About
We are going on holiday for approx. 4 weeks for the festive period in our home country (Scotland) and are looking for someone to sit our house in the semi rural area of Belgrave Heights.
We help run a charity for dogs that have been neglected, abused or abandoned and as such have a bit of a motley crew which for some of you out there might seem a little mad - we currently have 10 dogs that will require looking after, they are mostly of retirment age and are therefore pretty lazy, but do get excited when first meeting new people or in new situations but are generally easy to look after. Our 14 year old has arthiritis but other than that are in good health. We also have chickens that have a run and coup at the rear of our property.
Our house should also be relatively simple to look after, there are four bedrooms, a pool, broadband, various streaming services, an outdoor lounge, and is young child friendly - our daughter is 4 months old so we have the setup one would expect for that.
Our primary concern is someone to take care of the dogs and chickens, the house itself we have a cleaner and a gardener that come every two weeks, so it would only be basic cleaning and watering of the plants. We would prefer someone that is familiar with dogs and chickens, ideally someone who is used to living semi rural.
