Two sweet dogs & a house in Cornwall - MAY & DECEMBER! :-)

About this assignment

* HOPING TO FIND A SITTER FOR DECEMBER TOO from 9th/10th*

You will need to be trustworthy, reliable, patient and dog loving.

One of our pups is nervous of new people, especially men. As he was abused by a man before we rescued him.
He trusts females much more quickly.
So, we will only consider females or a couple.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

Walk, feed and love the pups.

We do have a few plants, which we would like you to water as well.

We live near a big field, so you can take them there or go further afield. There are a some nice walks around our area, and both dogs travel well in a car, on the bus or in a taxi if you didn’t wish to walk.

Feed them both one meal a day - they are on a raw meat diet, so you'll have to be okay handling that.

Do not leave them for long periods - we work from home, and we do usually take them anywhere we go, so they are used to being with us a lot but they can be left for short periods, no longer than 3 hours preferably (we can discuss this).

What are the good features of the property and location

We live in Truro, Cornwall, not too far from a beautiful park, where there is a coffee shop.

We are 10/15 minute walk into the centre which has a selection of nice cafes, restaurants and shops.

You’ll also find the bus station, which is great for exploring.

Cornwall has some incredibly sights to see, you can take a bus to some stunning spots all around Cornwall, such as Newquay, Padstow, Perranporth and Porthtowan where you will find incredible beaches and lovely restaurants too if you’re a foodie we can point you in the right direction. ?

To go further, the train station is about 25/30 minute walk.

We have some beautiful woodlands, pretty parks and stunning beaches not too far away.

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

One of our pups, is 17, she is fit and healthy though and still likes to play a lot.

Our younger pup is a rescue who was severely abused and abandoned. He was only several months old when we rescued him.

He is under 2 years old, and is the sweetest, softest boy.
He has come so far from when we first collected him, but he is still very nervous of new people, and is even more scared of men - so no single men.

He adapts really quickly though, as he can’t resist snacks and a game of fetch or frisbee.

All this will be discussed thoroughly in detail before you come.

Can I bring my own pets?

Yes
Restrictions: Possible to bring your own, if we can arrange a meet & greet before.
