House sit AVENEL

11-Aug-2026 – 25-Sep-2026

| 46 Days stay

Responsiveness

We have two friendly, large dogs who are both in good health. Maisie is a 6-year-old German wire hair pointer and Ollie is a 13-year-old labrador. They both are great companions. Maisie loves a daily walk, and Ollie is happy to join a short walk once a week. Maisie and Ollie are largely outdoor dogs and sleep on the deck in kennels but they enjoy spending part of the evening on their mats indoors with us. Maisie especially loves cuddles and pats, and both dogs respond well to everyday commands and attention.

Assignment Requirements

Our 3 bedroom fully furnished home in Central Victoria is located on 3.5 acres, plenty of room for a caravan or mobile home. We enjoy a very friendly community located close to some bigger towns and well known wineries and eateries.

We would love a retired, active professional couple who love dogs and are non-smokers however we are happy to consider all offers.

We would love to meet our sitters well prior to the house sit and acquaint you with our dogs. Our family in Melbourne are happy to assist with doggy care some weekends if you need to get away to travel. We also have some wonderful neighbors who can help with occasional dog feeding and walks if you need to get away for a day or two.
