Saxlingham Nethergate, Norwich, East of England

About this house sitting position in Saxlingham Nethergate, Norwich

Enjoy a charming detached country home with enclosed garden and courtyard and care for Mr Lime, our wonderful miniature schnauzer.

Our stylish comforting home includes living room with log burner, separate dining room, kitchen with all modern amenities, utility room and separate toilet all downstairs. Upstairs are two bedrooms with super king beds and high quality linen, an office/study and a bathroom with bath and shower. High speed WiFi.

Set in a peaceful South Norfolk village with the countryside and beautiful walks on our doorstep. The rolling sand-dune beaches of Norfolk are 30 minutes drive away and the historic town of Norwich city just 20 minutes up the road.

Offstreet parking is provided and Mr Lime loves car journeys. While there is a local bus service into Norwich city, having a car would be easiest to access all the wide open spaces and market towns on your doorstep.

Mr Lime is a one year old miniature schnauzer and is a loving, social dog. The key responsibility is giving him a loving, safe and secure environment while we are away. This involves:

- feeding him twice a day in the morning and evening. He doesn't need any regular medication but does like treats and chews
- two 30-45 minute walks each day. One in the morning and one in the late afternoon/early evening. There are a range of walking options directly from our house - whether it is through the woods into the countryside or up to the historic church and across to garden allotments, or through country lanes.
- brushing his coat at least every second day, which he enjoys as you wind down at the end of the day.
- generally just enjoying his company and having play time through the day. He loves being out and about so some form of socialising every few days would be great, whether its a coffee in town or a visit to the beach.

In terms of the house, it would be keeping it tidy and orderly, no smoking indoors and we love our neighbours and the peaceful environment, so as courtesy to them no loud music or parties.

The local bus service is quite infrequent so ideally sitters will need their own transport. Mr Lime travels in the back seat of the car with safety harness and usually falls straight to sleep.

We're a fun loving foodie couple with a mini schnauzer who enjoy music, cooking, travelling and laughter. We're planning some travel adventures over the next twelve months to visit family and would love someone to enjoy our home and look after Mr Lime. Read more...
