About

Relax in this airy low-maintenance 3br 2bathrm 2-storey weatherboard house in Top Ryde/West Ryde with big back deck and level yard, with our highly social and chatty yet independent senior Alaskan Malamute dog to keep you company. Very central to amenities - 15 mins walk (or 3 min drive) to Top Ryde shopping centre and its restaurants one way, and 10-15 mins walk to West Ryde shopping centre and restaurants the other. 3 blocks to West Ryde train station, 2 blocks from Victoria Rd buses (yet extremely quiet) and the 7Eleven, and 5-10 mins' drive to ferries and the Ryde Bridge if you're heading south out of town. You would also have use of one of our cars.. We have both Foxtel and Netflix as well as WiFi and four air conditioners, so you'll be entertained in comfort in exchange for keeping the dog amused with walks and puppet playtime! Would suit single or couple.
*NB - we theoretically will be in WA on holiday during the period of this housesit. Ad/housesit applies as long as we are able to travel to WA (ie no border closures due to hotspot lockdowns between here - 14 February - and 16 March).

Pets & farm animals

1 Alaskan Malamute who is extremely people social and needs 1-2 short walks each day so he can 'tart'. He is fed meat in the morning and dry food at night. We would leave money and food/meds instructions. And a glossary for the large number of words and phrases he knows.<br />Housesitters who do not need to be in an office from 9 to 5 every day but have a more flexible lifestyle are preferred, so the dog is not home all day by himself. Note he has never lived with another dog and although social, trialling this would not be a good idea.

House Tasks

Feed dog twice a day and walk him once a day at least. <br />Start and run car at least once a week<br />Vacuum dog fur as needed (we only vac once a week)<br />Other than that, relax and enjoy!
