Come to keep Luna company!
Introduction
Hi there - I joined trusted housesitters as I'd prefer for my dog to be able to stay at home and I'm really happy to share my beautiful home with a couple who fancy an inexpensive few days away! I work as a holiday let consult. I have 3 almost grown children, a dog and 3 chickens. We live in a lovely old farmhouse with a pretty fenced in garden. There are fantastic walks right from the door but the shops are also nearby. We are looking for a sitter from time to time when we go away. Our dog Luna can get nervous and barky when she meets new people especially men - she is a rescue and I think that she was beaten as a puppy. Once you get to know her she is extremely affectionate, rather needy as she likes attention but very good fun. She is very obedient off the lead and adores her walks.
Show more...Home & location
We live in an old farmhouse with a private secure garden. The house is set on the edge of Gillingham town, Dorset but you feel as though you are in the middle of the countryside. There is beautiful countryside and walks all around. There are fantastic places of interest nearby like Stourhead, Stonehenge, Haynes Motor Museum, Bath.
Show more...Responsibilities
Responsibilities: Luna needs to be fed first thing in the morning and again around 6pm. She needs to be taken out for a walk at least once a day (on the lead as she chases sheep) but you can also leave the door to the garden open when you are home so she can go in and out. The chickens need to be opened and fed first thing in the morning and closed as it gets dark. If it's very hot a bit of watering the garden it would be much appreciated!

I had the LOVELIEST time hanging out with Luna. She's such a sweet girl and very well-behaved. She came on some hikes with me around the Jurassic coast and loved the adventures, although not a fan of crowded spaces. She does pull on the lead, especially when anxious.

Paddington and Chelsea were a lovely pair to dog sit; very easy dogs to care for and both very friendly and cuddly! Michael and Riu were fantastic at ensuring i had everything i needed, they even picked me up at the train station and dropped me off in Bath after my stay! I would recommend sitting for them any time!

Laura was incredibly flexible, communicative and accommodating, and Luna couldn’t have been more laidback or better behave. We’re already planning a future sit.

Laura is a super friendly and cool lady. Very accommodating, communicative and easy going. The home is gorgeous and decorated very well. I had a very peaceful and comfortable sit. Luna the dog is totally fuss free and fun company. I would not hesitate to stay again.

I had a lovely time at Laura's place with this furry gang! I was able to meet Laura a few days before the sit and she showed me around, giving me lots of information about the house to help make my stay comfortable and easy. On the day of the sit she was available for any last minute questions I had and was very welcoming. Communication during the sit was great as well. Luna is a delightful, affectionate bundle of energy that I so enjoyed looking after. She lets you know if she needs anything and rewards you with her happy hopping dances. We enjoyed exploring the nearby country walks together. Shaggy does his own thing most of the time but he does love his evening cuddles. And the chickens were no hassle at all. Overall I had a lovely time keeping this lot company and would be happy to sit for them again.
