We are looking for someone / a couple to look after our two whippets, Chappie and Stella, while we are on holiday for the month of June (from 31 May to 28 June). Chappie is a year and a half and Stella is 8 months old, both are well-trained, have excellent natures and get along very well with each other and with every human they have met so far.
They are active dogs, and usually get walked or run once a day, although they also do a lot of 'self-exercising' in our backyard. They also settle very quickly and are quiet when they are in the house. They absolutely love affection and cuddles.
We live in small, newly renovated house on a quiet street in Torrens, ACT. It has two fully furnished bedrooms and an office. Our house is only five minutes from Woden and minutes from the city centre. Mount Taylor and all of its wonderful walking trails are within a stone's throw.
Our backyard is moderately sized, and fully-fenced in. The dogs have a kennel in the backyard and can be left in the backyard for hours at a time (so both retirees or employed people would suit). They sleep inside at night though.
Otherwise, we just need our indoor plants watered and the mail to be taken in. The outdoor area will be of particularly low maintenance at that time of year.
If you think this could be right for you, please let me know.
