House sitter to look after dogs, cat and rabbit in Scotland.
Introduction
Hi! We are Hamish and Emma and we are looking for a trusted housesitter to look after our house in Fife. We have been using trusted housesitters for the last 8 years or so with great success and housesitters seem to enjoy being here too. We used to live in France (you’ll see some reviews for our house there) and then moved back to Scotland in 2017. We live about 45 minutes north of Edinburgh in the beautiful countryside of NE Fife and are about 20 minutes from St Andrew’s. We have 2 dogs, and a cat.
Show more...Home & location
Our house is a historical old house situated in NE Fife. We are about 45 minutes from Edinburgh and 20 minutes from St Andrews. The area is rural but it is located 6 miles from a town which all amenities including supermarkets, bars, restaurants and garages. The house is a traditional house set in a large garden and surrounded by fields. The kitchen has an Everhot (a bit like an Aga) and sitting room has a wood burner. You will need your own car, as we are rural. Only non smokers please.
Show more...Responsibilities
Main responsibilities would be feeding the pets, walking the dogs and watering plants in the summer. The cat is pretty simple he just need to be given a bit of love, attention and fed. The dogs are young and energetic, so like quite a bit of exercise, especially Treacle our Springer Spaniel. So this house sit position would suit someone who is fit and is happy to go for a long walk each day.

Craig and I had a truly magical and memorable stay in Cupar. It was lovely to meet Hamish, Emma and their family and everyone was really friendly and welcoming. All aspects of caring for their wonderful pets was straightforward and explained clearly. We had a fantastic time caring for Treacle, Maple, Zorro, Nettle and Leslie, who all have their own special personalities and character. Treacle and Maple are particularly well trained and leave you alone whilst preparing and eating your own food. They are both energetic and we enjoyed fantastic, long walks in adjacent fields and forests. Nettle and Zorro are delightful, affectionate cats and took to us very quickly. Hamish and Emma's house is absolutely stunning and the gardens and surroundings were wonderfully quiet. We feel really privileged to have stayed at this house and to have met Hamish, Emma and family. We already miss the pets and our time at this house-sit and it would be an absolute pleasure to return in the future.

We had a great time at this beautiful property of Emma and Harmish. Although we did not meet them in person, we immediately had a good relationship with them. If we had questions we only had to contact them and they answered quickly. We stayed in the characteristic cottage which was very comfortable. Because of the covid-19 we couldn’t explore the region, but we enjoyed ourselves with gardening in the large and beautiful gardens of the property, we loved it. Thank you so much Emma and Harmish for the wonderful time we had at your place. And who knows maybe we will meet each other once.

Thank you very much Emma and Hamish for giving us the opportunity to look after your lovely property so full of character. We had a very nice time hiking and discovering the Gers. We take with us great memories. All the best.
