We need a house sitter

Hunter Valley - Newcastle

Jess

We are looking for someone who loves animals to house sit, and look after our dog and cat while we are away over Christmas.

Our cat Percy is an indoors-only cat, and our dog Winnie loves to watch the world go by (/chat to the neighbourhood dogs), on the front porch during the day, but also likes to keep you company inside (also sleeps inside).
Winnie is very affectionate, and loves cuddles. She also has A LOT of energy, so she needs a daily walk (local field is a 5 min walk away, where we throw her ball to run off her energy - she is ball-obsessed).
Percy is more of a shy guy and tends to hide from strangers, so it's not unlikely for him to only come out for food, until he gets used to you.

Basic animal care required - just feeding both each day and a walk for Winnie. Also picking up poop in the yard, and refreshing cat litter as needed.
Also watering of house plants.
Simple, single-storey home with WiFi and Netflix etc, street parking, 5 mins from shops at Wallsend or Elermore Vale.
No other pets allowed. No smokers.

I had a great house/pet sit at Jess's place in Wallsend. Winnie (puppy) was so lovely to care for - she loved to play ball and going for walks. Percy (cat) - likes his space but warmed up to me in the end :). Jess's home is lovely and comfortable - in a great location. We did a meet and greet but Jess also left me clear instructions on everything as well. I would happily house and pet sit for Jess again.

We had a lovely time at Jess' house and had a lot of fun with Winnie and Percy. The house was lovingly decorated and very clean. Both animals were friendly and a pleasure to have around. We were sad to leave them at the end of our stay. Communication with Jess couldn't have been better, she left us clear instructions and was very friendly, flexible and quick to reply when we had questions. We'd be happy to come back.
