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 had the best time with Winnie at Paul and Chrissie’s charming home in their beautiful garden, also enjoying their warm hospitality and delicious supper on our first evening. Winnie is a sweetheart and great companion - gentle, well mannered and quick to follow instruction. Detailed guidelines, a thorough handover and excellent communication made for an easy and relaxed stay in a super comfortable guest suite. Fresh eggs, fruit and produce were an added bonus. The area is one of natural beauty, with lovely walks through farmlands and glorious countryside - bird/wildlife and clear skies to enjoy. A special treat for us was meeting Chrissie’s parents and spending some time with them. We’re so thankful for this opportunity and would return in a heartbeat!

Compton dundon is a great location for fantastic walks and views. There are many tourist destinations just a few miles away so the weeks stay flew by. I loved walking Lily around the many paths from the doorstep and Daisy was a little poppet and happy to stay in the large garden.
