We are looking for a dogsitter while we´re on holidays. Our home is a spacious Babelsberg Nord mansion with garden on the edge of Berlin. Laura is 5 years old, 37 kg and has a heart of gold. She needs only short walks (30 mins) in summer, but she must not be left alone at home for longer than 5 hours at a time or she may pee in the basement or ground floor. She is relaxed and easy to handle, but occasionally needs reining in, when she sees another dog she wants to meet. We take her for walks at around 8 am, noon, and evening, and feed her twice daily.
During dry spells, the lawn needs watering. For this, we have an automatic lawn sprinkler. Turn on the tap and close the tap after an hour. Lawn needs mowing once in the 3 week period. No other gardening chores.
The house is a 1914 mansion in the Babelsberg part of Potsdam, a leafy little town with rich history dating back to 1750, which became a playground for movie celebrities who built their mansions along the Griebnitzsee during the heyday of the Babelsberg Studios, the birthplace of the German movie industry. Grocery shopping 10 mins by bike. The S-Bahn (overground) station is a short distance by bike and takes you into the centre of Berlin in 25 minutes and to Potsdam centre in 10 mins. Very nice area for walking and biking. Swim in one of the local lakes easily reached by bike. You can use our bike(s). Use of our car can be negotiated.
