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.
Show more...Home & location
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.
Show more...Responsibilities

We had a lovely time looking after Tim & Sacha, we will miss them hugely. The house was very comfortable and the grounds were beautiful. So easy & a real pleasure to be with Serena’s gorgeous dogs.

Dearest Tim & Sasha, Thank you for choosing me to care for you whilst your wonderful parents Serena & Vic were away on holiday. I hope I made you feel like you were on holiday also, by taking you on lots of wonderful walks in the woods, fields and to the beach to play in the water. I thoroughly enjoyed our time together looking after you, your gorgeous garden and Sheep friends! You helped me get back on my feet by being the best pals and always keeping me smiling, as both of you are so adorable and fun to be around that even when you would do something naughty, it was impossible to be upset (about a chewed slipper or something else). Serena and Vic, it was a pleasure meeting you! Thank you for this opportunity. It was the most wonderful experience I have had with Housesitting in all aspects. Not only did I thoroughly enjoy having Tim & Sasha by my side everyday and taking them on walks to various locations, I got to learn so much about gardening, plants, fixing new appliances in the house, amongst other things. It’s been such a pleasant Housesit and I miss your fluffs deeply already. All my best wishes, Ekaterina
