Assignment Requirements

We are looking for someone to look after our dog Poppy while we travel. She is a Rhodesian Ridgeback cross born in November 2016. For this breed and size she is now considered a Senior (older) dog.

The house is a two floor suburban house in Glenhaven, a suburb in the Northwest of Sydney near Castle Hill. Housesitter accommodation is the guest bedroom on the first floor with access to its own recently renovated bathroom with bath, shower, toilet and vanity/sink.

The house backs onto a bush reserve and there is a lot of bird life that comes into the back garden.

We are 5 min walk from local shops, 4 other major shopping centers within 10 min drive, 2 NW Metro stations are 4 min away (one with a commuter car park) and the 603 bus runs down the street.

Poppy generally has the traits associated with Ridgebacks. She enjoys hunting (sniffing out mostly), shows intelligence, has a strong character and is very independent. She loves being with her family and generally gets along well with other dogs and people. She needs to be walked about 1 hour a day.

She is fed morning and evening. Morning feed includes some oral medication. Detailed instructions will be provided.

Suburb Insights
In Glenhaven morning with a dawn chorus through established gum trees. We live in a quiet street, where friendly nods over garden fences create a gentle community rhythm. It’s a place that offers a calm sanctuary away from urban hustle. Daily dog walks are a joy. Expansive verges invite leisurely sniffing on tree-lined street walks, while nearby bushland trails in local reserves offer invigorating scents for adventurous canines. Meanwhile, the local shops provide a convenient stop for groceries or a fresh coffee, meaning essentials are always close by. While Castle Hill offers larger retail just a short drive away, Glenhaven’s true appeal lies in its distinctly peaceful, village-like atmosphere.
