Hi there, my name is Amber. I have recently moved to beautiful Dover Heights. We live in a beautiful Art Deco house with a large backyard, about 15 minutes walk from Bondi Beach (you can also see a bit of the ocean from our house). The house is a three bedroom house (we have made one of the rooms an office), and is fully furnished, complete with hammock, bikes to ride, and surfboards to use. We have internet, but no TV (there is a TV and an HDMI cord to plug laptop into it, but it is not connected to an aerial as we never use it). The garden's are a little bit wild, so if gardening is your thing feel free to get involved! (We are planning on planting some veggies and other plants so if you have a desire we could include a plant budget). I also have a few pot plants that need to be watered.

My partner and I are both going to be away for work between the 5th of January to the 25th of January. I will be home briefly between the 18th and 20th of January and would like to sleep at the house for those two nights while you are there.

We have a beautiful Kelpie-cross called Dermontt that needs looking after! He is well-trained, and an inside and outside dog. He is 15months old, he can be active if you are, but basically he just chills out if that's what you are doing. He has recently had a small operation on both of his elbows, he will be about one month post-op by the time you are here, which means he can go for short quiet walks only, and can't get too excited and run around dog parks until the six week mark.

I would like the person/people who house sit, to stay at our house for the entire duration for Dermontt's sake. However, he will keep himself entertained in the big backyard if you want to go out for the day.

Please email me if you are interested! I look forward to hearing from you.

Amber.

About the Area

DOVER HEIGHTS Sydney, New South Wales
Suburb Insights
Navigating Dover Heights primarily involves walking and local bus routes. The 380 or 381 bus provides direct access to Bondi Junction for broader retail and train connections, or north to Watsons Bay. For daily needs, a twenty-minute walk, or short bus trip, reaches Rose Bay North village, where you’ll find a supermarket, pharmacy, and several casual cafes for your morning coffee. This accessibility makes grocery runs manageable, even with a pet waiting. Factor in the area’s undulating terrain; comfortable shoes are indispensable for errands or simply exploring. Your charge's daily exercise will likely involve the stunning clifftop paths. Diamond Bay Reserve offers spectacular ocean views and a well-maintained walking track perfect for dog walking, extending south towards Ben Buckler. Hugh Bamford Reserve, further inland, provides larger open spaces suitable for off-leash play, though always check local signage. These routes offer both the pet fresh air and you a chance to appreciate the unique coastal environment. Vet services are available in nearby Rose Bay or Bondi. Embrace the residential quietude of Dover Heights. Evenings often involve local walks with your companion, watching the sunset over the ocean. While the immediate area is calm, efficient bus links mean Bondi Beach's energy is a short ride away if you need a change of pace. Plan your outings around the bus schedule, particularly later in the evening, to ensure smooth returns. This area allows for a serene routine while keeping essential services and recreational options within easy reach.
