Assignment Requirements

We’ll be away for around a month and are looking for someone to care for our home and, more importantly, our two small dogs—Boon and Millie.

Boon is a 10-year-old Bichon-poodle cross with one eye and a very happy, social nature. He loves walks and people time. Millie is a smaller Maltese-poodle cross who is sweet and food-motivated but can be a bit vocal around other dogs (mostly barking). Both require a daily walk and one feed per day.

Boon also takes twice-daily heart medication, which he won’t eat on his own—it needs to be gently pushed down his throat to ensure it’s taken. We’re registered at a local vet who offers free check-ups if needed while we're away.

We’d love to find someone who can be home most of the time, as that’s what the dogs are used to.

During the stay you can have unlimited access to our wi-fi, the speeds of which are more than sufficient to work, including video calls, and stream content as required.

The house is comfortable, with multiple bedroom options.

Other responsibilities are light—putting bins out weekly, collecting the mail, and watering a couple of plants. We also have regular cleaners and lawn mowing services which we can discuss continuing during the sit.

About the Area

ST IVES Sydney, New South Wales
Suburb Insights
St Ives reveals itself as a community defined by its quiet, tree-lined streets and a relaxed cadence. Here, life unfolds with an unhurried grace, a welcome contrast to inner-city rush. Morning dog walks often lead into the extensive bushland bordering the suburb, or a circuit around St Ives Village Green, where local dogs and their owners share the space with a quiet nod of recognition. These well-trodden paths are perfect for maintaining your furry charge's routine, offering scent-rich adventures without needing to venture far. Your daily rhythm will naturally align with the suburb’s peaceful hum. A trip to the St Ives Shopping Village offers convenient access to all essentials, and a handful of casual cafes provide a calm spot for a coffee after an errand, rather than a bustling strip. Getting around for wider exploration or specific pet needs, like vet appointments, is often simplest by car, though buses offer reliable connections to Gordon station for larger journeys. The neighbourhood has an established character, where residents value their privacy yet often offer a friendly wave or a brief chat when passing. Caring for a home and its companions in St Ives involves respecting this calm, allowing your temporary pets to thrive in the spacious surrounds. Expect to become part of this gentle rhythm, where the biggest decision might be which bush track to explore next with your canine friend.
