About this house sitting position in Gwandalan

We are looking for a housesitter to look after our border collie, Buddy.

We live at the top of the Central Coast on Lake Macquarie. The house is a modern two-storey home with a large private peaceful back garden. The street is quiet and safe with security cameras (other homes). The suburb has shops, pharmacy, gym, cafe, bakery, post office, mechanic, petrol station, bowling club, etc. You have everything without going out of the suburb if you don't want to. The nearest large shopping centre is 20 minutes away (Lake Haven) with a cinema, etc. The nearest Woolworths/Coles is 10-minutes drive.

The lake is 8 minutes walk from my home. Beaches are close by and the Munmorah State National Park. Within 15 minutes you have beautiful Catherine Hill Bay, Lake Munmorah and Budgewoi. To help with orientation, we are about 50 minutes from Newcastle towards Sydney.

Buddy is a 12-year old border collie. We walk him daily for about 20 minutes, then he runs around the back garden. He is low maintenance with walking and keeping entertained (no medication required). As there is a dog door, Buddy comes inside when he wants to. He is fed twice a day, morning and late afternoon/evening. This gives you lots of time to explore this beautiful part of the world.

Buddy is hesitant at first but loves a pat when he gets to know you. A healthy pooch for his age, who likes company but is independent (he does his own thing), doesn't bark much and likes his food.

We are seeking a reliable house sitter (single or couple) that is experienced with dogs, has endorsements on their profile and is willing to walk Buddy. Buddy slows down when he wants to return home.

I have reviews on this site and another popular housesitting site (attached document).

You will be very comfortable here. A great place to visit for a holiday. Thanks for reading!

“Lisa and her beautiful border collie Buddy both welcomed me into their lovely home. Buddy was no trouble to look after and I felt safe and comfortable. I loved having my top up of pet therapy. Love you Buddy!
