Our home

Experienced house sitter needed to stay in our warm, comfortable family home near the beach (7 minutes from town and 30 seconds from a bus stop!) to look after the house and our 2 dogs - a beardie and a wire haired fox terrier. Someone who is clean and tidy, experienced with dogs, and with Police check and references please.
Many thanks.

favoriteWhat we love about our area

A few blocks from the St Clair beach and the many great cafes and restaurants on The Esplanade. Only a 7 minute drive into the CBD. There is a bus stop 30 secs away at the end of the street, and a 4 Square 1 minute walk away. The airport is a 20 min drive.

Review

It was a pleasure to house and dog sit for Sally and Fraser and enjoy the seaside area of St Clair. Dogs Jack and Fred were delightful and we had fun getting to know and trust each other (no Fred you were never going to be trusted off the lead!!) Good instructions re house & pet routines were handy to refer to during the week.
Fay = short for Fayvourite - when we arrived home and let our dogs in, they more or less ignored us and went rampaging through the house looking for Fay ! Suffice to say she is wonderful, and did a great job of looking after our dogs and our house. Please come again Fay !
