About
A short term (approx 5 weeks) house sitting position is available in beautiful tourist popular Echuca.
This is a small, self-contained accommodation business which has a manager and staff, both who live nearby and run the business. I am seeking either a single person or couple to live in the house to water the extensive gardens and care for my extremely friendly German Shepherd dog whilst I am travelling. He is a beautiful 2yrs old, well trained and behaved dog. Each morning he is walked through the state forest (which adjoins this property leading to the Murray River) and later joins his other fur friends at the local dog park
The property is centrally located within walking distance to the river, historic port and town centre. The glassed-in balconies overlook state forest catching the morning and winter sun. Echuca has excellent facilities - sporting cultural, food, transport etc.
Applicants must have 3 references, a police clearance and able to have a whatsapp interview.
Thank you for your interest.
