We need a house sitter

South East - West Sussex

theresa

Mature and sensible person/couple required to look after two small dogs, a Westie and a Cavalier KC Spaniel. We are in a the centre of a village, and the house backs on to an open area with views of the South Downs. Good walks and shops are on the doorstep. Lovely private garden with seating areas. In summer fresh vegetable!
Many lovely places to visit near here, coast and city, near to Arundel, Worthing, Chichester, and a comfortable home environment. The dogs are sweet and gentle, love to walk and to snuggle and are easy to get on with.
Depending on time of year, light gardening would be very welcome!
There is a Waitrose and Tesco within walking distance, and pubs and restaurants. The village hall almost next door has a weekly market, and regular yoga and Pilates classes. There is also a sports centre and tennis club nearby.
Non smokers only. References from previous sits desirable.

Theresa was very welcoming on our first evening and explained everything well. The house is very comfortable and easy to live in and there is a very pretty garden for sunny weather. Bobby and Buddy are very loving and easy to look after and enjoy their walks of which there are an attractive variety to choose from in the area. Storrington has a good selection of local shops within an easy walk.

Theresa is a warm, kind host. We were welcomed on arrival with an evening meal , ( plus home made brownies) Details of walks in the area, places to visit and Bobby and Buddy's routine were first class. It's our second visit and we were delighted to get the chance to return. We feel at home in the house and the garden is a wonderful to chill and relax. Storrington is a friendly place with a real community spirit. Lovely walks straight from Theresa's door and seaside resorts only a 25 ... MORE
 
PHIL & WENDY (Jun 2024 - 2 weeks)
We hit it off with Theresa immediately during the initial video call. Upon arrival at Theresa’s we received a very warm welcome which included a home baked cake and later fish pie for dinner. The house is just lovely and very tastefully furnished. There is everything you need here with shops and restaurants within a few minutes walking distance. We really loved looking after the dogs. Bobby was just so much fun and couldn’t wait for his walks. Theresa’s information pack was very ... MORE

We have recently finished a housesit for Theresa. From the start she was great with communications and meeting her, and her precious dogs, beforehand was helpful. Theresa has a full file of information. Her boys, Buddy & Bobby are delightful. So easy to look after and a joy to take out on walks over the South Downs. Bobby was a little nervous when we first arrived but only for a few minutes, then readily settled down to life with his new friends. Peacewold is a beautiful home and ... MORE

To spend time in Theresa's beautiful house looking after the delightful Bobby & Buddy was a real treat. Storrington is well located for the South Downs National Park and the coast with some lovely walks, views and pub stops. I hope to be invited back again 😍
 
MANDIE (Apr 2023 - 1 week)
It was a pleasure to leave the dogs in the safe and capable hands of Mandie. She kept in touch and sent photos, and the house was clean and tidy on our return. Would definitely recommend and hope that she comes back!
I had such a lovely and peaceful time in a truly beautiful home and location with Bobby and Buddy. Theresa made me feel very welcome and appreciated. I was left with clear instructions which was very reassuring and very easy and prompt communication with Theresa when required. Bobby and Buddy are the sweetest of dogs, I absolutely loved being with them, they are extremely easy to care for and gave me so much joy. I highly recommend this lovely housesit ☺️

It was an absolute pleasure to look after Theresa's sweetheart doggies Buddy and Bobby. Theresa invited us the night before as she was leaving early the next day, and kindly cooked a really yummy fish pie. It was lovely to be made to feel so welcome - thank you. Theresa's home is beautifully decorated and has everything needed to make for a very comfortable house-sit. Her fabulous dogs are a delight to spend time with, and are very well behaved. Buddy sleeps a lot, but has plenty of ... MORE

A delight looking after Bobby and Buddy, great walks and cuddles on the sofa in the evening. Theresa house was lovely and cosy in idyllic setting. Thank you both xx
 
JENNY AND KEN (Sep 2019 - 5 days)
We thoroughly enjoyed our housesit here. The dogs are adorable and probably the most laid back, well behaved dogs we have ever met with great social skills and such lovely personalities. Theresa has used housesitters before and knew exactly how to make us feel at home and comfortable during our time here - and we did really enjoy the whole experience. Waking up in a such a beautiful place with such lovely sweet dogs didn't fail to make me smile every morning. Getting to know know Theresa ... MORE

Had a lovely peaceful time looking after the most adorable little dogs which we were very sad to leave. Theresa made us most welcome to enjoy her home and great surroundings for walking and admiring the horses. Was given lots of information regarding area. Great sit. Bette and Les
 
LES (Jun 2019 - 3 days)
Beautiful, tranquil location with stunning scenery and fabulous walking/cycling nearby. Very comfortable house with well behaved dogs and jaw dropping views. All in all a very uplifting experience and thanks again to Theresa who made me feel very welcome.
 
SHIRLEY (May 2019 - 4days)
Bobby and Buddy, the two dogs are wonderful little souls and very easy to care for. Theresa is a gracious and kind host, easy to communicate with and has a lovely, comfortable home. The surroundings are stunning with peaceful walks through the nearby stud and hills. Highly recommended!
 
PAUL (May 2019 - 5 days)
We loved house sitting for Theresa - she is completely charming, the dogs are good fun, the house is stunning and the area is breathtaking - perfect for those who fancy getting away from it all. We're going to be house sitting in Scotland while she's next away, otherwise we'd be back in a shot! Definitely one of our favourite house sits (and we're on our 117th sit!).
 
RACHEL (Jan 2019 - 2 weeks 1 day)
No rating Theresa has a beautiful house and garden in a quiet location. Communication was very good before and during the House-Sit. There is a manual containing instructions, contact numbers and information about local walks nearby. The dogs, Buddy and Bobby, are a pleasure to be with. They very quickly accepted our presence and fell back into their routine, they were easy to look after and didn't cause us to be concerned at any time. If you enjoy curling up on the sofa with a snoozing dog leaning ... MORE
ANDY & JANE (Jul 2018 - 3 days)
No rating We had a lovely time looking after Theresa's dogs, Buddy and Bobby who were adorable. There are some great walks in the area and both dogs were well behaved and a joy to look after. The house was a beautiful converted barn set in one of the prettiest areas of Sussex. Theresa was so nice and extremely helpful and gave us a lot of information about the local area. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would be happy to housesit for Theresa again!
