About

Hello! My husband and I are looking for a house and dog-sitter while we go on holiday for 3 weeks in March 2025. We have a 3 year old male Kelpie named Taz (or Tazzie) and a 4 year old female husky named Scarlet. Both dogs are very well behaved, know basic commands such as sit, stay, drop etc, and love people. Taz attended dog obedience training for 2 years and has his Trained Dog certificate. He absolutely loves pats and cuddles and enjoys being around people, but is also equally happy hanging out with Scarlet or being on his own. Scarlet also enjoys being around people but is more independent and likes to spend most of her time outside. Being working dog breeds they do require daily walks or trips to the dog park, however after a bit of exercise and a play together in the backyard they are usually happy to relax the rest of the day. We live across the road from a reserve and have nice walking trails nearby. They are mainly outside dogs but can come in during the day or in the evening, and are fine if left alone. Our garden is secure with fences around the backyard. There would be some amount of garden care required. Most of the garden is native plants which should not require any watering, however there are some pot plants (indoor and outdoor), vegetable beds and lawn that will require some watering while we are away. You would be welcome to help yourself to any fresh produce from the vegetable beds and any fruit trees that have fruit on them. We live in a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom house with plenty of space for parking, including a secure gated area for caravan/motorhome storage if need be. The second bedroom is set up as a study and we have a coffee machine. The bathroom will be undergoing a full renovation in November this year. We also have Netflix, Disney Plus and Kayo in the lounge room which you would be welcome to use. There is also a small gym set up in the garage. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us further.
