My wife and I are going to be travelling Australia for three months from 24 April to 23 July 2015 and would like experienced housesitters over the period. We have a dog, Gus. Gus is mainly a black lab but has some collie as well. He will be 7 in March but still thinks he is a puppy. He can be a handful on occasions. He has been trained and has had some dog-socialisation. He is very people friendly and sleeps indoors on the floor. We live in a 4 bedroom house on 1/4 acre close to 2 major shopping centres but removed from main roads. It is a fairly quiet area. We have lived here since 1979 and the neighbours are good. Our yard may need mowing over the period but all cuttings can be added to a compost. We would like at least one house sitting reference please.
