Looking for mature age housesitters, preferably a retired couple who are active and security conscious. As it will be winter in Canberra, our pool will be closed down and garden maintenance should be minimal as a gardener is employed when necessary.. We have room for a car or even caravan to park on our driveway. The house is two storied with bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs and living areas and kitchen downstairs. We are located near the major hospital, within 30 minute walking distance (or minutes by car) to a shopping centre, with bus routes into the city at the end of our street. We will have a young German male relative residing outside in our garden flat until mid July - he will be living independanty from the house. We have had successful house sitter arrangements on several occasions during the last decade and would prefer to have the house occupied, the mail collected and some garden pots watered whilst we are absent for months. We are a retired professional couple who enjoy travelling abroad ourselves. Hoping to find a couple who would be willing to house sit through a Canberra winter -in a warm house. There are no animals to take care of at present as our last dog unfortunately died a few years ago.
