Looking after the dog, which means feeding her and walking her twice a day - morning and evening; provide the attention and care, and looking after the house.
What are the good features of the property and location
The house has a garden and is located in a very quiet and green residential area. Buses will take you to the Elizabeth Line, DLR or train or tube stations into London. The Elizabeth line will get you into town very quickly indeed. The local park is a 2 minute walk, and Oxleas Woods, with Severndroog Castle, just a 10 minute walk. Other interesting places are Greenwich with its Observatory, market and museums, a 50m outdoor heated pool and gym is 6 minutes' drive away. Shrewsbury House has a bar that opens some nights.

Commuting via public transport into central London is about an hour. A green and tranquil area, with a golf course near the park, a tennis club and very nice people to meet.

No, sorry.

Pleasant house sit in a great green area
We looked after James and Carine’s home and buddies for three weeks and during our stay we had plenty of time to explore the local neighborhood, which has a lovely, relaxed vibe — it’s a very green and quiet area. It was also possible to hop on public transport and head into central London. Although the situation was not the easiest due to some health problems of one of the two dogs, both of them were adorable and loving and we quickly got used to their cuddling requests and habits, especially the walks at the beautiful park a few minutes from home. James and Carine are nice and pleasant people, they were great to communicate with, always responsive and clear. Plus, they were kind enough to invite us to share some meals with them before they left, which was such a warm way to start the sit.

Lovely House Sit in London
Brian and I had a wonderful stay in the Greenwich Borough of London house/pet sitting for James and Carine. Their two friendly dogs made our stay feel like home; the easy routine of feeding and walking them in one of the many pretty parks nearby framed our days and gave us the opportunity to meet many of their friendly neighbors. The community in which they live is very welcoming -- we enjoyed exploring both the local area and taking easy public transportation to sightsee in London proper. It was a short walk to the bus line which delivered us promptly to the train for an easy commute to the heart of London. Homeowners James and Carine were very organised, communicative and answered our occasional question promptly. They were kind enough to include the two of us in meals we had together before (and after) they left on their travels. A great house/pet sit!!
