About this house sitting position in Ruthin

Hi, we live 2 miles outside the town of Ruthin, North Wales in a detached 4 bed house with 10 acres which was formerly a farm and own 5 adult English Springer Spaniels and two Spaniel crosses. We are going away from 7-14 October this year then also from 24-28 October. We are looking for somebody to dog/house-sit for us on either one or both these periods. Although our 18 year old granddaughter is prepared to look after our dogs would rather engage an experienced adult who has more maturity. Our dogs would need to be exercised for 45 minutes minimum twice a day in our field by basic ball throwing. Only 2 are lead trained as the Springers are primarily working dogs but it is not necessary to take them out on walks. If you go out they can be left for 3 hours at a time indoors. They can all be left in the garden if dry for 1-2 hours at a time then brought in to rest. All live in the house but split into different areas i.e. 2 in the utility, 2 in the kitchen and 3 in the lounge/hallway. All of them are friendly and good natured. The only time some of them bark is territorially when somebody walks past on the private lane which is rare. We will supply all food for these periods plus the relevant fees. Thanking you in advance!!! Read more...
