Female dog, 5 year old Malinois cross. She may initially be a little wary with new people, but soon settles down. She can be unpredictable with other dogs, so needs to be kept on the lead.
I'm looking for a sitter who is experienced with dogs to primarily look after my 5 year old furry companion, to keep her safe and happy!
The main responsibility is to take care of Marlie, walking, feeding and company! The house is easily maintained, nothing special required, just to put out recycling on Monday morning.
The house is in small market town (a convenience store, 2 pubs, 2 tea/coffee shops), within 5 minutes of Cheddar Gorge, 10 miles to Wells, and 1/2hr to coast (Burham-0n-sea, Weston-super-mare, Clevedon). It's a 5 minute walk to Cheddar reservoir, and the Strawberry Line walk/cycle path no 26 (goes from Yatton to Cheddar) is easily accessible, plus lots of public footpaths in easy walking distance. The house is a small semi-detached, newly renovated, with 2 double bedrooms in a quiet cul-de-sac, 2 minutes walk to the village square.
Marlie can initially be a bit anxious of new people, but she soon relaxes. She loves her walks and there are plenty of walks to do in the area, without needing to drive anywhere. She is best kept on the lead around other dogs, but loves to have a run around when possible.
No, sorry.

An enjoyable time
I spent a lovely 4 days at Alison's home hanging out with Marlie. Alison is very friendly and welcoming. Marlie is a sweet, gentle dog, very well-behaved, and spending time with her was a pleasure. Alison's home is in a beautiful region of France and I enjoyed the villages, chateaus, and local markets. I highly recommend this house sit.
