We need a dog lover to house sit our border collie. He needs an hour walk a day and some daily attention, ball throwing and love. The dog is protective of his ball so you can’t use the dog park unless it’s empty, and he does like small dogs (especially pugs). He is otherwise really good natured and loves people and walks and going for drives and out for coffee. Previous housesitters have wanted to keep him, he’s genuinely a very sweet boy. He is long haired and will need gentle brushing, and is prone to laying in muddy puddles when hot (grrr) so walk off lead at your own risk. He chases the hose and loves to swim.
The lawn will need mowing and watering, and house plants watered.
We have an old Queenslander in beautiful condition, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Plenty of outdoor entertaining space and a bbq. No pool.
We are a 15 min walk to a nature reserve, a 7 min walk to a train station, and a 17 min train ride from Southbank. 20 mins drive from the airport. Plenty of shops nearby. Lots of greenspace nearby and a lovely neighbourhood and neighbours.
The house is raised and there are no internal stairs, so house sitters must be prepared to navigate outdoor stairs even in the rain (some previous older housesitters didn’t find this element great).
