Our home

The house is very comfortable, Two bedrooms and two largish lounge rooms with small cubby room and kitchen. It is well decorated and furnishings are attractive. You can sit at the rear on a patio around a glass table and in the front is a car port. YOu will be sleeping in the main bedroom with Queen size bed. There is a shower in the bathroom. I will clear cupboard space for you.

favoriteWhat we love about our area

I am very fortunate to have bush right in front of my home - saved by community protest from being developed into a 6-lane freeway. There are lovely walks in the bush which has been rehabilitated, the bird life is active and other life including skinks, bandicoots, native wildlife and orchids.

Our pets

DogsDogs (1)
Chester is a 5-year old mainly Besenji Hunting Dog with some Jack Russell. He is delightful and loves humans but is not a dog-sociable dog due to a nasty attack by a pit bull last year. However, except for the walk I describe below in Fremantle Cemetery which is dog-free mostly and all dogs on leads, I do not want you to take him outside the fence boundaries of my house but simply to play and keep him company within the fence boundaries. He likes humans and tries very hard to please. Care would include a weekly groom with brushes I have, being with him at times outside in the garden, feeding him and changing his water in the garden and the house daily, There is a walk I would like you to take with him 3 times a week or alternate days at a local cemetery which dogs rarely frequent and are on leads. I can show you this cemetery which is about 10-15 minutes away from home when we meet.

medicationMedication/treatment required

Daily paroxetine half a tablet morning and half a tablet evening. This is administered on a small piece of rice cake first thing in the morning and around 3pm to manage his anxiety and work well.

Our garden

local_floristGarden or plant care

Average - Watering the garden every two days if it is really hot above 32c, In winter/autumn watering once a week and sweeping pathways front and back one a week. Make sure the hoses are always turned off after watering. (It is very easy to forget and once a dogsitter caused a $100 bill due to not turning off and the hose coming off).

Important info

Apart from taking my dog Chester to the local cemetery (a beautiful and peaceful location where there are seldom dogs to be seen) do not risk taking him out elsewhere. He reacts strongly to other dogs and then they respond aggressively. At home he is fine.
