About
Hi there, we are away from 26th January to 3rd February and are looking for someone responsible and caring to housesit our 3 bedroom Edwardian home and look after our Groodle (Luna) & Burmese cat (Gidget). They are both well trained, sweet natured and easy to care for.
Our house in Elwood is 5 mins walk to the beach and close to Elwood village. St Kilda shops, supermarkets and public transport. Point Ormond, St Kilda Botanical Gardens and other parks are nearby too, as well as many cafes & restaurants to choose from.
The house is small, modern and low maintenance, with only a few plants to water.
Luna loves people and other dogs and is good on the lead. She gets walked every day and loves attention. Gidget is the queen of the house & will love sitting on your lap at night but sleeps most of the day. She is an older cat with some medication needed daily so we need a house sitter who is experienced and comfortable with animals.
Ideally someone retired or works from home who will not be away from the house for long periods at a time.
The house has internet, large TV, Netflix etc and a lovely backyard that gets lots of sun so you can relax on the deck in the afternoons or go for a walk down the canal to the beach.
If you love animals and are interested, please get in touch with a bit about yourself and your experience. References appreciated.
