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.

Serena and Vic are a lovely couple. Very warm and accommodating. Timmy went on holiday so I took care of Max and Ben. They were are a delight - well behaved and a pleasure to walk and care for. The house and grounds are stunning, tidy and beautifully maintained. The home is well-situated too, but with such a gorgeous home you may not want to leave! The flower garden and hanging baskets are beautiful and the berries and vegetables in the vegetable garden were delicious and plentiful! The sheep were no trouble. Valentino the lamb was particularly affectionate and a treat on our morning and afternoon walks. The chickens kept the egg supply coming so that's an added bonus. Everything was just perfect. Thank you for having me Serena and Vic :)

Thank you Serena and Vic, it was a pleasure staying at your beautiful home with the dogs: they are adorable and so well behaved! Discovering the grounds with them and picking -and savouring! - fresh fruits and vegetables were the highlights of my stay. I loved my room with a view too. Thank you for making me feel welcome. I’m happy to come back anytime :)
