We need a house sitter

Canberra - Gungahlin

Leah

4 bedroom 2 bathroom home in Harrison ACT in Gungahlin area. We have a small courtyard garden that is easy care and no gardening required. Off street parking will be available in the driveway. We have 2 spare rooms 1 with a double bed and the other with a queen bed which sits between a seperate bathroom and toilet for your use. We live opposite a walking/bike track along a creek. Harrison is close to Gungahlin town centre for shopping, restaurants and service centres. Tram to city is within walking distance. We have 3 small dogs. 1 is a female Jack Russell x Mini Fox terrier named Ruby and we have a small female chihuahua named Birdie and the other is a male Chihuahua named Nacho. Ruby is 15 years old, Birdie is around 5-6 years old and Nacho is 10. Being older and smaller dogs they all have limited exercise needs. Birdie enjoys a longer walk and short walk across to the creek or around the block is enough for the other 2. Ruby has twice daily heart medication which she takes readily with no fuss. They love to cuddle up and sleep a lot so they are no fuss dogs really. They have access to a dog door to outside and are quite gentle dogs. They will alert you to someone at the door or back fence but that’s about all. They love their food and treats.

Leah & Andrew's house was very comfortable with a large outdoor deck. We had good communication prior and during our stay. We loved looking after Nacho, Ruby and Birdie each with different personalities. We are very grateful that they allowed my sister and brother in law to stay with us so we could visit my dad in hospital. Hoping that we can return again in the future.

We had such a great time visiting Canberra and caring for Nacho and Ruby! Leah and Andrew's home is in a quiet little spot, close to parks, walking trails and about a 10 minute walk from the tram stop. Nacho and Ruby were chilled pups who loved company and pats, but also loved snoozing the day away indoors or on the deck in the sunshine. My daughter adored them, and they absolutely loved her, they were so gentle and affectionate. Leah and Andrew communicated frequently and with ease. ... MORE

Had a great time looking after Ruby and Nacho. Ruby is super friendly straight away and loves her walks, pats and treats! Nacho took some time to warm up and then he was the best cuddle buddy! Great walking paths nearby and the house is lovely with a sound system that makes you feel you are at the movies! Leah and Andrew were great people to meet and I felt very comfortable with their level of engagement at all stages of the sit. I would be very pleased to sit for them again!
