About
My husband and I are looking for a house sitter for March 2026 for our two Hungarian Vizsla girls – mother and daughter. Although an energetic breed they are also happy to lounge around inside when they’ve had their walk. Sophie and Mabel need lots of love and affection in our absence. They are aged 9 and 7 and both are spayed. They have no medication requirements.
As the dogs are used to company during the day we would like someone who is retired or works from home. The girls would become stressed if they were home alone every day for long periods of time.
We would like to meet the house sitter(s) prior to the commencement of the sit so we can introduce them to our girls and give an orientation to our home.
We are located on a farm 20 km out of town in Gippsland. It takes just 20 minutes to drive into the nearest town – Warragul - where there are plenty of cafes and shops to browse. Our home is a comfortable house with three bedrooms, study and games room with pool table and has wifi. There is plenty of space to store a caravan if required.
The dogs can be walked over the paddocks without restraint – choosing areas where there are no cattle. They have excellent recall.
We would like a non-smoker and for the house and garden to be kept neat and tidy. We have a small vegetable garden that may need watering.
The girls are crate trained and are happy to rest in their crates for a few hours when you leave the property as long as they’ve had a good walk or run prior. They like to be inside when you’re inside and outside if you’re outside!
Twice a day walks over the paddock off leash is sufficient – more if you feel inclined.
We have a zero turn ride on mower which is available if you are comfortable using it, otherwise we have a neighbour who will come and mow for us.
We look forward to hearing from you.
