Lake View Cottage
Introduction
Joanie (from NZ ) and I are in our mid 60s and work part time. We travel quite frequently, sometimes for extended periods. We have a 5 year old well behaved Labrador and would like him to be able to remain in his home and keep his routine. Our home is in a beautiful area overlooking Lough Derg (200 meters) between Nenagh and Portumna. A clean driving license is essential. Access to beautiful countryside and woodlands is possible for walking and cycling. There are 4 bikes available.
Show more...Home & location
There is a farmhouse on the property and an annex/cottage. The latter is the house sitters accommodation and sleeps 4 comfortably in 2 bedrooms. It is modern, well equipped and warm. Finn lives in his bed in the hall of the cottage.
Show more...Responsibilities
House sitters would be responsible for Finn’s well being and feeding and walking (minimum 60 mins daily) him in the morning and early evening. You would also be responsible for the overall care and security of the property. There is a monitored alarm in the farmhouse, however a daily circuit of the house/property to check doors and windows and a weekly check inside would be required. Some watering of plants and lawn mowing may be required depending on the time of year.

This is a wonderful housesit. I had the good fortune to spend 2 weeks in John's super comfortable, warm house with beautiful surroundings and with the best companion, Finn, his yellow Labrador dog. Finn is so lovable and affectionate. I brought him everywhere with me. He loves his runs through the nearby woods and forests and is a great traveller in the car. He also adores his belly rubs. He is really obedient also. I was very sad to leave him. John has a beautiful large home on a big plot of land with the most wonderful view of Lough Derg. The house is equipped with an AGA cooker, stove and oil heating which kept me super cosy and warm on the cold days. John is an absolute gentleman and warmly welcomed me and ensured that I was very comfortable and familiar with the runnings of the house. John was always easily contactable even though he was on the other side of the world. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Finn at John's house and I highly recommend this housesit.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Fin and was such a great companion and friend during my stay. I loved our walks and drives together. I will miss him! John was great from the start...always in contact when needed. I would highly recommend this sit...great countryside and lots to do and see and the bonus of course is Fin!

We really enjoyed our sit at John and Joanie,s. The cottage was cosy comfy and we felt very much at home. John was very responsive and was easy to communicate with . The area was very quiet with fantastic views and we enjoyed visiting nearby towns. Finn was a delight to spend time with , and responded so well to instruction. We would highly recommend this sit and would love to go back and sit with Finn again
