- Dog(s)
Dates
- 2 Oct 2025 to 16 Oct 2025 (Only 1 sitter has applied for these dates)
About this assignment
We are looking for responsible individuals, ideally early birds. Kind to animals of course and nature lovers, as we are in a beautiful countryside.
What responsibilities are required of the house sitter
We will ask you to feed our two dogs, Heli and Shané, twice a day, to be present at the house (no travelling elsewhere during the house-sitting period), to walk them in the countryside once a day, and to cuddle them and communicate with them ! You will also need to send us regular updates. And, of course, to keep our house and garden clean and tidy.
What are the good features of the property and location
We are in a very charming countryside in the Brindisi, Puglia. The house is small and charming, with wifi and everthing to make you confortable. The garden is fantastic and there is everything to feel good there. A bike or a car is needed to join the villages as they are at 5km and 8km from the house.
What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment
Our two dogs get along very well. Big Heli is very homely and cuddly, while little Shané is more independent and loves running around.
It is possible that two friends may come and park their camper on the property for a few days. They will be discreet if this is the case.
Can I bring my own pets?
No, sorry.

Gorgeous Puglia & best dog ever!
Clarisse & Christopher's home is first off, stunning. It has everything you would expect in a Pugliese style home, including many trulli around the location which adds such historic feels. Héli their black lab, is the best behaved and kind dog I have ever met! I enjoyed our daily walks and his company truly made me feel at home and safe. I would recommend Clarisse's home for a genuine Puglia experience especially for its location!

So enjoyable!
This was such a great place to sit an adorable cat! I loved the beautiful countryside, homeowners were lovely, and while patcha wasn’t as friendly as some cats she was absolutely delightful. Fun to watch her dash about and sweet when she wanted some love. Sad I was only here for a week. I would do this sit again in a heartbeat!!

Lovely winter in puglian countryside with dog Heli
I was super lucky to find this (last-minute) sit and and to be able spend 3 winter months in a quiet publian countryside with the sweetest dog ever. The story of this dog is touching by itself - he is a stray dog that picked this house to live and the owners fell in love with him. Even though it's a summer house mostly they wanted to provide him care and food all year long. Heli is big but makes no harm and is very friendly to everyone. The house is not fenced so he goes whenever he likes but stays mostly around the house and sleeps a lot. Gets food twice a day and is happy to have company. No walks needed. The house is very small but cosy. Super quiet, which I love! It's 5 km from the nearest town Carovigno and no public transport here so it's good to have at least a bicycle like me. The area and region is wonderful, close to the sea and full of olive trees, beautiful towns. Just wantever you might expect from the south of Italy. There is wifi but it might get tricky sometimes (like when it's windy) - I managed to work online giving online classes though. During winter it gets humid and chilly so you need to use wood burner to heat the place. Most of the days were sunny though, which is great. The owners are aboslutely fantastic and provide help whenever needed, you can write to them any time. I originally was to spend here 1 month but it got prolonged to 3, I would willingly stay for the 4th but have another housesitting assignment planned. I hope Heli gets respectful and loving human company in the future.
