We need a house sitter

South East - Hertfordshire

Annalise

We are an adventurous Australian family of 5 who moved back to Hertfordshire in September 2022 with our Golden Doodle Maggie (5 years old at time of sit). We love taking trips over to the continent and visiting parts of the UK, and when Maggie can't come with us, it's nice to know that she can be in her home, well looked after by a sitter who can also enjoy Hertfordshire and all that the English countryside has to offer.

Maggie joins us on lovely long walks each morning (min 1 hour). She is like a big teddy bear with a beautiful calm temperament and is very easy to have around. We work from home so she has regular company and is always up for a cuddle or to play with a ball.

We live in a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom semi in a very quiet part of Harpenden, within 5 minutes walk of town, and within 5 minute walk of the beautiful Nickey Line (disused old railway line that runs from Harpenden all the way to Hemel Hempsted and traverses many beautiful fields, Woodlands and the Manor house around the Rothamsted Estate). Our house is a 15 min walk to the station, and Harpenden is on the Thameslink train line, with a 24 min fast train into London, or it's just one stop to St Albans City or Luton.

If you are driving, we can park our car on the street to allow you off-street parking.

This was a very nice sit for me. Sadly I didn't get to meet Annalise and her family due to logistics of arrival and departure, but the house is very nice and Harpenden is a charming little town with lovely surrounding walks. And Maggie was an absolute treat to hang out with. She has tons of personality and is very well-behaved, and affectionate (super-affectionate). She has the build of a large poodle (good for wrestling ;-)) And the adoring ways of a golden retriever. Great sit. Would ... MORE

Our sit with Golden Doodle, Maggie, was truly a delight. She is gentle, sweet natured & easy, happy to run and walk, happy to sleep, happier to sit beside you for a snuggle. Maggie is intelligent, obedient, well trained and trustworthy. Annalise and Brett were very organized, warm and welcoming, providing very clear sitter notes with ample information on Maggie, the house, the area, numerous nearby walks and cafes. Their home is clean, well organized with everything needed for a ... MORE

Had a lovely few days looking after Maggie who is a lovely well behaved dog. The house itself is clean, well presented in lovely area for both country walks and town with plenty of places to eat and drink. Would happily come again.
