Stunning Husky/Akita lad needs looking after - walks, food and cuddles!

Introduction

Hi there, I’m Anna, proud looker-afterer of Shamrock, a gorgeous Husky-Akita. We live in the beautiful Brecon Beacons. From time to time, I need to go away for work or the odd dog-free holiday. So some house-sitting options would be amazing!

Home & location

We live in a small village in the Black Mountains area of the Brecon Beacons national park in South Wales. Beautiful mountain walks on the doorstep. Close to Hay on Wye, Brecon and lovely Llangorse lake. The house is an old 4-bed terrace so plenty of room for a couple - can make two bedrooms available if that were two friends ;-)

Responsibilities

Primary reason for house sit is to look after Shamrock! He loves to be with people and hates kennels. He loves his walks and his food. Dog lovers only need apply. Beyond that, returning the house to me clean and tidy is essential. Shamrock hasn’t grown up with kids so adults only please. Shamrock is a loner and while he loves humans, he does not get on with other animals; therefore, Shamrock must not be let off the lead on walks and sitter's pets cannot be accommodated.

It was an absolute pleasure staying at Anna's house to look after Shamrock. Shamrock is an absolute delight to be around — he's a total sweetheart, very chilled, and gets super excited for walkies. Despite being a bit older, he still enjoys multiple daily outings. I just kept our walks to flatter routes no longer than two hours as he did get quite tired (probably because it was a very warm weekend too). Anna's house is in an ideal location, surrounded by plenty of beautiful walks. Although I was warned that he might wake me up in the night to go for a wee, he actually very kindly waited until around 7am to wake me up, which was perfect haha! Anna was very friendly and accommodating, and made me feel right at home in her lovely house. The garden is stunning — I especially loved having my morning tea on the big bench with Shamrock lying underneath it. I already miss Shams and would definitely recommend this pet sit to any dog lover. It was a fantastic experience, and I look forward to the opportunity to look after him again in the future!

A short and sweet stay with Shamrock. A gorgeous Akita- Husky cross, very cuddly and great walking companion ! Anna was an excellent communicator, clear and concise. Her house very comfortable and clean. I would love to return and have a longer sit with Shamrock. I recommend this sit 100%, nestled in the idyllic Brecon Beacon Mountains.

Anna has a lovely cosy house in a beautiful Wales country side. She is reactif and give me advices for walks. Shamrock is a loveable big old dog. He knows what he wants or doesn't . But unfortunately he (certainly his kidneys) need to wake me up every middle of the night to go to wee. It was not a nice surprise. Anyway except for that (and the bad weather) it was a good experience.

We had the pleasure of looking after Shamrock for 10 days surrounded by beautiful Brecon walks. Anna was great showing us around the area and letting us in on some of Shams favourite walking paths. Sham is honestly a big bear who we loved playing with and looking after. We would 100% return!
