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

What a lovely spot to house sit - a beautiful house and garden. Serena and Vic are fantastic hosts and have everything organised to make the house sit flow easily. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay in this lovely part of the country with lots of country side walks on the doorstep.

A lovely house sit with two adorable dogs. It was great to meet Serena and Vic, the owners, beforehand as it gave us an opportunity to not only get to know the house but more importantly Tim and Sasha the dogs. The grounds, including their wood, have ample space to take the dogs for their walks but it was also nice to explore further afield including the beach at Camber Sands and the local woods. A very enjoyable dog sit.

Dear Tim Thanks for having us to stay and look after you. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with you and our boy Darcy is missing his playmate and beach buddy. This is a housesit that shouldn’t be missed, beautiful home in a fantastic area. Serena and Vic are the loveliest couple and they welcomed us into their home more as honoured guests than Housesitters. And to top it off there is Tim, the most adorable, easy going dog to look after. His eyes will make your heart melt. Really looking forward to looking after Tim and his home again.

We had a lovely August Bank Holiday weekend looking after Tim and the sheep and relaxing in Vic and Serena's comfortable and characterful home. Vic and Serena are very hospitable and thoughtful homeowners, showing us where everything was and making us feel welcome when we arrived the afternoon before their departure. Our bedroom was spacious and sunny, with a beautiful view over the back garden. Tim was a pleasure to look after - a very well behaved boy who never tired of chasing his tennis balls and even goes for a swim in the outside bathtub on command.
