Thornleigh, New South Wales

About this house sitting position in Thornleigh

We are looking for an animal lover, who is particularly confident with dogs to look after our 1 dog and 2 cats.
We have a 1970's two storey family house on a sloping block with a quiet bush outlook with pool. The main living area is upstairs, and there is a guest room with sofa bed on that level. There are balconies around the house, including a covered entertaining area. There is gas heating and cooktop, and reverse cycle air conditioning. We have Optus Fetch TV, Netflix and Wifi with unlimited broadband that can be used by house sitter. The house is a 10 minute walk to Thornleigh shops (Woolworths), and 10 to 15 minutes to Thornleigh Train station.
We have a young jack russell/fox terrier who is 1 year old. He is very active and gets very hyped up when people come round, doing zoomies everywhere. He is nervous of some people and dogs. He is much easier to handle if he gets a couple of good walks and a play in backyard with football. We also have two cats who live inside, but have access to the balconies which are fitted with cat netting to keep them safe. They are shy of strangers and will at first run away and hide until they are used to you.
The cats live inside, they would need feeding and cat litter trays would need scooping.on the balcony.
The dog would need to be exercised regularly, preferably at least one long walk and a play in yard per day. He would need feeding/watering, clean up of any mess.
We would also like the mail to be brought in, pot plants watered, and bins to be rolled out when required, also occasionally adding chlorine to the pool and emptying skimmer box. Read more...
