About

We have two large dogs and a cat that need looking after whilst we are away. We have a dog walker on Mondays and Fridays so its not imperative that you walk them. Our white dog is a runner so you cannot take him off leash unless the area is enclosed. We have had numerous complaints from council(neighbour) over the dogs barking. We use bark collars and training collars. We havent had to use them in months.
Sometimes we just show it to the dogs and tell them off and that is enough to stop the barking. The dogs are not indoor dogs and are not to be let into the house. Feeding the dogs entails cooking up rice and veg to give them plus dry food. We have a very large two story house. We have 2 spare rooms with queen beds, so welcome our sitters to come and stay a day before the sit and after. We usually have dinner with our sitters before we go. Our cat was adopted January 2023, his name is Murphy and he only has one eye. At the time of writing this ad he is still very scared and hides. He doesn't eat much and it's just a case of getting him and putting him in the laundry to make sure he eats although overnight I think he uses the litter box and eats when no one is around. The pool is self sufficient and we really don't want you doing anything to it other than skim leaves if required and dump water if it rains too much. Just enjoy it. We have a gardener to mow the lawns. We are in a cul de sac so parking is at a premium. The garage will have one spot available for you. Bin days are Wednesday night for Thursday collection. We would like someone who will open the house up to air it out as the humidity makes things mouldy/ stagnant. We have air con but we rarely use it. We usually let the breeze cool the house or use the aircon for 1-2hrs during the day to cool it, using the solar. All bedrooms have ceiling fans.
