We are a retired couple with children scattered around the globe that we try to visit when we can and hence our need for a house sitter. Primarily we need a sitter to take care of and exercise our 2 dogs while we are away (a labrador and a little Shitzu). Outside that plant watering and keeping the house ship shape is all we ask
Our property is a quite large 5 bedroom detached house located in a very pleasant suburb of Yeovil in Somerset, and is within 15 minute walking distance of the town centre. The property has delightful gardens surrounding it, fully equipped for outdoor living. The house, being our home, is fully equipped and facilities include a landline, satellite TV and wi-fi
The surrounding area is excellent for walking and many national trust properties are nearby. The coast is some 40 minutes away
A mature couple with references is preferred and our main criterion for our sitters is that they are reliable and will look after our property and pets as if they were their own. Previous experience with animals will be considered in reviewing applications
Please include in your application as a minimum details of why you are interested, whether you have been a housesitter before, whether you have references and what experience you have of dogs
