About this house sitting position in Mona Vale

We are looking for a sitter for our beautiful dog and rescue pup. Our English spaniel Dexter, is 11 years old. He can bark occasionally at loud noises but is generally chilled out and sleeps a lot.

We got a gorgeous little rescue pup (we don't know her breed) last November. Indie will be 9 months old in April and is toilet trained. She is bouncy and excitable when she is hungry or tired, and does like to jump up at visitors so we sometimes pop her in her crate. She is easy to train though, she will do anything for a treat. Otherwise she just sleeps. Dexter tolerates her and she has learned manners from him! Indie also attends obedience classes which are helping her to become a well behaved grown up dog.


Other than loving them and keeping them safe, plus taking them on 20-30 minute lead walks twice a day, we need someone who will not leave Dexter and Indie for more than 4- 4.5 hours at a time. They are used to having us home quite a lot- they don't suffer separation anxiety when we go out, they just sleep , but they're inside dogs and need regular toilet breaks (we do have people that can come in a few times if you wanted to go out for longer than 4.5 hours sometimes so you would have the opportunity to explore the area or Sydney further if you needed).

We live in the Northern Beaches of Sydney, walking distance of our local town centre, bay and beach. It’s a beautiful part of the world,- we have 14 beaches within 15 minutes drive! The Bline bus takes you to the city in approx 50 mins and runs every 5-8 minutes. Driving to the city takes between 35 m and 1 hour, depending on the time of day. The Keoride minibuses take you to local beaches and the shopping centre for the price of a bus.

Our house is big, clean and comfortable. 2 of the bathrooms and the laundry are newly renovated as are a few bedrooms. The rest is functional but 30 years old now. We have a heated pool and spa for your use and a large fenced yard. Your bedroom, bathroom and the laundry are all fully renovated. The house has new appliances including a dishwasher and ducted aircon / heating.

We are looking for ideally a single mature lady as Dexter is most comfortable with women. They will be happiest and most relaxed in a quiet home. A young couple would also work, (occasionally Dexter is scared of older men). No one with their own pets or kids, sorry and no one without verified reviews or references for dog sitting from elsewhere.

You can stay longer to explore the area as we have a separate 1 bed apt within our home, you are welcome to stay either before or after. Read more...
