About
We have a very little old dog, Polly, who is 19 years old and is in need of a loving, calm and patient person(s) to care for her while we are away. Polly is a well behaved girl but needs help given her age, she eats well but does need help being taken outside because of her limited mobility and sight. Polly loves to be with people so will need a sitter who is able to be around most of the day, although she sleeps a lot so doesn't need much entertainment. She won't need walks but is happy to be taken on an outing in her dog pram.
We have a comfortable house that is easy to look after, it is located near lots of nice walking tracks in Canberra. We are looking for caring, tidy, reliable and non-smoking people.
If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please get in touch to discuss further details. It would be great to do a short trial ahead of the longer sit.

House Tasks
The house is quite low maintenance but we would appreciate if you could mow the lawn every two weeks (because it would be summer). The garden has irrigation so no watering is required. Other house tasks include collecting the mail and putting out the rubbish.
