House and dog sit in beautiful English country for the new year. Lovely reception rooms with log burners and kitchen with Aga. There are 4 bedrooms with beds for 7/8.

About this assignment

We are looking for someone who will look after our house and dog as if they were their own. Daphne is good natured and friendly and used to being looked after by house sitters. She requires 1 walk/day.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

The main responsibility will be care of our labrador. In spring and summer there will be pots to water and grass to cut and light housework.

What are the good features of the property and location

Our property is in an area of outstanding natural beauty with excellent travel links and wonderful walks on the doorstep. Flatford Mill, owned by the National Trust, is a mile away and you can follow in the footsteps of the artist John Constable. The east coast is 35 mins drive away.

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

The house is in a village with an excellent village shop, bakery and pubs but it will be easier if you have your own transport. Daphne is very used to going in the car so is fine to be taken out and about.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
