We need house and, more importantly, dog sitters for the periods Sept and 25 Sept to 7 Oct.
We have two Springer Spaniels. One 8 yrs old and one 16 yrs old! We are looking for sitters who are empathetic and familiar with the needs of an older dog. A non-squeamish person is needed to deal with occasional doggie 'accidents' and to administer pills orally. The younger girl just needs loads of TLC and walks.
We live in a small village approx. 4 miles from the ancient market town of Marlborough which caters for day to day needs with good supermarkets, restaurants and pubs.
We are within striking distance of Bath, Bristol, Salisbury, Winchester, the Cotswolds as well as Stonehenge and Avebury stone circles.
There is good access to footpaths directly from our house and access to 'The Ridgeway' trail and the Savernake Forest is nearby.
We have a large garden and would appreciate some basic care whilst we are away i.e. lawn mowing (ride-on mower) and would expect the house to be kept and left as clean as when the sitters arrive.
Our house is spacious and our sitters would have a well appointed bedroom with bathroom. There is a large kitchen/family room with direct access to the terrace and garden.
