About

We are looking for someone to look after our girls, Skadi (Great Dane x) & Circe (Staffy x), and the ruler of all, Loki (moggy) at our home in leafy Eltham. Someone happy to water plants as needed would be a bonus. As we both work from home, the pets are used to having someone around all the time, so someone who works from home or is otherwise around most of the time would be preferred. Best suited to a single person but a couple, friends or parent/child will be considered Our office will be still operating (with two members of staff coming in three days a week) and we have a cleaner who comes in weekly - we would of course organise a meet and greet to ensure that everyone is comfortable with this. You’ll have a comfy bed and workspace, access to a private bathroom (with spa bath), internet, various streaming services. Kitchen has coffee machine, air fryer, slow cooker, family room area and one bedroom have reverse cycle AC and the house also has central ducted heating. There is also a lovely big undercover/enclosed outdoor entertaining area and deck and large garden if being outside is more your thing. We’re located a short (approx 1km), albeit hilly walk from public transport, local shops, cafes, etc.

Pets & farm animals

Skadi - 7y/o Dane x Bull Arab. Skadi lives to be loved. Like most Danes, she’s a gentle giant with zero concept of her size. Offer an ear rub and she’ll be your best friend for life. Very laidback, easy going dog; her only issue is a fear of thunderstorms (jacket, adaptil spray and reassurance help a lot) Circe - 7y/o Staffy x. Circe had a bit of a rough start to life and can be a bit nervous (especially of sudden, unexpected movement) but is also a lovely, gentle girl. The key to Circe’s heart is a good bum scratch. Loki - 11 y/o moggy. In typical cat style, Loki rules the house. Although he’s not typically a lap cat, he has to know everything going on, and loves a good head scratch and a chat
