Chapman, Australian Capital Territory

About this house sitting position in Chapman

We live 12 km from the Canberra city centre where major tourist attractions are in abundance and very close to each other, we're only minutes to the Canberra hospital, the National Arboretum, National Zoo and Aquarium, two major shopping centres and just walking distance to our local shops.
Our spacious spotless NON
smoking house is tri level (this means stairs ...made from tree logs) so not suitable for the less mobile. Grand piano, inverter Airconditioning, wood combustion stove for winter heating ( must have experience) , lock up garage. Wifi , easy to maintain small garden are a couple of the home comforts for you to enjoy.
We own an adorable 5yo Welsh Terrier called "Kipper". He has a beautiful temperament, loves cuddles, walks, and games. He is an indoor pooch so please don't apply if you plan to turf him outdoors 24/7 the moment you arrive! He is well disciplined (obedience school) and loves visitors. He sleeps and loves camping in his oversized crate at night so you don't have to worry about him roaming around the house at night disturbing you.
All we ask of our house sitter is to give Kipper daily exercise, plenty of kind attention, water the odd plant, check for mail but most of all enjoy your time in Canberra.
Our house is not set up to cater for children sorry (maybe one day when our first grandchild presents itself).
Our preferred house sitters are mature couples who have experience with dogs and who are semi/retired, or can work and spend Time with Kipper who is used to having regular company . Especially suited to those building/renovating their own home and needing somewhere to stay in the meantime or visiting family in Canberra.

We look forward to hearing from you. Read more...
