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. There are 2 sitting rooms, a study, a large kitchen/diner with an electric AGA cooker, utility room etc., and the kitchen overlooks the half an acre garden with views of the hills and the village church. The garden is mainly flat, with lawns, 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 village shop, an C11th church and a popular pub/restaurant. Nearest towns are Chipping Norton, Moreton-in-Marsh or Shipston on Stour. The nearest station is in Moreton-in-Marsh and there is a bus service passing through the village which travels between Chipping Norton and Stratford upon Avon. There are several supermarkets in Chipping Norton including an M and S Food Hall.

The primary consideration is looking after our family - our three Rotties. Two of them are boys and are pretty old by Rottweiler standards aged 14 and 11, and the girl is 2 years old. They are exercised and fed twice a day. Exercise for them is walking on or off leads (depending on which dog is being walked and 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. The girl is exuberant and extremely alert. 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. They are large dogs and strong and therefore we believe it is more appropriate for a couple to look after them rather than a single person.

Regarding the house, our cleaner comes twice a week and our gardeners are here once a week. The house is spacious with "all mod cons" and fast fibre broadband, Sky TV and Internet TV.

We are also hoping that the same sitters will be able to be here from for all our sitting requirements in 2020. Those dates are


25th April to 13th May
11th to 27th June
