About this house sitting position in Hornsby Heights
We have a 4 bedroom home with a yard which would need mowing only once every few weeks. Garden maintenance would be sweeping leaves and maybe trimming hedges. Over our back fence is the Berowra Valley National Park and it is a quiet and peaceful home and neighbourhood. But we are only 10 mins by car and 20 mins by bus to everything in Hornsby. The pool is closed down in winter and we have a professional come to maintain it. Parts of the house that are not used will not need to be cleaned (such as unused bedrooms and bathrooms) but the rest needs to be kept clean and tidy. It is important to us to keep the house safe, clean and tidy but our priority is looking after our two Huskies, Leo (red) and Laika (white). They get stressed and anxious in kennels. Or maybe we are stressed and anxious to leave them there...They are both 6 years old and have a set routine that they need to maintain to feel comfortable. Short walk in the morning and longer walk in the afternoon . Chicken for breakfast and dried food for dinner. Put to bed around 8.30 - 9pm. They love cuddles and chasings with us in the yard. We both work full time (lawyer and engineer/snr manager) so they are used to being alone together on most weekdays, but love being with us at home on weekends, holidays or any other time. So went don't need someone home with them all day every day. They have their own lounge inside when you are home and don't need entertaining. Aside from their walks they like chasing each other round the yard and then sleeping most of the day. They prefer to be where we are as they are part of the family. They pull a bit when walking (so excited) and can be walked together or separately. We usually walk them between 2km - 5km per day in the afternoon and shorter in the morning (more of a wake up and stretch the paws). Laika can be good to go jogging with, but Leo stops every few minutes to check the 'news' so he is the easier one just for a slower walk. Read more...
