About this assignment

Responsible single person or couple who will mind my house and cat and dog while I am visiting family in the UK later this year. Non-smoker preferred. It would suit someone who appreciates a quieter pace of life and understands the Caribbean.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

Keeping the house clean and tidy, looking after my dog and cat. Making dog food (easy) Watering a few plants. Letting me know if the grass in the yard (garden) needs a trim and I can then arrange. Sending me the odd photo of my dog!

What are the good features of the property and location

I have a fantastic view and am on the local bus route to the main town of Hillsborough. Beaches are in easy reach by bus or walking. Decent supermarkets in Hillsborough or Harveyvale, local shop for basics 5 mins away. The house is a small one bedroom house, living room, kitchen and washroom and verandah.

What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment

This is a tropical climate, there are mosquitos, although I do have mesh on windows, a few still manage to get in. I do not have air-con, but find a fan and open window more than adequate. I do not have a TV, but very good wi-fi. I have an automatic washing machine, fridge freezer and small chest freezer. No hot water!!! I do not have a vehicle, altho car rentals are available.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
