About this house sitting position in Kenmore Hills
Ian and Alison are a retired couple who like to travel in between their volunteer duties away from home. We would prefer a mature aged couple who are keen on gardening as well as animals. The sitters' room has a double bed and there is a separate bathroom for them. Most occasions, depending on departure and arrival times, we prefer the sitters to join us the day before for a meal and familiarisation, and depart the day after we arrive home for a meal and debrief. We have a manual available which lists such things as neighbourhood and family contacts and household routines.
The house is lowset brick and timber and is in good condition although 37 years old. There is a covered deck adjacent to the swimming pool, and it has outdoor furniture and two bbbqs. The nearest shops are a 15 minute walk away as is public transport - 5 minutes if driving. A bus into the CBD comes every 15 minutes and takes about 30 minutes to the city. The local shops are comprehensive. The neighbours are friendly and helpful. We have been celebrating Christmas with a cul-de-sac party for 35 years, and Australia Day for almost as long. There is a double carport.
Number one responsibility is our aging dog. She requires a short walk each morning, company, and food each evening. If the sitters are away from home, she has her own secure access to the house so she suffers less from separation anxiety. If our neighbour is in town, she is happy to do the 5pm feed if the sitters are delayed.
Next priority is the security of the house. Arrangements will be made for spare keys etc.... Read more...
