Saffron Walden, East of England

About this house sitting position in Saffron Walden

I'm looking for someone to love and care for my 2 small dogs ages 15 and 4 and my home with goldfish in the pond while I'm away for just over a month.

My home is a 3 bedroom detached house built in 2011. It was originally a 5 bedroom with 4 upstairs and one downstairs. The master is 2 made into one big bedroom with an en-suite and the downstairs bedroom has been converted into a dining room. There is a family bathroom as well as the en-suite and a downstairs toilet/wash room, front and back gardens, driveway and cart lodge with space for 2 cars. A large lounge with patio doors and fireplace. Separate dining room, laundry room with washer and dryer, a large kitchen with dishwasher, all appliances, dining table and chairs and back door to the garden. We have broadband, smart tv etc. Central underfloor heating with radiators upstairs.

I have goldfish in the garden pond and two small dogs, a chihuahua cross 15 years old and a French Bulldog 4 years.

The dogs are easy. They just need to be fed, watered, let out frequently for the toilet, a short walk (although they like long ones too), and love as much fuss and attention as they can get. They can be left for a few hours without problems. Both girls are well behaved and house trained.

The fish need some food flakes sprinkled once a day and that’s it.

Other than the animals, the plants will need watering indoors and outdoor potted plants will need water. The grass usually needs cutting every 7 to ten days. Rubbish bins need to be put out once a week for collection.

I have a lady who occupys a bedroom as a lodger. She is a nurse and works very long shifts. She is very quiet and keeps herself to herself. I hardly see her but she does use the kitchen and one bathroom. She doesn't use the rest of the house.

The house sitter will have use of the master bedroom with ensuite bathroom. It has views over the front and back gardens and is a very comfortable spacious room. I will leave a detailed guide to how everything works in the house and with the dogs. Read more...
