We need a house sitter

South East & Central - Mid West

Hi, we need a house sitter from November 15 to 30th, 2024, to mind our 7 year old male German Shepherd Charlie. Charlie is reactive so we would prefer someone with experience of this, or failing that plenty of experience with dogs, preferably big breeds. He is stranger averse but a smooch when he knows you.
Charlie is extremely wary of other dogs, especially if they are off lead so he has some special instructions for walks.
We invite travellers to enjoy a couple of weeks lay over in our beautiful regional city with its wonderful foreshore walkways, lots of cafes, weekend markets, shipwreck museum and rural hinterland.
We live in Bluff Point, a peaceful part of Geraldton, and we are over the road from the beach. It’s a great place to unwind and view a spectacular sunset over the Indian Ocean every single night.
We prefer someone who can be around at least a couple of days early to get to know Charlie. We have plenty of backyard space to park a big van if required. A guest room is available in our home if preferred and use of all facilities. Wifi, Netflix etc available.
Our home is currently being renovated, mostly completed inside, still a bit to do outside. It’s bright and comfortable and guests always love it here.
Charlie sleeps outside at night but usually prefers to be inside during the day. He is ok to leave when you want to go to town or sightseeing or whatever. He likes at least one sniffy walk a day but other than that is happy to laze around.

I loved taking care of Charlie, the German Shepherd. He’s a big dog and a big softie. I enjoyed our daily walks as he explored the beautiful reserve area and beach across the road from Rose and Pete’s house. Rose and Pete were very welcoming and I especially enjoyed reading in the gorgeous bay window overlooking the ocean. Their house is in a great location and a short drive into the centre of Geraldton. If you get the chance to house sit for them I’d highly recommend it. I’m sure you’ll ... MORE

Dear Jodie, I’m feeling dreadful for not getting a review in before the deadline. No sooner was I home than I was off again, but that’s no excuse. We loved the security and peace of mind that you gave us while we were away and Charlie was obviously very happy! Thanks for all the photos and updates ... MORE
Charlie is quite intimidating on first meeting him but nothing could be further from the truth. Once he gets to know you and trust you he is the most adorable big softie and became my shadow often treading on my thongs as I walked. Home has alot of charm being from the 1850's I believe and Rose's art work and designs are brilliant.
