OFFERED: House sitting in Devon for two weeks

[bee74]

Hello

We moved from ED to East Devon last year and we are looking for someone to house/ dog and cat sit for a couple of weeks while we are away on holiday 20 October - 4 November.

We have a beautiful house in the county with lots of space both inside (play room filled with toys, crafts, arts bits, games etc) and outside (three acres of garden, fields - play area, trampoline, football post, pop up tennis field, etc)

There are plenty of places to explore, either from the house - beautiful walks and bike rides; or by car along the coast (Lyme Regis and Charmouth - both on the Jurassic coast are ten mins away) and on the surrounding hills.

Some interesting market towns are also nearby Axminster (10 mins), Bridport (20 mins) with its West Bay beach - otherwise known these days as Broadchurch where the series was filmed. Exeter is also 40 mins away either by train or car. Bath and Frome not far.

Anyway, you won't get bored.

Our main concern is our little puppy. When I say little I don't mean that literally. She is a five month Doberman so quite large already. She is very well behaved (both with adults and children - we have a 3 and a 6 year old who pull her ears, put necklaces on her and sleep curled up with her). She sleeps through the night (9 hours) and is very soppy. However she is still a puppy so full of energetic and very curious and needs two good walks a day (at the very least 40 minutes). This is actually easier than it sounds as there is lots of beautiful walking to do around here!

If you fancy a break from London please get in touch so I can send you more infos and photos.

Thank you

Hello

I have a partner and a little boy and we wish we could have a dog but our lifestyles don't suit it. We would love to look after your big puppy. I have grown up with dogs so am very experienced. I had Kerry Blues all my life so I am well used to managing demanding beasts. My partner is all about the cats, his family have 3.

We usually head over to Ireland for a few weeks to a stud with lots of yard dogs and horses but work is preventing us going at the right time this year so this would really make up for that. I know you are probably inundated so this is a hail mary!

Thanks x

Hi, we are a family of 4 in Herne Hill; 9 year old twins and a 10 year old, and me, an animal lover and experienced animal 'lookerafterer'. We could house sit for 10 days i.e. over the half term which obviously leaves a few days either side to cover but please text me if you think this might be of use. We are used to dogs and animals of all kinds (I used to walk a young Doberman and a young boxer too so I know all about the energy levels!) and we are a kind, considerate and trustworthy bunch (I hope).

Kindest
