We need a house sitter

Region: South Western - South West

House Owner: Rhonda

We live in Bridgetown close to the Blackwood River in a 3 x 1 house, front and back semi enclosed verandahs. Newly decked back verandah with spa. And newly renovated bathroom and laundry. Close to town, river (we have kayacks available at the house), restaurants and shops. We have a 3 legged Rescue StaffyX (who does not like being left on his own, but ok for a few hours). He likes a walk in the morning and the early evening (not during the heat as it makes it harder on his heart and needs frequent rests if walked then) He is friendly and loving and will love you from the minute he meets you. We have a cat, Trevor who likes a pat and 2 meals a day.
If you feel this would suit you please contact us. Thanking you in advance.

Regards Rhonda

I've had an enjoyable winter experience with the well bonded pair Frankie (Staffy) & Trevor (cat) in Rhonda & Darren"s cosy cottage close to town & the river. Frankie is a friendly dog who won't let you out of his sight. He has separation anxiety & also unpredictable behaviour with some dogs. Trevor is a delight. A confident, friendly cat who's a great playmate & support to Frankie. Communication with Rhonda was easy & prompt.

Rhonda: I had to clean my house during my lunch break from work- 2 full vacuum barrels- used bandaids on the floor - the only thing clean was intact the fridge. Front verandah and back hadn’t been swept at all and pot plants hadn’t been watered. More importantly, neighbours told me how you treated Frankie ... MORE

Absolutely loved this sit in beautiful Bridgetown, house is in a quiet area with great neighbours a beautiful outlook, walking distance to town as and coffee shops. Plenty of relaxing walks straight from front door. Not a lot of work to keep garden and lawns tidy. Most of all Frankie was just such a darling woofer to look after, he just loves people and is easily placated. Put this one down when it comes up, I am sure you will love it as much as we did. Thanks Rhonda & Darren for ... MORE

Rhonda & Darren are a very welcoming couple and most importantly, so was Frankie. Frankie is the happiest, friendliest and most polite dog we have ever met. This was our first sit and an easy sit. Was a pleasure

We totally enjoyed looking after Rhonda and Darren's home they made us very very welcome, even after the house sit was finished they invited us to stay a few more days but unfortunately we had to move on. Now what can we say about the "Girls" Jess and Scarlett two very beautiful natured dogs , they loved lots of affection which we love giving , so easy to care for . As with all our new fur friends we will miss them . Once again Rhonda and Darren thanks for letting us look after your fur babies ... MORE

A lovely welcome from Rhonda and great communication throughout our stay. All the facilities were good and plenty of space. It is a temporary home with all the facilities while the main house is being finished which was very comfortable and happy to recommend Rhonda and her home for a house sit Greg and Angie
