About
My partner Andy and I are looking for someone special to care for our beautiful Greyhound, Sunny, while we’re overseas for a month.
Sunny is an 8-year-old Greyhound who is loving, relaxed and incredibly easy to have around. She’s healthy, gentle and absolutely adores people. In true Greyhound fashion, she’s happiest snoozing the day away and enjoys company around the house.
We’re located in a two-bedroom worker’s cottage in Kensington, just 15 minutes by train to the CBD. The house is walking distance to train stations and close to JJ Holland Park, which is a fantastic green space. One of the bedrooms is set up as a home office, making it ideal for someone working remotely. We're more than happy to send photos of our home by request.
Sunny’s routine is very manageable, she enjoys a short walk in the morning and a longer walk in the evening, but otherwise is very low maintenance and doesn’t require excessive exercise. She’s also great with other dogs, big or small.
We’d love to find someone who works mostly from home or spends a lot of time at home, as Sunny is very used to having company throughout the day. She doesn’t have separation anxiety, but she thrives with a calm and present environment.
We’re looking for someone caring, reliable and happy to enjoy a relaxed month with a very sweet companion.
