Our home

We live in a cottage in Abbotsford/Collingwood, with a lovely off leash dog park across the street to enjoy your afternoon lunch/evening playtime with other dogs. It's one bedroom, a large living room and study, kitchen and front and back yards.

It's in a quiet street next to a park, however it's also walking distance to cafes, bars and restaurants that Collingwood & Abbotsford have to offer.

favoriteWhat we love about our area

We live next to a big park, which is also an off leash dog park, with bbq facilities and playground. The area has a lot of cafes, bars and restaurants within walking distance. There is also the Yarra trail that I take Saeki to in the mornings.

Our pets

DogsDogs (1)
I'm looking for someone to look after my 6 yo Pugalier (Pug x Cavalier) Saeki while I'm away for 6 weeks. She's a very well behaved dog, quiet but loves food and company. Ideally I would prefer someone retired/working from home, since I work from home and she's not used to being alone for more than an hour or two. I take her for 3 walks/day (2 x 30 min - Morning & Evening, 1 at lunch to the park across the road x 15 mins), unless it's a hot day, then just a couple of short walks for her to do her business as she will not even use our front yard or the back yard for it. Like me, she's a creature of habit and would prefer to keep the same schedule even when I'm away :)

You won't need to look after her all of the dates as my ex will come and take her for a few of these days as per our regular schedule. You are obviously still welcome to stay at the house when my ex has Saeki.

Minimal - We just have a few indoor plants that would need to be watered once, probably not even.
