About this house sitting position in Portarlington

Hello! We are a retired couple planning an overseas holiday. Our 3 year old red heeler cross ‘Scout’ and his accomplice, our 18 year old Bengal cross Siamese‘Eddy’ will need looking after. Eddy does his own thing, just wants food as often as he can talk you into it. Scout wants company, a walk on the beach, run at the dog park, your company and two meals a day.
Our home is a renovated 60s beach house, large deck area with built in bbq and pizza oven, large table and sofa, outdoor heating and fan. The house has 2 bedroom and study (Scouts room) , dining and lounge, tv with all the stations, gas fire that warms the whole house, fans in all rooms. We have a newly renovated kitchen, coffee makers, dishwasher etc
At the end of our street you will find the Bay, a lovely walking trail along the beach and Portarlington’s Main Street with the Grand Hotel, great shops, restaurants and wine bars.
Take a google look at the Bellarine Peninsula and see what a great location it is. We have a ferry service to Melbourne daily, and only 30minutes into Geelong.

“Thanks again Jenni and Mark … second time around even better than the first! Both of you very organised, easy and helpful to deal with again and Scout is just a champion dog. Glad the holiday worked so well. ”

“Jenni and Mark were great to deal with as they were organised and communication was easy and clear - they were both very welcoming. Their home was equipped with all that one needs and the garden was easy and low maintenance. Scout is a gorgeous gentle and calm dog who was no trouble at all, attentive and affectionate. Enjoyable experience in the beautiful Bellarine peninsula! ”

“Dear Jenni and Mark. Thank you for your wonderful review ? We absolutely loved our Pet and housesit. We found your home very cozy ? Both Scout and Eddie were such a delight to look after. Scout and our Jackapoo, played for hours running around the whole house and down at the park. Eddie the cat took a couple of days to come around to us, but we soon got to understand his lovely quirky nature. Jenni and Mark, you live in such a beautiful town. Walking distance to woolies, cafes and several other shops. The gorgeous port is only a five minute walk away, with magnificent views across Port Phillip Bay. We ventured out to lots of towns and beaches, that were close by. Jenni and Mark are a very easy going couple. If we were living closer, we would have no hesitation to housesit again. Cheers Jan and Steve ”
