About
Situated in leafy North Ringwood with easy access to Eastland and Ringwood Station (8 min bus).
Short walk to local park, cafes and shops (supermarket, bakery etc). The area is very peaceful and the house has a large garden (no gardening required) and deck. Ideal location to explore Warrandyte, the Yarra Valley and surrounding areas.
I have one beautiful Ocicat (8 years old), one Doberman (9 years old) and one whippet (3 year old). They get on well with each other, very friendly and love people.
I am looking for someone who will be home with them most of the time, a couple of days of work is not a problem. They are used to being home alone a couple of times per week when I'm out at work, but not much more. The dogs walk well on lead, but there are two of them so needs someone of moderate strength to walk them together safely. The cat is highly social and likes interacting or sitting on a warm lap. My home is comfortable and has everything you need.
If you feel like you can be a good companion for them please get in touch.
I would really like you to stay on until 28th July, my 15 yo son will return from our trip before me on 12th July. He will be out at school all day every day and I would really appreciate someone being here with the animals. However, understand if cohabiting with a teenager is not for you. He is a quiet respectful boy and he is mainly in his bedroom upstairs these days!
