Mount Lawley, Western Australia

About this house sitting position in Mount Lawley

Seeking a reliable & caring house/pet sitter from 2 May to 28 May 25.

Preference is for a single, quiet, mature person who doesn’t want to bring their pet & who’s happy to spend a lot of time at home. Perhaps you work from home or just like being at home. We have good NBN service & can provide use of the study if required.

Located just north of Perth city, a 5 minute drive into the city or a 30-40 minute walk if you’re up for it. There are plenty of cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, hairdressers, in close proximity in the suburbs of North Perth, Mount Lawley, Inglewood, Bayswater.

The suburb is a safe, quiet, leafy area comprised of mostly older style homes. Our property, built in 1937, has recently undergone extensive renovation & refurb to bring it up to contemporary standards internally including aircon, heating, security, whilst it retains its character externally.

We offer a double bedroom, bathroom, laundry, large open family/dining/kitchen area where there’s a lovely outlook into a park setting.
We have an unfenced front yard with carport (not suitable for a caravan). At the rear there’s indoor/outdoor flow to a large covered deck area with a few steps (or a ramp) down to the lawned area.

Bedrooms, lounge, main bathroom & powder room are on street level. Guest bedroom, bathroom, laundry, study & the informal areas including kitchen are down 9 steps. I mention this as it may not be suitable if steps are an issue.

Netflix, Foxtel, Paramount+ available.

We keep the house clean & tidy at all times & would expect no less from a sitter. The care requirements for outside can obviously be discussed but we don’t anticipate any major gardening at that time of year other than watering pot plants & some leaf raking. Property has bore reticulation.
There is no pool to attend to.

Our priority is the care & wellbeing of our 2 dogs. They are 4 year old male & female English cocker spaniels, litter brother & sister who are very bonded, sweet natured, playful & puppy like.
They enjoy a good play/rumble with each other out the back each day & only on the odd occasion do they annoy each other.
They’re house trained & have the run of house but under no circumstances are they allowed outside the front door. The property is well secured at the sides & back for their safety.

We don’t expect the dogs to be walked as they’ll get enough exercise playing each day & they’re not the most cooperative walkers.
We have a doggy door which they make good use of. In the evening after their dinner they’ll settle down quietly in the family room. They’ll follow you around so expect 4 extra pairs of feet wherever you go.

The dogs are only able to be left on their own for around 3 -4 hours & under no circumstances can they be left alone overnight. They’re both healthy though there are some specific feeding requirements (which are documented).
