjoy our home and your time with Holly, then maybe you might want to return, she is such a Darling everyone who meets her loves her. Look forward to hearing from you. If you are coming from a distance we are also happy for you to arrive the day before we leave offering the opportunity to talk you through Holly,s care and show you where everything lives etc.

Margaret and Alex
