About this house sitting position in LONG COMPTON

We are retired company directors who like to travel several times a year normally for no longer than two or three weeks at a time. Our house is a detached period stone property with 4 bedrooms and three bathrooms on the 1st and 2nd floors. 2 sitting rooms, a study, a large kitchen/diner with an electric AGA cooker and the kitchen overlooks the large garden. The garden is flat, with mature shrubs and trees and there is a large terrace adjoining the house. The house is located in a quintessential Cotswold village which has a shop, a church and a pub/restaurant. The primary consideration is looking after the dogs - three Rotties. Two of them are boys and are pretty old by Rottweiler standards and the girl is a 6 month old bitch. They are exercised and fed twice a day. Exercise for them is walking on or off leads (depending on where they are being walked) for no longer than 20 minutes per walk. They are well trained, well behaved and companionable with each other and with people. However, they have never lived with children and for this reason we do not consider it appropriate for the sitters to be accompanied by a child or children. Regarding the house, our cleaner comes twice a week and the gardeners come once a week.

Just been let down by house sitters for September and October dates which are 23rd October until 8th November. Read more...
