Rural House/Dog sitting in beautiful South Downs National Park
Introduction
We are a busy family of four who like to travel. We live in rural Hampshire in the South Downs National Park with a young female Labrador who needs to be looked after when we go on holiday. She is very sociable and enjoys walks exploring the local area and visits to the fantastic local pub. We have a large garden that allows her to run around and she can be left for four hours in a run in the house. Whilst there are three train stations within 10 mins drive (Liss, Petersfield and Alton) and all supermarkets deliver, the house sit would be suit someone with their own transport.

We live in a four bedroom detached house with a large garden, outside patio area and separate guest accommodation. The house is next to an eqestrian facility and there are lots of horses in the surrounding fields. We are very close to Hawkley which is a 20 minute walk by road or 40 minute cross country to the award winning Hawkley Inn, Selborne is a 7 minute drive or 20 minute cycle and we are 20 mins drive from Alresford and 30 mins from Winchester.

Darcey likes a walk of 20 mins minimum each day, there isn't a set time each day for this and she can walk/run for up to 10km. She loves company and also enjoys having a ball thrown for her an lots of company. She has two meals each day of kibble for breakfast (8-10am and dinner 5-7pm). She can be left for up to four hours in the house with a run of the dining room and kitchen (which includes her crate). Our fish in the pond need feeding once a week and during the hot, dry summer months the garden will need watering.

Darcey is adorable, loves her walks, playing ball and being fussed. She is very well behaved and her recall is excellent. After my first day with her I could confidently let her off the lead. We did lots of walks in the area including the hangers way, we also took Darcey to the beach at Hayling island a couple of times which she loved and happy to hop in the car. The house was clean and very comfortable, a good size garden for Darcey to play. Local pubs also good, and Sam had left plenty of ideas of where to go. Sam was easy to get in touch with. Would sit Darcey again no problem.

What a fantastic location. We really enjoyed the footpaths nearby that connect into the Hangers Way. Lovely meal and beer at The Hawkley Inn. Darcey is an absolute joy and extremely well behaved. The guest bedroom is lovely.
