About this assignment
Kind, caring animal lovers who enjoy walking would be ideal.
Someone who loves dogs and cats, who will walk our fox red Labrador boy and feed and care for our all pets while we are away. So animal lovers really! Our house and location would suit fans of the countryside, walks, good pubs in the area and who might be happy to water our garden if its sunny and warm!
What responsibilities are required of the house sitter
Daily walks for our labrador, feeding both him and our two (very low maintenance!) cats, possibly watering our plants and the garden if its warm and sunny. And thats about it. We have a cleaner who comes weekly.
What are the good features of the property and location
We are located in a village in South Oxfordshire, 3 miles from the beautiful market town of Henley on Thames and with excellent bus links into central Reading. We have countryside walks on our doorstep where we walk our dog every day without the need to drive anywhere. Although we are also within easy driving distance of the River Thames where there are beautiful walks and the dog can have a swim! We have several very good pubs within walking distance who are renowned for their great food. Plus the village itself has a small supermarket, cafe, butchers, post office, chemist and other very useful amenities a 5 minute walk away. Our house is detached with a large drive for parking and a peaceful garden for relaxing in. We have recently refurbished our kitchen area into a large open plan space with a dining area and a sun room / sitting area, plus we have two other separate lounge areas to relax in with full Sky TV, Netflix, Wi-Fi etc.. We have 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms so plenty of space to stay comfortably in our home and enjoy the space and our animals.
What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment
We have three animals which require care and attention while we are away and that is really the only consideration we feel there is when thinking about sitting our home. Its a straightforward house to live in.
Can I bring my own pets?
No, sorry.

Beautiful stay with a fantastic dog and 2 great cats!
We had a wonderful time at Hannah and Dan’s. We arrived the evening before they were leaving for their holiday to a very warm and friendly welcoming, we immediately felt relaxed and at home. The house is lovely, clean and comfortable and easy to look after. 2 calm and friendly cats and their dog, Rapha was brilliant!...very affectionate and playful and great out on walks...easy off lead in the woods and fields in the surrounding area ( and there is an endless choice of walking, well signposted footpaths / bridleways etc that you can walk for hours...beautiful countryside!) The river is maybe a 10 min drive away ...again fantastic river walks and the area has a mass of beautiful villages and towns to visit....pub lunches, cafes, shops if you need it's got everything really! Hannah and Dan also have a great garden to relax in... We would highly recommend this house and pet sit and we will definitely return if asked and available. Thanks, Carey and Robin
