Home & location

Appleshaw is a friendly village, I live opposite the playing fields so have a lovely outlook, lots of farmland and green open spaces and dog walks! We modernised the house when we moved here and it is cosy, lots of light and modern kitchen and 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.i have WiFi and Sky TV. The sitter’s accommodation is ground floor and has an en suite shower.Good sized garden, mature trees and a vegetable patch. Lots of outdoor seating. I have a cleaner and gardening help, well stocked larder , appliances, 2 dishwashers 2 refrigerators and 2 deepfreezes. The closest amenities (approx 2 miles) are the local garage and shop with long opening hours and excellent garden centre with butcher, deli and café. Appleshaw is close to Stonehenge, Winchester and Salisbury so much to see in the area.

Responsibilities

Feeding and exercising dogs and showing them affection! My house is very easy to enjoy. No jobs in the house need attending to. Both dogs are fed at around 7.30am then they tend to nap again for a few hours! I walk Joe the older, at about 10.30 am for my usual circuit approx 1 mile, through a safe wood with no traffic. He is perfectly behaved, quite timid and very obedient. He has had a career as a gun dog and is a perfect gentleman. On return I then take puppy Sydney for a short walk, getting him used to being on a lead and meeting other dogs and traffic. Sydney has lunch at about 1pm. Sydney perfectly happy in his crate for up to 4hours then another short walk. Joe is fed at about 4pm and Sydney his final feed at 6pm. Both are calm dogs and just enjoy company, Joe the occasional pat when he comes for one in evening but he is very self sufficient and loves his bed! Sydney needs a bit more stimulation when not asleep but he has toys and is now house trained. He will be 3.5months at the time I need house and dog care. You will fall in love with them both and want to take them when you leave!
