About this assignment

We are ideally looking for a caring couple with a love of animals and the countryside. We have a nice home and all the animals exist in complete harmony as our environment is peaceful and caring. Care and consideration given, ensuring all the animals continue to flourish whilst we are away.

The sitters will need to walk the dogs twice a day. Feed the dogs and the cat. Let the birds out by 8 -8.30am latest and put them to bed, counting them in, at dusk. Feed poultry and change their drinking water. (Chickens, Ducks, and Geese).

What are the good features of the property and location

We are in a great location with direct access to the forest. A four-bedroom house. Secure driveway parking behind tall electric gates.
A lovely forest pub within walking distance. Beaches and market towns nearby. There is a constant supply of fresh eggs from the hens and ducks. Aga is turned on from Nov - March and provides constant heating to an extended area, providing clothes drying with an over-aga rack. Sunroom with a view over the paddock to observe the visiting deer.
Hot tub, we will show you how to operate.

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

House sitters need to be aware of daylight hours to put the birds to bed so Mr Fox does not get any opportunity for dinner.
The dog walks are twice a day, 20 mins before 8.30am and 45 mins around 5pm -6pm. The maximum time they can be left alone is 4-5 hours.
We do not have ANY young children in our lives, so our home is not 'set up' for children. Please do not invite children, grandchildren.
Visits by relatives and friends by prior agreement.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
