About this house sitting position in Hawthorndene

Our renovated 3 bedroom family home is on a large suburban block in the foothills just South of Adelaide, near Belair National Park. Our dog Rusty is a very friendly and social 9 year old large chocolate lab cross who loves walks and company. We also have 2 chooks and 2 beehives. We are located 10 minutes walk from Blackwood train station & shops (supermarkets, cafes, local shops & services). Marion shopping centre is just down the hill, where you will find everything else! Only 20 minutes drive to the city but it feels like you're further away with large blocks, trees & plenty of wildlife. It's only a 20 minute drive to Brighton beach as well, so if you love the outdoors and variety, this could be the place for you. Our garden will need watering in Summer but that's about it, other than looking after the pets and keeping our home clean & tidy. Non-smokers only please. We are looking for someone able to handle a large, strong, excitable dog, give him lots of love and exercise (morning & evening walks), and preferably be around a fair bit. The chooks are very easy. If you're on holiday or working from home, that would be ideal. If this sounds like you, please let us know. Read more...

“We loved our time at Joy and Jason’s home and Rusty was such a gentle and easy dog to look after. Their home was warm, inviting and communication was excellent and we wouldn’t hesitate to look after Rusty and their home again. Thank you!!”
