Winchester, South East England

About this house sitting position in Winchester

The dreaded time of the year when we want to go on holiday but don’t want to put our pets into kennels 😪

Instead, we can offer the right person use of a detached house with 1/3 acre garden, 20 minutes’ walk from the centre of the beautiful, historic city of Winchester with its plentiful shops, supermarkets, cafés, cathedral, cinema, pubs etc.. The house is also only a couple of miles from beautiful countryside walks and an excellent farm shop and café.

There is a train station in Winchester with links to London and the south coast, but it would be useful to have a car to reach the local countryside walks which surround us and, if desired, the New Forest and south coast which are an hour or so away.

You will stay in a double room with ensuite (and a twin room plus family bathroom if here with your children) as well as desk space for home working and a spacious home with off-street parking.

In return, we ask that you look after our house, our two chilled tabby cats (Cato 13 and Jerry 15, both male and neutered) and our incredibly friendly 9.5-year old Cocker Spaniel Mimi (female, neutered).

The cats are fed in the mornings (they have a cat flap so come and go) and Mimi is fed twice a day and needs walking. She can be left for up to four hours but is used to and likes company. She travels well in the car so can come with you on outings if appropriate. Some watering of plants inside the house is required, and in the garden too during the hotter months please.

We are looking for someone kind, honest, reliable and caring who can look after our lovely home and animals for just under two weeks whilst we are on holiday with our grown-up children.

We look forward to hearing from you and are happy to provide more information should it be required. References and DBS check are required please. We would be happy to discuss reasonable payment of your travel expenses.

Thanks so much in advance.

Best,

Kirstie and Chris Read more...
