Dog sitter needed for our two retrievers in West Somerset
Introduction
We are an active, retired professional couple in our seventies. We like walking, gardening and some volunteering. We need a sitter whilst we go away on holiday, primarily to look after our two retrievers.
Show more...Home & location
On the edge of Stogumber, which is a lovely village in undulating country between the Quantock hills and Exmoor. It is superb for walking, although our 4 acre garden can provide good exercise in itself. The village centre is about 1/3 mile and includes a general store, pub and church. The coast is 5 miles away at Watchet. The towns of Taunton and Minehead are both about 30 minutes drive. The guest bedroom has its own en suite shower room which was recently refurbished. A bath is available in another bathroom . We usually provide two single beds but can make it into a large double if desired.

Look after our two retrievers and take them for walks. They are fed morning and evening, and are happy to be left for a few hours during the day. We'd also like you to water a few plants in pots in the greenhouse and outside.

This sit was a lovely experience, both dogs were friendly and well behaved and John and Elaine are really nice and relaxed people. Their house is a lovely converted barn and the garden is amazing. The local village as with many of the local villages presented a shop, a pub and a church that are within walking distance. Everything else is a short drive away in a larger village which has supermarket, bakers and garage beside other small shops. We enjoyed ourselves in Stogumber and the local beaches about a half hour drive away with the dogs.

Geoff and Jenny looked after our two flat-coated retrievers for two weeks while we were on holiday. They came for a pre-visit to meet us and our dogs, and to make sure that they could park their motor home in our drive. This gave both of us confidence in the sit. As expected, everything went very smoothly. They looked after the dogs very well - 3 walks a day, clearing up half-digested rabbits, etc. The house was clean and tidy when we returned. We have no hesitation in highly recommending them.
