We need a house sitter

South Western Victoria - Great Ocean Rd/Otway Ranges

Allan

We are looking for a house sitter whilst we are overseas. We have a 2 storey house in Warrnambool with a great view over Lake Pertobe and distant ocean views. The house is in a great location with the city centre a 10-15 minute walk heading north, and the main beach the same distance heading south. Warrnambool and surrounds have lots to offer in terms of sight seeing and outdoor activities. Our house has a good size backyard and some garden maintenance, mainly watering would be required. Our house is low maintenance, in good condition and has most mod cons. We have relatives in Warrnambool who can provide assistance should the need arise. Use of a car is possible. Most important is taking care of our beautiful 10 year old boxer Gemma. Our backyard is very secure but she never looks to escape, and Gemma sleeps inside and has access to the house during the day. We walk Gemma twice a day, 1 1/4 hours in total. She is usually very relaxed on the lead and does not pull, but can occasionally pull hard when she sees something of interest like a rabbit or another dog She therefore needs to be walked by someone who can match her force when required. She is very friendly to people, including children, but can be problematic with other dogs so is best kept away from them. We are looking for a house sitter without their own pets Looking forward to hearing from interested people. Please contact me on my mobile.

Allan and Lyn are very hospitable and have a lovely house with amazing lake views. Everything was very easy to care for - including Gemma! She is very easy going - even when I walked her a different route, she let me know but came with me anyway. Gemma is quite playful but also happy to find a sunny spot and stay there - great for working from home.

We absolutely loved sitting for Lyn & Allan. The dogs Gemma & Alfie were so easy to care for too. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. The house was very comfortable and clean, and the dogs are very well trained and in an easy care routine!

No rating We had a great experience sitting for Allan and Lyn and caring for their gorgeous boxer Gemma. She is a most affectionate and well behaved dog and taking her for regular walks was an absolute pleasure. We got into such a routine that that we now plan to continue regular walking either with or without a dog as a companion. Lyn and Allan have a lovely home with all the mod cons you could wish for and we even had the opportunity to borrow their bikes to cycle along the many bike tracks in ... MORE

No rating We had a preliminary meeting with Lyn and Allan (and their beautiful boxer, Gemma) and immediately felt very positive about them and our upcoming house-sit. Our arrival/handover was all well explained over lovely dinner. The house and property were presented immaculately and we looked forward to a relaxing and comfortable "adventure". Everything was made available, supported by detailed information manuals regarding the house and Gemma, the household pet. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to ... MORE
