Hi!
My husband and I are based in Carterton, Oxfordshire, not too far from Oxford and on the edge of the Cotswolds (AONB). Carterton is a small town with a few supermarkets and most things you might need.
We have a rescue, German Shepherd Cross called Sandy. She is very chilled at home and if you're lucky she'll grace you with some cuddles on the sofa. Sandy gets 3 walks a day and does have some low level reactivity issues that you will need to be aware of - primarily towards other dogs if they get too close. Sandy also unfortunately suffers from hip dysplasia, so we limit her walks to a maximum of 1 hour. We can cover this in lots more detail once we start chatting.
Sandy can be left alone at home for up to 4 hours. However, if you're interested in looking after Sandy and want to head out to explore for longer, then we have a dog walker that we use that could probably pop in and see her to give you a little more freedom occasionally.
Our house is a cosy two bedroom house on one of the housing estates outside Carterton. It's clean, tidy, warm and well looked after. I am a professional baker so the kitchen is very well equipped! We have a small garden and patio, as well as space for a car (with charging point for EVs). If needed we could also discuss you using our car during your stay.
If you are a remote worker, we have a large desk that we can set up for you with monitors, as well as a fast broadband connection.
Get in touch if you're interested and we are very happy to discuss in more detail!
