We need a house sitter

Canberra - Belconnen

Robyn

Care for our two friendly miniature cavoodles and six chooks, with a top up watering of some plants if it's really hot and sunny (minimal garden care).
The dogs are fed twice a day in the morning/evening but not at a particular time. It would be great but not essential if you could walk the dogs once a day and have a play/cuddle with them. They are inside/outside dogs and we have a dog door into a large secure back yard. While they love company and will want to be around you when you are home they can be left alone during the day.

The chooks need to be let out from their coop in the morning and locked up in the evening (just closing/opening a gate and blocking off their automatic feeder). Once a day feed them some scratch mix, collect eggs and check automatic food/water.

We have two bedrooms (king bed, single bed) and one bathroom with a separate bath and shower and a separate toilet. Good Wifi is available. There are wooden floors throughout and it has been recently repainted. There is off street parking. You can bring dog/s if they would be compatible with 8-10 kg cavoodles and not chase the chooks which are in an enclosed area during the day, but the fence is not high. However, no cats as we are allergic.

We are 2 mins drive from local restaurants and 5 mins drive from the Belconnen shopping precinct.

Please note we have moved house since our last add so photos of the chooks are in a different backyard and reviews refer to our previous residence (though the same animals).

Robyn's house was in a great location to explore Canberra. Ruby & Zion were fun, loved to play fetch and get lots of cuddles. They can be nervous on walks when meeting people or dogs but by chatting to them as they walk, they're fine. Robyn provided lots of tips and advice and left a detailed handover list.

We enjoyed a peaceful house sit so close to the Lake, shops, parks and cafès. The two dogs were lovely snuggle companions and walking buddies. The New Years fireworks were viewed from the deck. We spent many hours in the mature extensive garden. Communication with Robyn was 5 star.
