About
Hi, we are looking for an animal lover to take care of our two fur babies whilst we are away for 2 weeks. Our house in Coburg West is in a very central location near cafes & a sensational gelato shop! It is 4 mins walk from the Melville Rd #58 tram stop, and also very close to the Moreland Rd bus stop. The house has been recently renovated and is very comfortable with all mod cons. There are 2 bathrooms, ducted heating, air con & a lovely big deck out the back with a built in BBQ.
Our house is a smoke free house (but sitter can smoke outside).
Looking for animal lovers with excellent references!
Pets & farm animals
We have a beautiful little indoor Abyssinian cat who is very active and affectionate and one timid but kind- natured sook of a dog who is medium to large in size. Whilst scared of her own shadow she is beautiful & hasn't a mean bone in her body. You will need to be patient with her, as she will take time to get used to you.
House Tasks
Tasks we would require the house sitter to undertake include:
Looking after the animals eg (in addition to feeding and pooper scooping) the cat likes regular hugs & playing fetch with small pieces of paper; & the dog just loves to be inside the house somewhere near you whenever possible! Walking the dog is an optional extra - she is content to be lazy and sleep all day if you let her!
Domestic tasks include Collection of mail &
watering the garden if possible.
