Morangup, Western Australia

About this house sitting position in Morangup

Large Rural home, with Granny Flat, on 25 acres.
***Two inside/outside dogs (2 small dogs).
***Four Beehives with Bee pond.
Requirements: Feed, water, walk & supervise dogs. Check level of Beepond weekly.

We live on a 25 acre Rural property which is about 45 mins from Midland (towards Toodyay, which is 25 mins NE of Morangup). It is a very large comfortable home, & our Sitter/s will be set up in the Granny flat for the duration. It is 2 bedroom, King bed, 1 double & 1 single bed, with a private bathroom.

We have 2 inside dogs & unfortunately they are both very spoilt!

We are hoping to find the right people/person who can assist us by staying here (set up in the 2 Bedroom Granny Flat) while I am away working in NZ for three - Four months, & Mick is away at work, FIFO offshore. We thought it would be easier to engage a person for the whole of the period that I am away, so my Husband can come & go on his work Rosters, rather than trying to engage a person for each swing.

Dates:

* From Mon 5th Oct through to Sun 17th January

The actual Dares that my Husband will not be on-site are:
- 5th Oct to 29th Oct, &
- 23rd Nov to 17th Dec
- Possibly for a few days around Xmas/New Year, if he flies over to see me (TBA)

We thought it might be easier if we offered the accommodation for the whole time period, so our Sitters can choose to come & go, or stay permanently for the duration. Whatever suits them, as long as they are here to cover Mick's absences.

Dog 1 Details:

"Yolandi", 9yr old Hermaphrodite French Bulldog. She identifies as female. She is in good health, well & active. She is extremely friendly & accepting of all humans, is a total lapdog who loves to be constantly snuggled.
(**Special needs - She needs to have her bottom wiped with baby wipes after she poops)

Dog 2 Details:

"Joiker" (pronounced Yoiker), 3yr old Chion (Chihuahua X Papillon). Very active, healthy & sweet, however it does take him some time to accept new people.
Until he has had time to get to know you, he will bark, & possibly growl if rushed or approached without warning. If he is given time to get to know you & allowed to make the first approach, he settles well & usually becomes quite accepting, friendly, & affectionate. The relationship just needs to be on his terms.
(**Special needs - If he is suddenly grabbed, picked up, or snuck up on, he could get frightened & growl. Sometimes he does poop in the house, near the main toilet)

Habits:

They are both fed once per day in the afternoon between (3:30 - 4:00).

Morning walk about 8:00, &

Afternoon walk about 5:00

The house has a lockable doggy door, so they come in & out at their leisure.
However, we lock the doggy door closed whenever we move the car in or out of the driveway/yard, AS NEITHER OF THEM HAVE ANY CAR SENSE OR RESPECT FOR VEHICLES.

They WILL run in front of the car & expect you to stop for them & put them in with you.....they WILL NOT get out of the way!! This is always an issue with visitors or people coming/going, so we lock them in house any time vehicles are moving in or out of the yard!!!
