Daylesford VIC

We are hoping to get away for a short break in October. We live in a modern home, right in central Daylesford with fabulous bush views. A room with QS bed and private bathroom is available for sitters, along with the other main areas of the house.

We need a dog lover, (preferably someone with whippet or sighthound experience) and someone who is just as a big a dog lover as we are. Our dogs are quite strong on lead which is why we have a preference for a couple - they can't be walked off lead because we are on the edge of the forest and we have roos and uncovered mine shafts in the region.

If you don't like indoorsy dogs and dogs sitting on the sofa with you, then this housesit will not suit. They do need cuddles and interaction and they do need someone who understands dogs and someone who wont mind throwing a blanket over them on the colder days. They can tend to play rough (when they do play together) so I need someone who not intimidated by a dog making "Star Wars" noises LOL! They may look like they are being rough with each other, but they never fight in anger. They simply love each other and get on extremely well together.

Bonafide Housesitting References & Experience are a must: Whilst a police check would be highly regarded, I would prefer to see actual housesitter references from this site (or other official sites) as opposed to a police check.

PS: Whilst we love grey nomads and people with their own vans, our home is down a dirt track and access for large vehicles is awkward. Our driveway doesn't really have easy access for large vans etc. We are also on the edge of the forest, so would prefer a non-smoking sitter/s without any pets of their own.
