Rivervale, Western Australia

About this house sitting position in Rivervale

We live in a two bedroom apartment on the ground floor of a gated apartment complex. The complex includes a pool, gym and sometimes functional sauna. We are less than a minute away from swan river with a gorgeous walk through park/woodlands to the nearby Ascot Marina.

We require someone to mind our dog while we go back to Dublin to visit family for a couple of weeks. You will have access to the spare room, the main bathroom, kitchen and living room as well as our lovely courtyard.

Our puppy, Ponyo, will be six months when we leave. She is mostly well behaved but currently still has accidents at night as she sleeps in our room and does not always tell us when she needs to toilet. She is very sweet but quite needy so cannot be left alone for any longer than half an hour as she will cry incesscantly.

Our next door neighbour loves to mind her when he is not working so if you do decide to mind her he may be able to give you some respite from being a surrogate puppy parent. We think it would be best if a couple or pair of friends were to mind her due to her needy nature but are open to all offers.

She gets a 3.5km walk from our home to the Marina every day and this seems to be necessary to burn off her energy. She walks really well and loves to play with other dogs. I usually walk her off the lead for most of our morning stroll but would recommend keeping her on the lead until you've built up trust with her. Read more...
