Commencing soon
I'm looking for someone to care for my easy-going, slightly elderly chihuahua x at my home in July 2019, as my usual sitter is unavailable.
My place is a small, 2 bedroom unit in a quiet block. It's nothing flash, but it's safe and comfortable, with a small courtyard out the back with a couple of pot plants that need watering once a week. There are security shutters on the external windows, and friendly neighbours close by.
I'm mostly hoping to find someone who can be good company to my little dog, Dior while I'm away. Dior is 13 years old, and is pretty low maintenance. She doesn't require long walks (around the block once a day is about all she can manage), but she does still love a play with her toys. Dior does occasionally suffer from seasonal allergies, and she has some mild arthritis, but neither of these require regular medication. When they do flare up, she's easily tricked into taking her meds by hiding it in peanut butter.
I work from home, so Dior is used to having someone around during the day as well as at night, but she's fine on her own for a couple of hours, too. As long as you feed her, and are prepared to rub her belly at least dozen times a day, you'll be her best friend in no time! She does love to snuggle up in bed, especially when it's cold, but she's okay sleeping in her own bed too (and often chooses to). Mostly, however, she just loves to sleep, whether it's on your lap, next to you on the couch, or outside in the sun.
