I am seeking a reliable, trustworthy housesitter who is retired or works from home, and who loves dogs and gardening. My pet is a Kelpie x, who weighs about 20 kg. Because my pet is an indoor dog, I need somebody who is not out all day for long periods. The dog needs two walks a day. The house is a 22 year old single storey building, located close to a shopping centre, public transport, and sporting facilities. There are many walk trails which are ideal for dog walking. The house has only a small garden. However there are quite a lot of plants which will require regular watering. Some minor pruning may also be needed. No mowing is required as this is done by somebody else.
