Our home

House

Thirteen year old 4 bedroom house (2 with beds), 2 bathrooms, spa (currently empty sorry), all the usual mod cons. Unlimited high-speed internet (go nuts!).
Located 15 minutes from CBD in the new Wigram Skies subdivision - short walk to shops, cafes, supermarket, bus, movie theatre and local parks.

favoriteWhat we love about our area

Less than 1km (easy walk) to cinema, groceries, pharmacy, restaurants and bars. And much closer to parks.
Public transport within 200m

Our pets

DogsDogs (2)
Feeding and walking two dogs (mid sized, beardie collie crosses). Poo patrol. Keep house tidy, collect mail and some watering of the garden.

Would be happy if the dogs got to know you in advance, so if you could arrive early that would be great - obviously accommodation provided!

medicationMedication/treatment required

Both dogs require medication with food, one a simple syrup, the other requires an insulin injection for diabetes, and reasonable monitoring to ensure her blood sugar isn’t too low. We can explain in detail, but these things are pretty easy (seems scary at first but it’s really pretty simple). This does mean feeding at 7am and 7pm (+/- 30 mins)!and an insulin injection after food.

Our garden

Minimal - A little watering of some indoor and outdoor plants.

About us

person Neil

We are a couple, no kids other than our two dogs. We are looking for pet sitters not house sitters - the dogs are out priority and we want them to be yours. They both need mediation with food.
