Shoalwater, Western Australia

About this house sitting position in Shoalwater

We are looking for reliable sitters (ideally a couple) from the 12/13th of April to the 30th of April to look after our 2 dogs and home.
The Dogs:
The stars of the show are our two dogs, Luna (wolfhound cross) and Aura (Irish wolfhound). They are gentle giants who love a cuddle and are very easy-going around the house. They are relaxed and well behaved. Luna is 2 and Aura is 1. I will warn you, Aura will jump at any opportunity to sit on you – she thinks she is a teddy bear!!
They do require a daily walk at a minimum and while they are sweethearts, they can be overzealous on the lead, so we are looking for confident sitters who are physically capable of handling two large dogs on their walks.
Home Office & Amenities:
Remote Workers Welcome: We have high-speed internet and a fully equipped home office. This includes a standing desk and dual screens, which you are more than welcome to use.
Privacy & Security: The property is secured by an electric gate and security cameras. We understand the importance of privacy, so the cameras can be decommissioned during your stay if you prefer.
Accommodation: You have the choice of a spare bedroom with a queen bed or, if you are traveling in a caravan, we have space in the driveway with access to PowerPoints. Our block is quite large.
Disclaimer:
Our backyard is currently under a little bit construction. We are in the midst of replacing a large shed at the back. While we thought it would be done by the time we leave, in true renovation form, we had delays so contractors (at this stage) will be on-site starting April 22nd for a few days to erect the shed. If you are in a caravan, it may require relocation to the front lawn for a few days.
Access: Ideally be able to be at home during this period to let them into the secured yard.
Noise: Please be mindful of some construction noise during this period if you are working from home.
The Ideal Sitter:
Experienced with large dog breeds.
Happy to manage gate access for contractors for a few days.
Pre-Trip Meeting: We would love for our chosen sitter to visit the house prior to our departure. This will allow us to run through feeding routines, walking tips, and general house "how-tos" so you feel completely comfortable.
How to Apply:
If you’re interested in a "working holiday" with two gentle giants, please contact us for more details! We’re happy to have a chat or a walkthrough to see if we’re a good fit. Read more...
