About this assignment
I'm looking for someone who is ok with solitude. Someone who is kind to animals. Couples, are of course, most welcome to my cottage.
I'm looking for house sitters on the following dates:
Monday 20 January to Friday 24 January 2025
Wednesday 12 February to Saturday 15 February
Friday 21 February to Monday 24 February 2025
Thursday 6 March to Tuesday 11 March
Monday 12 May to Sunday 18 May
Tuesday 24 June to Saturday 28 June
Wednesday 9 July to Saturday 12 July
Wednesday 23 July to Tuesday 29 July
Sunday 19 October to Friday 24 October
Sunday 16 November to Thursday 20 November
The above dates are the MINIMUM requirement for your stay, so there is flexibility of a few days either side of the above dates.
What responsibilities are required of the house sitter
Looking after my two dogs and my hens.
Feeding the dogs and taking them for walks.
Feeding the hens, cleaning out hen coop (if necessary), collecting (and eating!) the eggs.
What are the good features of the property and location
My cottage is very remote, 10 minutes drive to the nearest village! My nearest neighbour is 2km away! So it is very peaceful. There is NO mobile phone coverage but I have excellent internet and Sky TV. The cottage is on 3 acres, surrounded by forestry and also has direct access to The Wicklow Way, Ireland's premier hiking route.
What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment
All applicants must have their own transport as my cottage is very remote - see above. The nearest village is 10 minutes drive away, the nearest supermarket is 30 minutes drive away. SORRY, NO PETS ALLOWED.
Can I bring my own pets?
No, sorry.

Hi, we spent a few days at Hermione's THIS summer - July 2024! F

Wonderful Wicklow Pet/housesit
We cared for Hermione's lovely pet dogs, Twinkle and Rhea, poultry and plants for a few days in July 2023 and enjoyed every (but too, too brief) moment of our 'sit.' Hermione showed us in person and instructed us on all that needed to be done re pets and plants and very kindly prepared a meal for us on our arrival. We (humans and canines) all enjoyed walking in the forest by the river - the Wicklow Way is on Hermione's doorstep. Highlights for me, personally - beekeeping (for about 2 mins) and listening to Rhea's barking echo in the valley! We highly recommend a 'sit' at Hermione's.
