Assignment Requirements

Hello, and thank you for viewing our message.

We have a lovely four-bedroom home located in a quiet court in beautiful Bayside, South-East Victoria. We are just a five-minute drive from the Mordialloc foreshore and about half an hour from Mornington and its surrounding winery region. Our home features a spacious back garden and is close to local parkland.

Pets

We are seeking a responsible single person or couple to care for our 11-year-old Cocker Spaniel and our 13-year-old cat. Our dog is friendly, fun, and enjoys daily walks, so we are looking for someone with the energy to walk him each day. We would also prefer someone who is home for most of the time. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate children.

Our cat is very quiet and keeps to himself. Please note that he is diabetic and requires two insulin doses per day administered via an insulin pen. We kindly ask that you respond only if you feel confident providing this simple twice-daily injection.

About the Area

DINGLEY VILLAGE Melbourne, Victoria
Suburb Insights
Settling into Dingley Village means embracing a residential rhythm, a good fit for routine pet care. Morning walks with your canine companion might involve the extensive paths of Dingley Reserve, offering plenty of space for exercise away from busy roads. Alternatively, Dales Road Bushland Reserve provides a natural setting, where kangaroos are sometimes spotted, making for a distinct stroll within easy reach of many homes. For daily necessities, Dingley Village Shopping Centre provides a Woolworths and several smaller shops, all within easy reach, often a short walk or quick drive. Grab a coffee at one of the village cafes, like The Gathering Place, a convenient stop after a morning walk. Veterinary clinics are also clustered around the main shopping area, ensuring peace of mind should any pet health needs arise during your stay. While local errands are manageable, a car offers the most flexibility for exploring beyond Dingley's immediate confines. Buses connect the village to train stations like Mordialloc or Springvale for trips into the city, but their frequency varies, so checking schedules is advised. A drive to Mordialloc Beach for a change of scenery with a water-loving dog takes under fifteen minutes, or head to Braeside Park for more extensive off-leash areas and bushwalking trails.
