35 MINUTES BY TRAIN TO LONDON (WATERLOO)

About this assignment

A couple, or a single person who will enjoy our space, look after the house as if it were theirs, keep it clean and tidy and endeavour to make it look lived in.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

1. We have our small cat, Sonia, who needs care. She is an outside cat and needs feeding twice daily. She likes company and loves jumping onto a warm lap. 2. We have a lovely garden. We want it taken care of by watering and mowing it
when necessary and generally keeping it tidy. 3. We have a tiny vegetable patch and our sitters are welcome to pick tomatoes, spinach, beans.

What are the good features of the property and location

Very well situated for the M25 and A3, on the local bus route to Kingston-upon-Thames and Staines and five minutes walk to the local town centre where there is a supermarket, cinema, church, pubs, shops and restaurants. We are in the vicinity of several National Trust properties and we are a short drive to RHS Wisley and Hampton Court Palace. If you like walking, there are some interesting walks in the area. Cycling is good too and you may use our bikes. Garson Farm is nearby, where you can ‘pick your own’ - which is nice. We have off road car parking.

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

If you like gardens, this place is for you. There is ample space for practising yoga or sitting and watching the squirrels, birds and our resident fox too. There may be utility costs to be paid for the duration of your stay (electricity and gas) and the couple will be made familiar with the burglar alarm system.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
