Experience and references a must as well as a genuine love of animals.
All our animals are indoor during the day and sleep in the garage at night.
We are an easy twenty minute commute via car to the CBD.

Bendigo
We are seeking a dog lover (s) who would have no qualms about looking after three large dogs (2x male huskies & 1x female malmute), & whom would be around a lot of the time. Our furkids are pretty cruisey if they have plenty of human contact, love & affection & exercise. Due to the dominant nature of our mallie we unfortunately cannot accept any sitters with children under the age of 14yrs.
If you could collect the mail, & look after our very low maintenance gardens that would be great.
We have friends with other snow dogs that we could hook you up with as the furkids all get along really well.
It would be preferable if you did not have your own dog as previously mentioned our mallie is dominant & does not always get along with other dogs (she definitely does not get along with cats except if they are for lunch & small dogs are a bit iffy). However if you do have a dog that is used to living outside, we have a small, fenced outside area that would separate the furkids but they could still sniff one another through the fence. Our three furkids have access to the house & sleep inside at night time and we would want this to continue whilst we are away.
There is a possibility that we may be away until the end of January 2013 but can clarify dates in the future.
Our house is three bedroom, currently one of the rooms is being used as an office, it is fully furnished with a main bathroom & an ensuite. There is an undercover, entertaining deck area at the back with a BBQ etc.
The house is located about 5 minute drive from the centre of Bendigo & we are only 1 hour 45 mins drive from Melbourne.
There are plenty of walking tracks & bush areas in the near surrounds, as well as lakes. There is a cinema, theatre, pubs restaurants, shopping malls, hospital & public transport within the local area.
If you feel that you could deal with licks, unconditional love & want the challenge of looking after our home & three furkids that have very different personalities we would love to hear from you.

Dates: 1st October 2012 - 31st December 2012

I have 3 children, 2 living near me here with 2 wonderful grandsons and I have another son living in Dubai. I moved from Sydney 2 years ago after working in Environmental Management at State Forests of NSW for 13 years. Prior to my leaving Sydney I finished a 3 year Adv Diploma in Counselling. I lived on the northern beaches and loved to sail on Pittwater for many years. I was a committee member of the Royal Motor Yacht Club for 4 years.
    I have come to Sydney on several occasions to house sit for the Cruise Captain of the yacht club. Written or verbal references can be easily obtained.
    I lived in outback NSW on large properties for 22 years and thus have had many different animals all of which I lovingly cared for.
    I am an honest, reliable, practical and very capable person with a good sense of humour.

  • I have had extensive experience caring for others and doing full time volunteer work for The salvation Army and for Military Veterans. I own two homes of my own, one which I have rented so I know the value of a good carer / tenant.
    I own a dog which gets treated with intense TLC, much to my wife's chagrin at times. She is a very senior nurse with an intense job so we find time apart is beneficial for both of us. Naturally, she would visit and assist me during her breaks.
