Sept 2025 House & Pet sitting 12 day stay

About this assignment

We are ideally looking for a mature responsible and reliable animal loving person or persons, who are happy to live in the countryside with peace & tranquility & beautiful surroundings, to look after our house & animals in our absence & in return we hope that you could enjoy our home. We are taking a 12 day break in September and are intending to take a longer break at Christmas for a period of 4wks. & It would be great if this would suit the same candidate !

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

Caring for our 3 dogs and 1 cats. Walks are optional for the dogs as they are quite content to lounge about all day when they have human company. The cat comes and goes as she pleases and will tell you when she’s hungry! My Aunt also has a dog & he comes to stay a couple of nights a week while she works night shift. He just blends into the household when he’s here!

What are the good features of the property and location

We are located on the outskirts of 2 small villages and 50mtrs distance from beautiful safe walks on the royal canal. We're very outdoor people & we live a peaceful life here, with our pets & vegetable garden. We’re hard working & energetic, but because of our busy lives we don’t get to travel very often, but with the right sitter perhaps this could be a possibility for us going forward!
We spend a lot of time outdoors & we are avid readers, As a result of this we do not have wifi or TV - so this may be a consideration for any would-be sitters, especially if your requirements are remote working. Our dogs are very friendly and loving, they are always happy to make new friends!

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

We live in a quiet reasonably rural country setting with no wifi or TV. There is good mobile phone reception though! A car would be helpful, but we are walking & cycling distance to everything you need! We live in a modern bungalow with a large secure garden. We have a neighbours too, so we are not isolated by any means!

Can I bring my own pets?

Yes
Restrictions: Small friendly dog/s might be suitable!
