Assignment Requirements

My husband and I are in our 40s and work in education and health. We're heading to Sth America to visit my husband's family.

Choclo is a 5 year old (he'll be 6 in September) staffy x beagle. He loves people, food (bananas are number one) and cuddles. We walk him twice a day for about 30 minutes each (more if we have time). He's toilet trained and used to living in an apartment.

We work from home 3 days a week but on the days we're in the office, he's totally fine at home alone.

We have a 2 bedroom apartment. It is spacious and has a separate dining room and laundry. The main bedroom has a king sized bed and the second bedroom has a double bed. The built in wardrobe in the second bedroom will be available for you to use. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you might need, including a slow cooker and air fryer. Please note that we do not have a dishwasher or a clothes dryer. The bathroom has a separate shower and bath. The hot water and water pressure are both great. The lounge room has a reverse cycle air con and both bedrooms have ceiling fans.

The building is quiet and calm. Our next door neighbours are great and available to help if you need anything (they love Choclo and keep treats for). The building has a large outdoor area with clothes lines. We keep Choclo on lead as there are other dogs in the building but we do use this area to take him to the toilet.

The apartment has a garage but it will be in use as our car will be parked there. There is always untimed street parking available.

About the Area

Canterbury Sydney, New South Wales
Suburb Insights
Sunrise in Canterbury brings the distinct sound of local birds, signaling the start of the day. A morning walk with your charge often begins with a short stroll to the Cooks River, where the paved path unfurls beside casuarina trees. Dogs enjoy the consistent, flat terrain, passing other early risers and their companions. The river offers a calming backdrop, a natural buffer to the urban hum, perfect for their initial stretch and your quiet contemplation. Returning, a local bakery or cafe near Canterbury Road provides a convenient stop for a coffee or a fresh roll before settling into the day's routine. Grocery essentials are easily found within a short walk or drive, making household management straightforward. The surrounding residential streets are generally calm, suitable for a leisurely afternoon meander with a less energetic pet, or simply enjoying the home's garden space. As the afternoon wanes, the train station offers a quick link if you fancy a change of scene, though many find the local parks sufficient for an evening outing. Tasker Park provides ample grassy areas for a final game of fetch before dusk. Life here unfolds with an understated rhythm; the day's events are often shaped by the pet's schedule and the quiet comfort of a suburban home, a pleasant contrast to Sydney's busier precincts.
