About

Hi! I’m looking for a caring and reliable house sitter to look after my cosy Elwood home and my three chilled, affectionate pets over the Christmas period.

Meet Poppy & Piper
Poppy – Maltese/Shih-Tzu (10)
Piper – Maltese/Papillon mix (12)
They’re relaxed, sweet natured, and love simple routines.
Their day starts with a walk to the coffee shop or around the block, followed by breakfast treats.
During the day, they’re happy to snooze while you head out.
In the afternoons/evenings they enjoy another walk to the park or even to a local bar, then dinner, and finally couch snuggles.
They sleep on the bed if allowed, but are just as content in their dog beds.
Piper can be a little bossy (in a cute way!) and will happily tell you what she wants.

Meet Pippa (10)
Pippa is an independent but friendly cat who loves pats on her terms.
Her routine includes:

Feeding twice daily, Inside by 9 pm, Let out first thing in the morning

About the Home
My home is cosy, secure, and perfectly located — walking distance to:

Train (5mins) and tram (right out the front)
Elsternwick, Ripponlea, Acland St & Balaclava
You’ll enjoy:
Wi-Fi
Chromecast + standard TV
A comfortable office setup
A lovely outdoor garden with BBQ

What I Need From You
Care for Poppy, Piper & Pippa
Water indoor plants once, and outdoor plants as needed
Respect the home: no parties, no smoking/vaping, no extra pets

If you’re responsible, tidy, and love the company of small pets, I’d love to hear from you.
This is a perfect sit for someone wanting a peaceful, comfortable stay close to great cafes and public transport.
