Responsibilities

We like to have our house 'lived-in' while we are away for security and to take care of the pets. We have low maintenance dogs, although Gem (less than 1 year old) is still in puppy mode occasionally, they will spend most of the day on the sofa. They will love you forever if you take them for a stroll into town each day, but if you want to go out for the day with out them they will also be quite happy to sleep the day away. We have two cats, Pud and Dee. Pud reigns over the house and occupants, and he likes to be with people. Dee is an independant lady and is more likely to be out and about most of the time, although will come and demand affection from time to time. There is also another tabby cat which comes for food from time to time (she sticks her head through the cat flap which is half way up the stairs when she wants food), she is Pud's girlfriend and they can often be seen side by side of an evening out in the garden. The dogs chase this Tabby cat away if they see her. The dogs and cats don't have set feeding times, they will tell us if their bowls are empty and they are peckish. In addition to the pet care, we hold keys for lots of properties which we manage, so there is always a chance that while we are away something could happen in one of these properties which would mean we would need to arrange for a plumber or similar to come and collect a set of keys.
