About
Hi,
My husband and I are looking at going away in September and need some to look after our house and fur babies. We have a small 2 bedroom house with a courtyard and small garden at the front and back of the house with off street parking.
Walking distance to bus stop, train station, restaurants and cafes in Beaumont Street, main street of Hamilton.
We have 3 pets - 1 dog, 2 cats.
Max and Charlie are indoor cats only and Bandit the poodle who is well toilet trained but will let you know when he needs to go out. He understands the word 'toi' and he goes out first thing in the morning or when I walk him before going to work. Unfortunately Max learnt how to use the doggy door and was fine until he got hit by a car. He's good as gold however I will not let him out anymore as he will not stay in the yard.
We're looking for someone who likes gardening and walking daily although sometimes Bandit only gets a walk around the block, but he does enjoy longer walks.
Thanks.
