About this assignment

Currently looking for someone who can stay some or all of 21 Dec to 5 Jan (some flexibility here). If interested, please get in touch!

We are looking for someone tidy and responsible who will enjoy spending time with our Golden Retrievers Oakley and Willow. We have a lot of wonderful trails and footpaths around the house, so someone who enjoys walks with our dogs would be ideal. Otherwise, just a friendly and reliable person (or couple!). Children welcome but please contact me to discuss.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

We ask our sitters to help with feeding the dogs twice a day, and taking them for a daily walk or two in the local village

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

Must have a car and be a non-smoker (please do not ask me if you can sit without a car).

Currently looking for someone who can stay 21 Dec to 5 Jan. However the dates are somewhat flexible so please do get in touch if this is similar to what you're interested in.

Testimonials

A lovely sit in Wisley, England

Ariel was a delight to house sit for. She's kind and genuinely interested in people, and went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and welcome. She went over everything in advance before the sit, and left detailed instructions and tips for my time there. I felt prepared to care for Oakley and Willow, her two golden retrievers. The bedroom provided for my stay was very beautiful and comfortable. The house is well-located for visiting local highlights - including the incredible RHS Wisley Garden just a short walk down the street - as well as trips into London or the Surrey Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Puppies and playtime in scenic area with easy access to London

Ariel and Charlie are fantastic people with a couple of fantastic dogs! Willow and Oakley were so well behaved and easy to care for. My partner and I were able to explore the area with dogs in tow (as most places nearby are dog friendly!), and the places we couldn’t bring the pups, we found we only visited once, because we had much more fun with them than without them! The cottage is spacious and clean, great facilities and perfect location to pop to the train station and catch a ride out to London for a few hours. Don’t miss a great opportunity to make new friends (human and canine), and enjoy a quiet holiday in the woods!
