A characterful home with two affectionate dogs awaits you.
Introduction
Hello, We are Serena and dogs, Tim and Sasha. I am hoping to find some special Housesitters who will make looking after Tim and Sasha their first priority, and provide them with kindness and understanding. In return we offer a warm, welcoming home, where you would enjoy a large, modern kitchen, a comfortable sitting room, a light and airy garden room, and a large double bedroom with views over the garden. And, of course, there will be tummies to be rubbed and many doggie licks to enjoy. Tim and Sasha will show you their favourite walks and teach you how to play Pooh sticks in the stream. And then you can watch your favourite TV shows snuggled up together on the sofa. The garden will just start looking lovely, with vegetable seedling already on the go. Enthusiastic gardeners would be welcome to help or just potter around. Although we are in the country there are many towns and attractions nearby, and a pub and shop in the village. You will need a car. Unfortunately this sit is not suitable for children. We look forward to hearing from you.

We live in Kent, the Garden of England. The house was built in the 1500s with various additions. It is well maintained and generally trouble free. It has 5 bedrooms, it has character, lots of space to move around, central heating and a dog room. It has a cesspool. The outside area is our favourite, with a huge inglenook fireplace and patio, water and electricity. The large allotment grows all our fruit and vegetable (feel free to share). We love our flowers and garden. Our neighbours are friendly and helpful. We are one mile from the village with shop and pub, 4 miles from a small town and 8 miles from a larger town, trains and shops. You will need a car.

10/10 recommend this sit. Serena is lovely, she had us for supper the night before she left where she gave us a good run down of Tim and Sasha’s routines. She also left us with a detailed instruction book, this made our week very easy and care free. The dogs are super relaxed and we loved hanging out with them. The area is very quiet, we mostly stuck to walking the dogs on the property but there are also a few nice walking tracks in the surrounding area.

Serena was very welcoming and had a lovely meal prepared for me. The house and grounds are amazing and perfect for walking lovely Sacha and Timmy a couple of times a day. Enjoyed a wonderful sense of freedom with lots of doggie cuddles and good walks in the English countryside!

Serena's property is beautiful and comfortable, and she made us feel very welcome. Sasha and Timmy are gorgeous, settled dogs and we all had a wonderful time. It's always a little hard to leave when you connect with the animals so well.

Although it was a short stay and the weather was a mixed bag with rain and storm and longer sunny spells I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Serena's wonderful home. Serena and her sister welcomed me warmly the day before they went on their trip and instantly made me feel at ease. They introduced me to Tim and Sasha, the two lovable, relaxed and well behaved dogs in residence who are happy to call the extended grounds of Hales Place their home. It's a splendid place to be and I really relished the peace and quiet and the daily strolls with Tim and Sasha as companions - Tim always close to me, a bit shy and very cuddly, Sasha bouncy and liking her tummy rubs and grooming as well. There were two sheep as well, but no worries there, we just passed them by on our walks and checked if they were alright. Thank you very much, Serena, for your generosity and hospitality. I'd happily return for another stay should the opportunity arise.
