Dunning, Perthshire Dog/House sit.
Introduction
We are looking for a sitter/couple to take care of our house and three dogs whilst we are away. We have an English Pointer, a Springer spaniel and a six month old French Pointer puppy. They are all very affectionate, friendly and love to curl up and sleep in a dog bed or better in front of the fire. They are well behaved out on a walk. My husband Charles and I live in a village called Dunning. It is very pretty and has a lot of history. Charles and I both work from home so the dogs are used to having people around.

Our home is set in the beautiful Perthshire countryside between Gleneagles and Perth. We are one hour's drive north of both Edinburgh and Glasgow and 20 minutes from Perth. The nearest train station is Gleneagles. Our house is approximately 300 yards from Dunning village square. There is a shop, doctor's surgery, two pubs, a tea room, golf course, tennis courts and a village hall. We have a pretty garden and in the summer enjoy barbeques and eating outside. There are some very good restaurants in the local area and a particularly nice pub in our village - The Kirkstyle Inn. There are lots of local attractions such as distilleries, gardens, walks and many historical sites. There is a limited bus service from the village. It would be preferable is you had your own transport.
Show more...Responsibilities
We would like you to look after our home and three dogs whilst we are away. We are looking for a sitter to arrive on the morning of our departure so that we can introduce you to the dogs and show you where everything is . Uisge, Moray and Shuna are very affectionate. They love company and need a walk each day. They are fed twice a day and have a room off the kitchen to sleep in at night or when left at home. When they are not exercising they are normally 'couch potatoes' lying in front of the aga. Some watering of plants would be appreciated. A video/telephone call to discuss timings would be welcome.

We had an amazing stay at this house/ pet sit. The home and gardens were beautiful and it was the most relaxing home environment. The hosts communication was welcoming and informative, gave us numerous local walks for their dogs and fantastic instructions for their feeding routines. The dogs were friendly and fun to be with. Easy to walk and to recall, a pleasure to look after, they even had a good bedtime routine which the dogs were happy to do every night with no fuss. I can highly recommend a stay for future sitters, it was a home away from home for us. Thank you lovely hosts ❤️

It was a delightful experience caring for Lady Uisge, baby Shuna, and their esteemed friend, Oscar. They are charming individuals who are both intellectually gifted and affectionate. Their residence and town are magnificent, and the scenic beauty of the forest and river is awe-inspiring. Kathryn and Charles have meticulously crafted a remarkable plan for you.

Fantastic stay! Uisge and Moray are so well behaved. Usige loves snuggling up near the fire and Moray loves to play fetch. Super affectionate doggies :) Charles and Kathryn are lovely and we throughly enjoyed our stay - Dunning is an enchanting village and would highly recommend it if the opportunity arises.
