About this house sitting position in Folkestone

We have a quirky 3 bedroom 2 floor 1930's lodge house, positioned two streets back from the sea and promenade, in the handsome west end of Folkestone, Kent. A short walk gets you to the ocean and turning left, you have Folkestone with it's Harbour Arm and Creative Quarter, right you have the pretty seaside village of Sandgate to explore. We have shared gardens but there is a wealth of green and blue space around us to enjoy, as well as a seafront beach hut set in an award winning coastal park for your exclusive use too. Off street parking is available and we are a 10 minute walk from the train station with 54 minute travel time into London via the HS1 high-speed train.

We have a 14yr old grumpy female house cat called Mychka who offers only cupboard love! We also have a 4yr old Hamilton Hound called Nuala and she's a gentle soul, medium sized and laid back. She enjoys company, just wanting to be in the same room as you, and we really don't feel that kenneling would be good for her, hence being on here! My son and daughter have now left home and so no longer have their in-house support for pet care duties! My daughter lives in the next town but she works nursing shifts which are not compatible with doggy care but she will be on hand if needed. Read more...

Reviews for Gemma

5 stars stars
“We had a really wonderful time housesitting for Gemma and her partner Mark. Their home is really cosy and comfortable and in a great location just minutes away from stunning clifftop views across the Channel.
Gemma was very easy to communicate with before our stay and she had left an excellent folder of local information for us. Nuala the dog was super friendly and laid back. Myshka the cat was quite reserved but very sweet. They were both a pleasure to spend time with and definitely enhanced our visit. Thanks also to Gemma's daughter Laurel who took Nuala for a couple of long walks and was altogether really helpful. All-in-all a great trip, and we can't recommend this house sit enough.
