We need a house sitter

Melbourne - Bayside

Joel & Prashikha

Hi,
We are looking for a house sitter for our two beautiful 5-year-old energetic and affectionate dogs.

We are after someone who is very familiar with medium/large dogs. They are beautiful but boisterous and will test the boundaries every now and then.

Sorry, no small children or families or other dogs.

THE PUPS
Male is staffy x mastiff. Female is whippet x bull arab.
They sleep in laundry with doggy door access to backyard.
They are generally well behaved with basic training.
They are not social with other dogs so can't be off-lead outside home.
They are fine with most adults, not good with children.
They are used to being left alone for long hours.

DATES:
4th Oct - 20th Oct

You will cross over with us on 4th and 20th.

Ideally, we would like you to have at least one meet and greet beforehand with the dogs.

LOCATION:
Less than 10 minutes' walk to beautiful Carrum beach, Patterson River, Carrum train station, walking and bike tracks, wetlands. Street parking available. 10 min walk to ALDI supermarket, coffee shops, restaurants and pubs.

5 min drive to Woolworths and Coles. 2 farmers markets once a month: Bonbeach and Seaford. 10 min drive to Bayside Shopping centre and Frankston, 15-10 min by train. 1 hour train to Melbourne CBD. 20 min drive to Dandenong (also has a market, great food). 20 min drive to Springvale (also has a market, great food)

IN RETURN:
You will have access to a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1 toilet, laundry, kitchen, spacious lounge, dining room and big backyard. There is wood heater in the lounge room and an electric heater in your bedroom for cooler days. Portable fans for warmer days. Access to unlimited internet and TV.

WHAT IS INVOLVED:
Feeding the pups twice a day. They are active dogs so will need daily walks of up to at least 30 mins.
**They will need to be walked one at a time.**
The dogs love cuddles, scratches and belly rubs.

Respect the house, our privacy and keep it tidy :)

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions :)

It was an absolute joy to stay at Prashikha and Joel’s home and take care of their dogs Dolma and Jampa! A beautiful home filled with plants and character and a fireplace (which was magic during winter!) Information provided was extensive and helpful and it was always easy to get in contact. Wonderful location right near the train station, shops, cafes and the beach! Would happily recommend looking after Prashikha and Joel’s home and fur babes, and hopefully will do again soon!

We really enjoyed taking care of these 2 vigorous and affectionate boisterous 'babies'. They definitely need experienced dog handlers and have the strength to control their impulsive responses to play or chase other animals. The large house yard is very conducive to allowing the dogs expend their energy. Joel and Prashika are very good caring communicators and were able to quickly deal with any questions and needs that arose greatly facilitating our house sit. We were sad to say goodbye to our ...
