About

Our lovely family home is located in a quiet neighbourhood NOR in Perth, approximately 10-12 mins from both the beach and the CDB. There is a local shopping centre 3 mins away and the newly renovated Karrinyup Shopping Centre a 7 minute drive. The cafe and restaurant precincts of Scarborough and Sorrento Quay are also within easy reach.

We are seeking a special person to live in our home and care for our precious 16yo fur baby (dog) whilst we are away on holiday. Maxi is a 9kg mixed breed terrier x, who we rescued from a pound. He charms everyone he meets (even the 'I am not a dog person' types).

Due to his age, experience with elderly dogs is preferred, though not essential. He has medication that needs to be administered daily and is prone to seizures (which he also has medication for). His seizures are occurring on average 1 / month and are triggered by loud sudden noises and so someone who is able to be quiet around him is essential.

He absolutely loves human company and will sleep near you during the day or join you on the couch for cuddles when the opportunity arrises.
He sleeps in his own bed at night (in your room).

Due to his age and arthritis, a 3-5 minute sniff and walk (twice a day) across the road on the verge is all he needs.

You will ideally be someone who works from home or who is retired - so that our fur baby has company most of the time. He must have someone home with him every night and most days.

You will have access to a private bathroom upstairs and then the guest bedroom and living spaces downstairs (so as to avoid Maxi using the stairs unnecessarily).
We have a great alfresco area and a lovely backyard in which to relax with him, whilst he basks in the sun (a favourite pastime of his).
