South Woodford, London

About this house sitting position in South woodford

We have a 3 bedroom family house with large garden. We have wifi, washing machine, dishwasher and microwave, plenty of games and table tennis. We are within easy walking distance to local shops, supermarkets, cinema, restaurants, Epping Forest (for lovely dog walks) and South Woodford tube station (on the central line). We are a 10 minute tube journey or drive to the Olympic Park and Westfield shopping centre, and a 30 minute tube ride to central London. There is off street parking. However a car is not necessary.
We need someone to feed our shy but friendly (and talkative!) cat, Merlin twice a day. He likes to be played with, held, as well as enjoying a lap to lie on too.
Norris, our rescue dog, is friendly and loves company. He ideally needs people who have previous experience of looking after a dog. He needs to be let out in the garden first thing in the morning, last thing at night as well as 2 walks during the day. He also requires feeding twice a day. He is happiest when we are all at home relaxing so he can have endless tummy rubs! We would not want him left for more than 4 or 5 hours at a time (as is the recommended maximum time a dog should be left alone). We are happy to arrange for a dog walker to come in so that you could be away for a slightly longer period of time.
Our previous house sitters have always stayed in the nearby Travelodge the night before the house sit starts, so that there is an opportunity to go through everything and take Norris on a walk with us before we leave. Read more...
