We need a house sitter

South West - Gloucestershire

Heather

We are looking for house and dog sitters, preferably a mature retired couple. We live in a beautiful grade 2 listed 4 bedroom Cotswold mellow stone house with a private enclosed garden of approx half an acre. The garden is full of cottage garden plants and roses (not overlooked) in a lovely village with a community shop and post office a few yards away and a very popular local pub/restaurant within easy strolling distance 3 minutes down the road, The river Coln runs through the village and there are lots of countryside walks. Cirencester is a 15/20 minute drive away.
Pet care:
Maisie is our 6 year old Maltese/toy poodle otherwise known as a Multipoo. She absolutely loves human contact, is very affectionate and full of fun. She particularly enjoys retrieving her Beco ball in the garden and loves a short or long walk, we don’t have any set regime so you are free to choose your own time/regularity. Maisie’s coat requires combing to prevent any matting. She is fed once a day in the evening around 5pm. She is not allowed upstairs (although has been know to sneak up unseen to steal a sock or slipper as a prize, but doesn’t chew them!)
Garden care:
In the summer watering of pots and troughs and deadheading when needed . We have a gardener who will come to mow the lawns/weed once a week. If you enjoy gardening let us know, you are more than welcome to get involved!
Having your own transport is preferred.

Offering us a warm welcome into their lovely home, Terry provided us with clear instructions regarding the house and pet requirements. Maisie was an absolute pleasure to sit, and we enjoyed many lovey walks together. Lucy was happy to have her eyes cleaned every day, and once settled she slept most of the day away. Great village location, good communication and a clean, comfortable home with a beautiful garden. Maisie and Lucy are affectionate and well-behaved dogs. We can highly recommend this ... MORE

We had such a wonderful 2 weeks in this beautiful home with the adorable dogs Maisie and Lucy. Heather and Terry are lovely people and communication was excellent throughout. We arrived the night before and they very kindly took us out for a meal at the local pub. The local area is stunning and we enjoyed lots of walks with Maisie. We would love to return to this housesit.
 
STEVE & GILL (Mar 2024 - 2 weeks)
This was a fabulous housesit. Highly recommended. Heather and Terry were lovely and provided lots of information to ensure that we could be independent whilst they were away. The house was comfortable, warm and luxurious. Lucy is comical in her old age and an absolute delight. Maisie is the cutest little dog with lots of character. Both dogs respond very well to routine and were always up for a cuddle which made them a delight to look after. They both travel very well in a car (sleeping in ... MORE

This was an amazing house sit. The house and gardens are wonderful and the 2 little dogs were easy to care for and well behaved. Very good instructions were left for us and communications were excellent. It is also a lovely village location We would be very happy to be invited back anytime
