About this house sitting position in LOWER PLENTY;VIC

Hi, We need a home-sitter to care for our dog, 'Cobie' at home, while we walk the Camino in Spain.
Cobie is nearly 9-years old (border-collie) and likes a short walk and a bit of mental stimulation, "Get the ..." "Where is ...?" She has a big backyard and access to the garage for shelter. She sleeps inside at night, and would like company if there are bad thunderstorms. We would prefer if someone can work from home.

Cobie thinks she is a young dog, but she really only needs gentle walks (not chasing balls/frisbees too much). She loves swimming in the pool if it's hot, or after a walk.

The home-sitter would have the guest bedroom and full access to the house (inside spa bath, outside pool, tennis court, out-door sunroom, and a large garden). When it is windy, you'll need to check the skimmer basket in the pool. if it is hot, some hanging baskets would like a drink. We have external security cameras, but can disarm these easily while you stay, if you prefer. Thank You.

“Great sit at Shani and Richard’s beautiful “home among the gumtrees”. They are very lovely people and the property was peaceful, well-kept and had everything to feel comfortable. Cobie, their delightful and very intelligent border collie is full of personality, always keen for a walk or a game and their cats George and Lady were relaxed, affectionate and easy company. Clear instructions. communication and just few straight forward maintenance tasks to do. I felt very welcomed would happily help again! ”

“My pup and I had a very comfortable stay at Shani's place, and taking care of Cobie, Lady, George and the household was very easy. Highly recommended!”

Thanks Roxana, We loved having you here too, and the house was immaculately clean and tidy. Cobie and cats were very happy when we arrived and clearly well cared for. We loved how gentle and serene you were with Cobie. And you greeted her and gave her the best of care. We loved receiving the text updates for the week we were in Perth too. Thanks again, S and R

“I had the best time at Shani & Richard’s lovely home. It’s surrounded by beautiful gardens and is so very peaceful. Lady & George are very sweet and affectionate cats who love nothing better than a nap on your lap. They took Cobie with them this time but if I’m lucky enough to sit for them again I hope I can look after her as well. An excellent sit!”
