Assignment Requirements

We are looking for someone who can look after our dogs for 3 nights while we are away for a short trip. They are easy to look after and love having someone around for a cuddle! The main purpose of having someone stay at the house is to look after our dogs who are like our children.

Our people family is a family of 3, and this is how many dogs we have too.

Our home is located in Padstow which is in South-West Sydney and is located on the airport train line, and is about a 15 minute walk from the station.

The house has 2 bedrooms, a craft room and study, and is fully set-up with all your TV viewing needs! We have full service Foxtel, Netflix, Stan, Disney+, Paramount, Apple services (with Chromecast to view on television) and of course wi-fi to make all of this worthwhile. We have a pool (might be a bit cold, but that's up to you). There is a park just up the road with children's play area, exercise equipment and large open areas to enjoy, with a peaceful small creek running through it.

Our home is in a quiet street, with the area across the road fronting on to the local creek, making for minimal noise and little car traffic. The street is also a cul-de-sac, meaning there aren't many passing cars.

We've also got a very large backyard with an area that replicates the Australian bush. It's another perfect spot to enjoy reading a book, or having some quiet time to yourself.

We have 3 dogs (predominately indoor) and 1 cat (outdoor). The main animals that need 'minding' are our 3 indoor dogs - a Newfoundland and our 2 shih tzus. One of the two shih tzus is getting older and is a little bit bossy/precious these days. These 3 are used to having someone around a lot of the time, so it's important that we find someone to look after them of an evening. All of our pets are incredibly friendly and love meeting new people.

If you'd like some more information, please get in touch. We'd really love to hear from you and be keen to have you sit with our furry family.

Thank you!

About the Area

PADSTOW Sydney, New South Wales
Suburb Insights
Padstow settles into a comfortable, unhurried pace, distinct from the city's rush. Mornings here unfold with the murmur of local life, where many residents are out with their dogs along the shaded footpaths leading to Padstow Park. You'll find neighbours nodding greetings, a quiet acknowledgment of shared routines. This established calm provides an ideal backdrop for settling in, allowing a new canine companion to acclimate quickly to a familiar suburban hum. The local precinct near the train station offers a handy cluster of shops and cafes. Grabbing your morning coffee at a spot like 'The Daily Grind' becomes part of the daily rhythm, often coinciding with a trip to the supermarket for household essentials. These short walks are perfect for a solo venture, leaving a contented pet at home, knowing they'll be accustomed to the sounds of the immediate street. The trains passing through are a regular, subtle presence, barely noticed after a day or two. Exploring Padstow's green spaces with your charge is straightforward. Clancy Reserve, with its open fields, provides ample room for a good run, while the tree-lined paths of Watson Road Reserve offer a different kind of stroll. Observing local dog walkers will give you a sense of preferred routes and quiet spots, ensuring your temporary companion enjoys their outings. Evenings typically bring a gentle quiet, making for peaceful nights for both you and any animals in your care, fostering a sense of security in their own home.
