We are putting the feelers out for a couple to look after our two energetic labradoodles for approximately one week We live in the beautiful Alpine Area and our home is at the foot of Falls Creek. We are 25 minutes from Bright and 60 minutes from Albury/Wodonga.
Molly and Oscar are our babies and are like chalk and cheese. Oscar (on left of photo) is full on, bouncy, huge personality , loves people, but not too fond of other dogs Molly is the princess, and is quiet, gentle and takes some time to warm up to people, but once she does, she loves attention.
Our home is on three split levels, the entry is ground level with a lounge, 5 steps take you up to the kitchen and family room, where you have magnificent views of the mountains. 7 steps down from entry level are the guest bedrooms and a bathroom and separate toilet. The laundry is also on this level.
The garden area has steps as we are on a slight hill, We have a beautiful little creek running through the bottom of the property where you can lounge in the hammock, or have a barbecue by the creek.
The dogs do not need walking as they have a lovely area to run and play around the creek (and they can be a bit naughty on walks !, so we prefer them to stay inside the property while we are not there). As you can see they are inside dogs, and will most likely sleep on our bed while we are away.
There will be a little watering to be done., but not much.
We would like either a couple or a female to look after the doggos, Molly would not entertain a male on his own. She had bad experiences with males when she was a puppy and has never forgotten it, however she is comfortable if there is a female around.
So if you are ok with stairs and steps and this sit appeals to you please reach out. Dates are a little flexible.

Cheryl and Gus were very relaxed and at the same time informative. It was an unusual situation as the house was being sold. We were informed not only by Cheryl, also the agent when house viewings were.happening. the house was sold within a matter of weeks and we were able to enjoy the property with regular communication with Cheryl and Gus. We will definitely be keeping in touch.

Oscar and Molly were a delight to look after. Lots of love given over my 2 stays! And Cheryl and Gus are lovely people and their home is beautiful and very comfortable. I was made to feel right at home. A wonderful sit 🤗 x

Thanks Cheryl & Gus, we had a great stay at your beautiful home, we felt comfortable from day one., and what a fun time looking after Oscar & Mollie! Oscar ... Oh my goodness, where do you begin! Just a big fluffy ball of love and energy! We still chuckle over some of his antics. As for Mollie, she is such a sweetie, and by the end of the week we were totally smitten. Thank you from both of us.

Many thanks Cheryl & Gus for having us in your home & making sure we felt comfortable during our stay, it was an absolute pleasure to look after. The house is wonderfully comfortable, and the garden was easy care. We had a great time during our 5 months, with lovely neighbours in a lovely area. We loved being able experience the location & surrounding areas as a local. We will miss our morning walks to the river & café strip & would not hesitate to stay again.

It was a pleasure house sitting for Cheryl and Gus . Oscar and Molly are two gorgeous fluff balls with huge puppy energy. The house is their holiday home so it's basic in its set up but has most things you may need . Note there is no WIFI . I loved Bright in spring and would be happy to sit again . Cheryl and Gus are lovely people and we had good communication all the way along .
