House sitting in Burwood, Melbourne, with 3 sensational dogs. I have 2 x 3-year old Golden Retrievers; and 1 x 12-year old Standard Long-Haired Dachshund. I am asking that the house sitter come to stay the day before I leave to show the ropes and go through all feeding. I will have pre-prepared all of their food (home-made). Hopefully, we will have already had opportunties to meet each other, the dogs and go over house information.

The dogs are fed 2 x daily, breakfast and dinner. Roughly, their meal times are 7.30am-9am- it really doesn't matter, they will fit in with the sitter's times; and dinner is anytime after 6pm that suits. I have a large backyard, so if the sitter is not confident to walk them, it is OK. The dogs generally have free reign through the house and outside and sleep inside- I would go over that with the approved sitter. If the dog sitter is confident to walk them, they MUST be walked separately, as they are strong dogs and can become excited. Both of the Goldies are at low-intermediate level in obedience training. Walking MUST be on a leash. If the sitter is confident and happy to walk them, it is also OK to rotate them., e.g., although I walk them all separately daily (takes me about 2 hours), it would be fine to walk 1 per day, for about half-an-hour- and as I said, rotate them.

My Dachshund also requires eye drops daily.

No grooming is required, they will have had their grooming session before I leave (and look sensational!). I would require WhatsAp contact while I am away- just to be able check in and make sure all is well.

While this is only a short business trip, I am planning on going to Indonesia in early June 2026, which would be for 2 weeks. After that, it is the same per year: 1 x 1 week business trip, and another 2 week holiday, every year.

My car would be in the garage while I am away and access is not included. There is space for your own car, on the property.

Access to the whole house, except my onsite Healing room.

My dogs are very happy, friendly and empathic, and the right person is essential.

Hoping to meet the right person,

Sincerely,

Donna Robson
