Before you read our first need, we also need housesitters for 29 days from 23rd April 2010, so the same person/s for both periods would be ideal!
Non-smoker/s required - for modern, well-kept 3- bedroom + study, home, very comfortable, pool, small garden, set on canal, close to local shops and parks; 5-minute drive to beaches and shopping malls; 5-minute walk to public transport - to housesit and keep our home, garden and pool secure, clean and tidy.
BUT PRIMARILY we need someone to care for our much loved 12-year-old, very healthy and active female miniature schnauzer, who is an "inside" dog, but house-trained to outdoors. We would prefer a retired person/couple - people who are not away from the house on a regular basis for hours and hours on end as our little pet enjoys company and frets when left alone for too long.
Good references are, of course, essential!
Looking forward to hearing from you!
