Looking for a sitter to care for our beloved dog, Linkin, while we go overseas for almost 6 weeks :)

Small, clean home on a large town block. No yard/garden maintenance needed (unless you enjoy it, then feel free to tinker away!). Couple of easy to care for indoor plants - if I can keep them alive then anyone can!

It gets very cold in Mount Barker and our only form of heating is a wood heater, so it's a must that you're comfortable lighting and maintaining a fire safely - it would be a chilly stay without it!

Linkin is fairly low maintenance but loves a walk each day and to be fed morning and evening. I take him on 2 walks a day (before and after work), but once is fine if that's what fits your schedule. Our normal routine is about 4-5km total over the 2 walks but he'd be absolutely fine with less than that - he's slowing down a bit now that he's 11 years old!

Linkin isn't super cuddly but will probably try to sleep on your bed and sit on the couch with you unless you tell him not to!

He's fine to be left by himself during the day if he's had a walk in the morning, so you're free to get out and explore the area.

He's fully house trained and we've got a dog door so he lets himself in and out as needed.

If you're okay with having him in your car then he loves a ride and will be very happy to be included!
