About this assignment

A local resident who will enjoy regular walks with our dog and would like some company from our pets. Ideally available to meet out dog a few times prior to the sit so she gets to know you.

Available to sit or have the dog sometimes, for 9 or 10 days between 13-26 August

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

2 dog walks a day minimum. cat and dog feeding twice daily. small amount of vegetable and plant pot watering indoors and out.

What are the good features of the property and location

Light and airy 3 bed semi detached in quiet cul de sac road. Private enclosed garden (house and garden will be tidier than when I took the pictures to upload!). Amazing views from the house. lovely helpful neighbours, tonnes of walking right from the door. a number of great pubs with lovely beer gardens just around the corner and within walking distance. Easy walk into town.

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

Our dog doesnt go to the loo in the garden! so she would need a good 30 min minimum morning walk and a last evening walk/visit to nearby grass for quick bedtime wee! We would prefer her not to be left alone for more than approx 4 hours at a time. She also hates the car so we would prefer her not to have to do car journeys if possible.

Can I bring my own pets?

Yes
Restrictions: If we can meet first

Testimonials

Lovely pets, friendly host and gorgeous countryside

I greatly enjoyed looking after Pepper the dog and Pablo the cat. Pepper is the perfect walking buddy — energetic, sweet-natured, and always excited to explore the stunning Cotswold landscape (which I loved just as much as she did!). Pablo is very relaxed and cuddly, and he enjoyed snuggling up with me on the sofa and at night. Both pets are absolutely adorable and a joy to spend time with. Communication with Alison was easy and friendly right from the start. She was wonderfully helpful during the first days before her family left for their holiday, taking the time to show me some beautiful walking trails nearby and even taking me into the town centre for groceries. She also left detailed maps of further walks, which I really appreciated — there are so many amazing places to discover in the area. Watering the garden each day was a pleasure, especially with the added bonus of harvesting plenty of delicious tomatoes! I’d highly recommend housesitting for Alison, if you’re a keen walker who doesn’t mind the many steep hills in the area. The combination of adorable pets, stunning scenery, and warm hospitality made this a truly wonderful experience. Thanks a lot, Alison!
