We need a house sitter

South Western Scotland - Dumfries and Galloway

louise

,We are looking for an active, non smoking couple to house sit our 3 dogs,(,2 x breed, rescues and northern inuit) 1 tortoise, and pond fish please. The dogs range in ages, from 4 year to 10 years old to a nervous collie, requiring 2
walks a day .The tortoise and fish require very minimum care. As we live in the country, the dogs are use to being exercised in the
neighbouring fields and woods,
and there are plenty of lochs and castles to visit with the lake
district nearby. Deer, buzzards and
woodpeckers breed nearby, and
can often be seen. The cottage is
5 miles outside the local town, ( large tescos, aldi, cinema and swimming pool )
looking onto the cumbrian mountains, and is very peaceful, (large Tescos /cinema Etc). The city of Carlisle is 12 miles away. The central heating is run by a solid fuel rayburn and there is a wood burning stove also. Please feel free to ask any questions, request photos etc. Thank You!

We absolutely loved our week in Louise's beautiful home. Her dogs are so well cared for they were no trouble but loved all the attention we could give them. The tortoise is surprisingly social and very easy to care for. We miss the dogs already and have spent the days since we left doing impressions of them :) The house has great views of the surrounding area and we did some nice walks including a beach walk. Annan has a big Tesco and is lovely little town - a corner of Scotland I knew little ... MORE

Louise and Andrew were easy to get along with and communication was great. Lots to see in the area they live in. We had an interesting time looking after their pets
