Pet Sitter needed for 1 Teacup Yorkshire Terrier and one big & lively Yorkie/Border Terrier cross!
Introduction
We are a couple in our early 70's, and have one little (but overweight) Yorkie girl, Daisy, and a bigger lively Yorkie/Border Terrier cross, Lily. They have free roam of the house and a cat flap so can come and go as they please. Jill is retired and Stewart is still working but is self-employed.
Show more...Home & location
We are in a small village in the heart of Somerset between Street (for Clark's Village) and Somerton, within easy reach of Wells, Glastonbury, Cheddar and Wookey Hole. We are near to the seaside towns of Burnham-on-Sea and Weston Super Mare on the Bristol Channel, and close to the Dorset coast. The walks around the village are stunning. We have a Post Office in the village, but no shop. The nearest shops are in Street or Somerton (3 and 4 miles respectively) The house is a 2-storey bungalow of rustic design, and sitters will have their own upstairs bedroom and bathroom. There is a large back patio with a gazebo, large garden (not grassed), and a paddock to the side with our ducks. These need to fed and watered every day. We have all mod cons, including wifi and Sky TV (basic package). Mobiles will not work in most of the village, but will work in the house if you are on EE or have wifi calling.
Show more...Responsibilities
The dogs need to be fed twice a day - usually midday and at 10.30pm (both times can be changed to suit sitters arrangements/plans. They have no medical issues and all food is provided. They do not need to be walked unless the sitter wants to. They have a cat-flap, so are independent around the house and garden. A cleaner comes in every Wednesday morning for 3 hours. We have, at the moment, 14 ducks. These are in a paddock next to our house. They need to be shut up at sunset, and fed, watered and let out in the mornings. Apart from this, and generally keeping the dogs company, there are no other responsibilities.

We recently had the pleasure of caring for Jill and Stewart's lovely home in the heart of Somerset. We were made very welcome by Jill and Stewart and their dogs Daisy and Lily. The house is very comfortable with all mod cons. A large outside area with a gazebo. Daisy and Lily were totally adorable and no trouble at all, they were very friendly and loved to be cuddled. We were able to visit lots of places whilst we were there. Jill and Stewart also had 14 ducks. The ducks were a bit of a test, getting them in at night but Tony quickly sussed out how to do it, unfortunately we did lose 2 ducks to foxes, very upsetting. The ducks provided us with fresh eggs for breakfast most days. We would definitely recommend this sit, and hope that if Jill and Stewart can forgive us for the loss of the ducks they will invite us back again.

Our week with Daisy and Lily as lovely. Jill left everything we would need for our week and the girls were great fun and companions during our stay. Compton Dundon is perfectly situated to visit Glastonbury, Wells and the coast. We had a great stay and would recommend this as a sit to anyone.
