About this assignment
I'm looking for someone who is ok with solitude. Someone who is kind to animals. Couples, are of course, most welcome to my cottage.
I am looking for a sitter for Sunday 16 November through to Thursday 20 November, as a minimum, but can be flexible a couple of days either side of these dates.
What responsibilities are required of the house sitter
Looking after my two dogs and my hens.
Feeding the dogs and taking them for walks.
Feeding the hens, cleaning out hen coop (if necessary), collecting (and eating!) the eggs.
What are the good features of the property and location
My cottage is very remote, 10 minutes drive to the nearest village! My nearest neighbour is 2km away! So it is very peaceful. There is NO mobile phone coverage but I have excellent internet and Sky TV. The cottage is on 3 acres, surrounded by forestry and also has direct access to The Wicklow Way, Ireland's premier hiking route.
What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment
All applicants must have their own transport as my cottage is very remote - see above. The nearest village is 10 minutes drive away, the nearest supermarket is 30 minutes drive away. SORRY, NO PETS ALLOWED.
Can I bring my own pets?
No, sorry.

Good for the soul
This house sit was gorgeous - two beautiful, cute and friendly dogs - Raya and Twinkle - and some chickens, in a peaceful house in the middle of the Wicklow mountains. The location is stunning with many beautiful walks right in the doorstep. Hermione was so friendly and welcoming and left a comprehensive guide for looking after her pets and was always available on WhatsApp if I needed anything. The house is in a remote area- perfect if you want peace, quiet, solitude and a restful break.

Wonderful Wicklow Pet/housesit
We cared for Hermione's lovely pet dogs, Twinkle and Rhea, poultry and plants for a few days in July 2024 and enjoyed every (but too, too brief) moment of our 'sit.' Hermione showed us in person and instructed us on all that needed to be done re pets and plants and very kindly prepared a meal for us on our arrival. We (humans and canines) all enjoyed walking in the forest by the river - the Wicklow Way is on Hermione's doorstep. Highlights for me, personally - beekeeping (for about 2 mins) and listening to Rhea's barking echo in the valley! We highly recommend a 'sit' at Hermione's.
