Central Coast

Michael

One 9 year old border collie "Chips" needs to be walked once per day...
The nearby beach is dog friendly and legal to let Chips run around on Wamberal Beach. Entry to local golf course is only a block away and we often let Chips run around on the golf course too.

We had a delightful stay at Michael and Annette's house in Wamberal. They were beyond hospitable and did everything possible to make us feel at home. Chips is a delightful dog to look after and we grew very fond of him during our stay - making it hard to say goodbye! The location is great with lovely walks around the golf course, lagoon and beach within 5 mins. We also really enjoyed getting to know each other before and after the house sit - always great to make new connections! Thanks again ... MORE

It was a joy to be invited back to look after Chip in Michael and Annette’s very comfortable home .
 
JANE & IAN (Oct 2024 - 3 nights - 1 of 2 endorsements from this sitter )
Hard to decide which was the standout – The amazing and extraordinarily well behaved Chips the dog or their gorgeous well equipped house. Michael and Annette made me feel very welcome and the house was fantastic to stay in, with great accommodation, fires and wonderful sunny spots during the day to sit and have a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine). Chips was a joy to look after, constantly aware of where you are and happy to run on the nearby beach or golf course. Happy and affectionate puppy. ... MORE

We loved caring for Chip he has the most wonderful nature, he’s gentle and loving and was a joy to look after from beginning to end. Mike communicated clearly and explained everything we needed to know to make our stay very comfortable. Thank you.

This was such a lovely house-sit. Michael and Annette’s home is modern, airy and bright. It's comfortable and well set up for house-sitters. Michael gave us comprehensive instructions for everything (outdoor spa, pool, garage for our car, etc). The highlight though is their wonderful, sweet and intelligent dog, Chips. He is totally adorable! He responded immediately to all commands which made our time with him easy and fun. We took him everywhere in our short 4 days - North Shelley beach for a ... MORE

Chips is a good boy - mature short hair collie who loves a walk and human love - and it's a great location close to off leash section of Wamberal beach and good coastal towns and walking areas. We enjoyed taking him down the beach in the morning. Michael explains everything about the house and Chips' routine and there is ground floor guest area which is v comfortable. Thanks again Michael for having us as sitters.

Zoe loved caring for Chips, walking him on the beach, the dog park and around the golf course. Michael was very accommodating. Comfortable guest accommodation. Thank you!
 
CATHERINE AND ZOE (Sep 2023 - 2 nights)
Our time on this sit at Wamberal was a very nice experience indeed and was a joy caring for Chips, the border collie. Thank you for accepting us for your house sit and Will be happy to sit for you again.

Always love returning to be with Chips. The walk around the golf course is a high-light for me. The house is fantastic to be in, as well. I feel so spoilt having my own bathroom...and pool.

Had a lovely time looking after the affectionate and well behaved Chips. Great off leash beach within walking distance and other close green spaces. Michael and Annette were very friendly and helpful and their modern home had a comfy guest room with ensuite. Great communication re Chips' habits and routines.

This is my second sit for Michael, Annette and their very chilled collie Chips in Wamberal. The communication is great, the house modern and comfortable, and Chips is an easy dog to walk, he can easily be left while you go out, and this sit again was a pleasure like the first sit earlier this year. I liked it so much I am booked in for another 30 day sit next year.
 
MARK AUSTIN (Dec 2022 - 4 days - 1 of 2 endorsements from this sitter )
I really enjoyed being with Chips, an energetic & very friendly Border Collie. He followed commands while going for walks, which made it easy to be out with him. Micheal & Annette's house was so lovely. The room prepared for me was very comfortable, with it's own ensuite. I enjoyed being at their home & look forward to returning another time.

Michael and Annette's house in Wamberal was a delight to stay in. Comfortable, modern, functional, and very well located to beaches, shops and the entertainment of the Terrigal precinct. It also has a backyard pool. Chips the Border Collie loves his walks and will get you fit if you are an active person. He is a very low maintenance and affectionate dog. Michael and Annette were so welcoming and allowed me to stay over on two occasions between sits and are very generous and social ... MORE

I had a wonderful time looking after Chips. He was a friendly dog and very easy to look after. The house was lovely and situated in a nice neighborhood by the beach and golf course. I look forward to sitting for you guys soon. Thank you for having me! Michelle
