About

Our 3 bedroom house is located in Mentone, we have wifi, reverse cycle a/c unit in the open plan living/kitchen/dining area as well as a log burning fire, there is another heater for the bedroom, if you need it and loads of blankets! We are only a short walk to bus services which also connects to train services in Mentone. There are groups of shops nearby, or a Woolworths approximately 1km away.

We own 2 dogs (an American Staffy and a Chihuahua) and 1 cat and we'd really love someone responsible and caring to come and look after them while we are away!

The American Staffy is only 2 years old, he is a little anxious when first meeting new people, so it'd be great if you could come and meet him first. He's fine after an initial meeting. He is quite strong and pulls a lot while walking and should not be let off the leash. He is anxious of other dogs, so they should be avoided. One or two walks a day would be great, but it doesn't have to be a massive walk.

The Chihuahua is very easily managed, but avoid other dogs with her too, she doesn't really need to be walked every day, and is happy with just going around the block.

They both love to chill on the couch.

The cat is a free spirit and you'll hardly see him, he runs away from the big dog, but when you do see him, he's very snuggly!

All animals come and go into the backyard as they please, there is a pet door.

We feed the dogs 'Lyka' as the AmStaff is particularly sensative to lots of things (bread, rice etc.), so no feeding scraps from plates!

The Amstaff gets a bone if you're going to be out of the house for a while and needs to be seperated from the Chihuahua.
