Silver Sands, Western Australia

About this house sitting position in Silver Sands

After our half-lap around Aus, we are looking for someone to house sit for us and our two dogs, Daisy & Milo at our house in Silver Sands, WA. Daisy is a 5yo Cavoodle and Milo is a 6yo Staffy X Kelpie.

We are flying back to NSW on the 16th of May (10pm) and returning on the 20th. You are more than welcome to stay a day either side - We (well, Lauren definitely) will be returning to work either side so you will have the house to yourself.

Our house is a single story, three bedroom, one bathroom 'older' style home, but everything works alright. The kitchen is small ish, but it makes do.

We have a 'smart' TV with Netflix etc.. and top speed internet and a desk if you'd need (if you WFH). We have a (semi-private) spacious yard with an outdoor setting and a couch to enjoy the yard and watching the dogs run around. The house has a small carport you can use if you have a small car. Hoping to get a heater before it gets too cold.

We are walking distance to the ocean and a beautiful beachside walking/bike path that can take you up/down the coastline. 2 minute drive to Coles, Bunnings, Woolies, 5-10ish minutes to Mandurah Forum (large shopping centre). Really central.

They're low maintenance and will just love the ball thrown in the backyard and want your cuddles. Milo loves a snuggle and as it is getting cooler, he will wait to climb under the covers and sleep at your feet. Daisy is happy to sleep on your feet at the foot of the bed.

Daisy has been deemed 'overweight' by the vet (How rude!) and is on a diet, so they only need dry bickies at night (and whatever scraps are leftover from your dinner, shh, don't tell the vet).

Milo can be reactive on walks so I avoid greeting other dogs when walking him, or I just throw the ball for them in the yard. As we aren't gone for long, totally happy if you only want to play with them in the yard. Daisy may bug you for this, she will get you her ball and be persistent.

We really just need someone here who will not leave them alone overnight. If they are, they fret and will dig holes and run away (not if you go out to dinner, but the entire night). You are so welcome to go out for long days, and dinners as they are totally fine with this, they just need the company at night time otherwise they get anxious and break out.

I will upload photos once of the house I'm home from work :) Read more...
