Three Fabulous Terriers

About this assignment

🐾 Three Fabulous Terriers – Somerset Levels 🐾

We’re looking for a lovely, reliable and experienced couple as part of an unpaid sit who genuinely enjoy dogs to care for our three much-loved terriers from 3rd December until late afternoon on 6th December.

Buddy, Dotty and Ted are a wonderful trio – affectionate, friendly, fun and full of character! ❤️

🐶 Buddy – our fun-loving Lakeland who adores his ball and positive reassurance.

🐶 Dotty – adorable, endearing and a professional manipulator! 😂
🐶 Ted – our gentle, sensitive and sensible Border, generally quiet but with his opinions about a few village dogs! 😂

They’re active terriers and can be keen and strong at the start of a walk, settling after the first few minutes. They stay on leads with sitters due to selective hearing 😂 and may occasionally react to certain dogs locally, so some experience and confidence with terriers is important.

In return, enjoy our comfortable modern home in peaceful Moorlinch, beautiful Somerset Levels countryside and walks on the doorstep – plus a lovely pub just 120 metres away!

We’d particularly suit a settled couple who genuinely want to enjoy the dogs and countryside, rather than simply looking for somewhere to stay.

Couple only • Own transport essential • Unpaid sit

If three fabulous terriers and a few peaceful days in Somerset sound like your kind of break, we’d love to hear from you! 🐾😊

What are the good features of the property and location

We have a detached home, on a hillside within the village of Moorlinch and Somerset Levels, plus a local pub that's just 120 meters away at the foot of the hill which serves great food too!
We live in a very quiet area with access to wonderful walks with stunning views.
Explore the Somerset Levels in the glorious South West!
There are an array of interesting places to visit locally and regionally, i.e., Street, Glastonbury, Taunton, Bristol, Bath, Cheddar, Wells, Wiltshire and Dorset just an hours drive away!

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

We are offering a stay in our comfortable home in exchange for caring for our friendly, affectionate, energetic dogs that require two good walks a day come rain or shine. They have strong hunting instincts, therefore need to be kept on leads, as they have a tendency sometimes to have severe hearing loss!! Whilst these are small and medium sized terriers they are strong if they scent a rabbit or fox on walks - therefore experience, firmness and kindness are essential.

Being a semi-rural location a car is necesssry. Public transport runs Mon-Fri between 0800 and 4.00pm.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
