Assignment Requirements

Hello. I have two mini schnauzers, and I'm looking for someone to house sit for me over Christmas (21/12 to 29/12 - might be a few days less, not sure yet), and care for them in my absence. They are 12 and 10 - Murphy and Sammy. They need to be walked daily, but there is a great doggy park over the road from where I live. I have a ground floor apartment in a great location in Elsternwick. Close to transport, plenty of restaurants and cafe's, the cinema, Elwood beach, and you can easily get to the city if you wish. I have a guest bathroom and Guest bedroom that have never been used, for you to stay in. My dogs are quite needy with regards to time you are with them. They aren't annoying and not super playful most of the time, but they love company, so you will need to be home alot with them, ideally.

Suburb Insights
Settling into an Elsternwick home means embracing a rhythm marked by quiet mornings and neighbourly nods. Here, the residential streets, often canopied by mature trees, offer immediate, pleasant routes for the household's dog walks, just steps from the front door. The feeling is one of established comfort, where routines are easily woven into the fabric of daily life without rush. For four-legged companions, Hopetoun Gardens provides a contained green space, while Harleston Park a little further boasts popular off-leash zones where local dogs congregate at predictable times. A short walk west leads to Elwood Beach, which welcomes dogs during designated hours – a chance for a brisk seaside stroll before returning for a coffee along Glen Huntly Road, where several establishments offer outdoor seating suitable for a leashed pet. Local shops cater to everyday needs, reducing the reliance on extensive travel. The Elsternwick train station, a hub for the Sandringham line, provides easy access to the city, yet the area itself encourages a more localised existence. Your days will unfold with the gentle ebb and flow of a well-rooted community, where familiar faces become part of the morning commute for school or work. Caring for the home and its pets here feels less like a task and more like settling into a comfortable, established way of living, appreciating the quiet hum of a neighbourhood that values its tranquil character.
