House sit AVENEL

46 Days stay
Responsiveness
We have two friendly, large dogs who are both in good health. Maisie is a 6-year-old German wire hair pointer and Ollie is a 13-year-old labrador. They both are great companions. Maisie loves a daily walk, and Ollie is happy to join a short walk once a week. Maisie and Ollie are largely outdoor dogs and sleep on the deck in kennels but they enjoy spending part of the evening on their mats indoors with us. Maisie especially loves cuddles and pats, and both dogs respond well to everyday commands and attention.

We would love to meet our sitters well prior to the house sit and acquaint you with our dogs.
