Hi

Im looking for a house/dog sitter for my dog 4 days (Thurs 6th – Sun 9th Oct 2022)

Modern 2 level Townhouse in Nundah, fully furnished, your own bathroom, 16 stairs between the split levels separating bedrooms to loungeroom, street parking only, cute fenced backyard, great location near transport, gyms and supermarket..
Plenty of street parking as its on the quieter side of the suburb.
There is a home office if you need to work/study from the house with unlimited wifi

I would like to meet first and please provide references that can vouch for you on dogsitting. If you have pet sit cats or other animals it doesn’t mean anything towards an energetic dog sorry.

Im happy for you to arrive the day before. If your travel plans require a bit longer you are welcome to stay an extra day when I return on the 9th.

Please only make contact if you can be at home a mix of day/evening sporadically. I don’t want my dog being left alone during the day for more than 5 hours at a time (by this I don’t mean leave, come back for 1 hour then leave again for another 5 hours)
At night after eating he will just slot around and go to sleep when he feels like it if you need to go out, but when you return home best to put him in the crate and then let out again in the morning.

Suitable for someone or couple that have no mobility issues, have handled medium to large energetic dogs before as he is cheeky and strongwilled.

Pets & farm animals

1 dog – medium size, energetic and vocal golden cocker spaniel - Banks. <br />In October he will be 11 months old ( typical adolescent that will push boundaries) He barks when people come to the door<br /><br />He needs - <br />**2 walks (on lead only) a day, There is a dog park walking distance down the road however a lot of small toy breed dogs go there and he plays better with larger dogs.<br />**He is happy to travel in the car to go places (I have a car mat to loan) and is social with people and other dogs. (He likes bigger dogs more than smaller ones)<br /><br />**a quick brush of his coat to detangle any matts under his chestplate and where the harness rubs, Im lucky he is not much of a shedder but the harness creates some matting<br />**Not be left for more than 4 hours at any one time during the day<br />**Put him in his crate at night to sleep about 9pm (located in a room upstairs with door shut)<br />**Let him out of his crate of a morning to go out to toilet about 6am (then he is free to roam loungeroom & yard as he likes)<br />** adjust times above but not to be in crate for any longer than 9 hours<br />**Feed in the morning and at night approx. 7am and 6 – 7pm
