I would like the Housesitter to be tidy and considerate of my home as I am very house proud person and it is a very easy to look after!
The dogs need to be walked and fed twice daily - indoor house plants to be kept watered - bins to be put out when necessary!
The property is in walking distance to the village shop. The house is surrounded by fields which the dogs can be walked in. Parking and WiFi
A car is necessary as it is out in the country and there is no bus service so the sitter needs to like the peaceful country side.
No, sorry.
Testimonials
Grateful for a Special Stay with Pippa and Tilly
Staying in Susan’s home for two months was truly a gift — an experience we will carry with us for a long time. Her home is not just a place to live; it feels like a sanctuary. Surrounded by open fields, nature, flowers, birdsong, and beautiful artistic touches, it creates a deep sense of peace and presence. And at the very heart of this special place are Pippa and Tilly, the true soul and gentle rhythm of the home. Being with them each day made the experience not only meaningful, but deeply joyful. We felt truly honoured by the trust Susan placed in us to care for her home and her girls while she was away. That level of trust is something we deeply respected, and we took great care to ensure everything was held with attention and responsibility. Pippa and Tilly are incredibly special, loving, gentle, and full of character. They brought warmth, companionship, and life into every day, and it was honestly hard to say goodbye to them. Susan herself was wonderful throughout the entire experience. Her communication was clear and thoughtful, and everything was organised, which made caring for both the home and the dogs feel natural and easy. She created a perfect balance being supportive and available, while also giving us the space to fully settle into the home. We are deeply grateful for this experience and would return in a heartbeat if the opportunity ever arises again. Being part of Susan’s home and caring for Pippa and Tilly was something truly special.
