House sitter required for lurcher and amazing cat in the WIltshire Countryside
Introduction
Hello! I'm Harriet, I live in the beautiful Wiltshire Countryside in an AONB with my cat Sean Connery, and large dog Doughnut. I work from home in my beautiful purpose build large and colourful garden studio. Both animals are used to having us around most days and we do lots of enrichement with them both. Doughnut is reactive on local walks, and he is a large dog, and quite a clever and smart dog, so someone knowledgable of dogs/large/unique breeds is an absolute bonus.

I live in a good sized 2 bedroom, 3. bathroom, semi detached house in a very friendly neighbourhood (we're all close friends), with views overlooking fields and old ridgeway. It's a quite area, and very peaceful. We have a good size back garden, and parking on the driveway.

Main duties are looking after Dougnut and Sean Connery. They're both pretty smart and really a big part of our family, we interact with them a lot. They are both raw fed. Doughnut is pretty independent, doesn't like fuss, but loves to play (espeically tug, or football out the front) and Sean Connery is with me most of the time, especially when I work in the garden studio. Doughnut is crazy intelligent, he would actually probably make a great assistance dog. He can close doors, pick up stuff to bring to you, and get the post. He knows a lot of what I say and is used to lots of enrichment/engagement and can sometimes demand it. Sean Connery is my little velcro cat, he is with me wherever I go. He is used to lots of interaction and having someone around. The fish need food maybe once or twice a Doughnut. I also chat to them, but this is optional. Doughnut will need walking. When he is walked locally he can be very reactive when he sees other dogs. He is big, so it needs someone strong and switched on to manage these situations. Other dogs generally need avoiding, or I hire a secure field and take him there sometimes. He does have a dog walker who comes a few times a week. Apart from that, this place is a wonderful place to escape for a few days. The garden studio is ideal for anyone working remotely. Sean Connery (cat) will like to be in there with you. We are 5 mins from the M4, and beautiful countryside is on the doorstep.
