Assignment Requirements

Small house with a nice backyard and garden within walking distance from public transport, shopping areas and parks. We are just a stone's throw from a variety of restaurants, supermarkets and food/retail shops.

We are looking for a reliable, preferably retired or with limited working hours, person or couple who loves animals and have both time and commitment to look after them. Our dogs are two gorgeous chihuahuas, aged 4 and 2 and a half years, who love human company immensely but are rather sketchy around other dogs. They will be delighted to be on your lap, play with you, and have you around most of the time.

Suburb Insights
Surrey Hills offers a calm rhythm for your house-sitting tenure, a suburban pocket where life unfolds at a deliberate pace. Mornings often begin with a stroll through Surrey Gardens, its mature trees providing welcome shade as you exercise the resident dog. The suburb's quiet, leafy streets are ideal for an additional afternoon walk, letting the pet explore familiar scents and local verges. Union Road's small cluster of cafes provides a convenient stop for a coffee, allowing you to settle into the local routine and observe daily life before heading home to a peaceful afternoon. Weekends invite longer explorations into the local landscape. Consider following a section of the Anniversary Trail, a shared path winding through green spaces, perfect for an extended dog walk or a solo run. Wattle Park, a short tram ride or drive away, offers expansive parkland and bushwalking tracks, providing a refreshing change if the homeowner allows the pet to travel further afield. Evenings here are typically quiet, ideal for unwinding after a day outdoors. Local providores along Union Road or nearby Canterbury Road offer fresh produce and essentials for a comfortable home-cooked meal, ensuring your stay is both practical and pleasant.
