About this assignment
Animal loving people, friendly and sociable. They need to be confident handling 3 dogs at the same time. The walk to the park is very short and they can be unleashed in the park.
What responsibilities are required of the house sitter
The House sitters would have to look after the 3 dogs. This means feeding them and walking them twice a day, once in the morning and another time in the evening. There is a local park 2 min walk from the house, where they know the regular dogs and their owners.
Provide the dogs attention and care.
What are the good features of the property and location
My house has a garden, it is located in a very quiet and green residential area. Buses can take to the dlr/train/Elisabeth line or tube stations to London.
There is a local park at 2 min walk, Woods at 10 min walk. Other interesting places are a pub at 8 min walk that also prepares Amazing pizzas, a 50 m outdoor but heated swimming pool at 6 min drive.
What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment
Commuting time in public transport to London is about an hour (less now with the Elisabeth line!). Very quiet and green area, with a golf course near the local park and very very nice people to meet.
Can I bring my own pets?
No, sorry.

Testimonials
Carine and James and the four legged musketeers
It was a joyful stay at the house with the company of four dogs who had quite different personalities, you could compare them to the seven dwarfs. One would sing to get her food, one would playfully steal your shoes and hide it, one would linger along as we walked but as soon as she saw squirrels she suddenly woke up and one would impose himself as the leader of the gang...all together they asked for cuddles and sweets, truly lovely company. The owners were very helpful and caring. Putting me at ease when I first arrived at their home. Furthermore, the house has all the comfort one would need. Public transport is not far away and there is a lot of wooded areas for long walks and an interesting castle nearby. To top it all off, friendly people all around the neighbourhood when walking the dogs. It will be with delightful memories that I remember my stay and I will definitely come back if Carine and James ever need me again.

Dog-sitting in London
I pet-sat for Carine in January 2018 and had a great time caring for her small pack of four sweet dogs. Carine was very welcoming and kind and picked me up from the train station near her workplace, then provided a meal on my first night, before she departed for Georgia. The dogs each have unique personalities and it was fun getting to know them over the week+ I was there. There's a beautiful park near the house where the dogs run and the neighborhood in general is equally lovely, safe, and quiet, perfect for someone like myself who works from home. The house is also quite close to transport so it was easy to get into the heart of London as well. I'd recommend sitting for Carine to anyone who's experienced with and loves dogs. :)

Sweet 4 Pups!
These 4 dogs are loving and active. They are very energetic when it’s food or walk time. They do require a walk in the morning and evening to get their energy out and it’s a joy to watch them trying to catch squirrels. Do not think you can skip the walks, they will not let you. (Half hour generally) After the walk, they are calm and want to be petted and cuddled with, then it’s nap time. If you are not comfortable with energetic dogs, this assignment may not be for you. The house is very nice with modern comforts. There is a backyard the dogs are allowed into. It is a 1 hour commute via public transit to London. The home has stairs to the bedrooms and bath. The owner provides assistance throughout my stay and was easily accessible. Many neighbors and friends available to help with questions. If you do this assignment, when you go to the park, check out the flock of noisy green parakeet.
