Travel on a shoestring
House sitting is a fun, immersive way to experience this magnificent country - without paying a cent for accommodation!

We require either a professional couple or single person to house sit and provide pet care for our 2 dogs while we are away on holiday.
The dogs are:
Chester - he is a 12 year old westie cross terrier, he is a cheeky chap who loves his cuddles, fuss and kisses. He is very much a lap dog and loves to snuggle up on the sofa of an evening. He is your typical terrier and loves to vocalise his voice. And he also has the typical westie whinge
Goldie - she is a 8yr old retriever cross, she is a rescue dog from Cyprus and is very well behaved in the house. She spends most of her days playing with a tennis ball or her other toys. She is very loveable and enjoys kisses and cuddles.
Both dogs are very well behaved in the house, both dogs will be required to lead walk at all times around the local pathways, both dogs do not cope well with car journeys so this will need to be avoided.
we have just moved to the Forest of Dean to a 5/6 bedroom dorma bungalow, the house itself is a fairly large house we have 2 bedrooms ( 1 is an en-suite) downstairs which leads to a large lounge and then onto a kitchen / diner which has access to a downstairs toilet and onto the garden.
There are a further 3 bedrooms upstairs ( 1 is an en-suite) and a large bathroom.
The garden is a split level and the top level leads onto a large patio with a dining set and the lower level has a decking area with access to a large shed and access onto the grass where we have flower beds.
With the house all we require is that it is left clean and tidy.
The area we live in is the town of Cinderford, and from our house we have views of the forest from our front door and there are pathways which can lead you into the forest for nice walks.
There are various things to do and and to see such as
* Wood Green’s nature reserve where there are wild ponies and highland cattle that graze, it has some lovely walks.
* mallards pike has a lakeside setting for lovely walks and has a cafe
* symonds yat where Harry Potter was filmed is 10 miles away
* Ross on wye is 6.7 miles away
* the town of Monmouth is 12 miles away.
Whilst we would consider all sitters we do kindly ask that no pets come with the sitter/ s
