I am seeking a house sitter to care for Sophie, a Kelpie cross Staffie, and Archie, a small shitzu/maltese. Sophie is a very quiet, friendly dog, hardly ever barks. She loves people and other animals, including dogs, goats, cows and cats. We haven't yet encountered any other animals. She is affectionate and loves company. She walks well on a lead and understands most simple instructions (hand and/or voice) She can be left alone for a couple of hours but get anxious if it's for any longer. I am also responsible while his owner is away, for a little shitzu/maltese terrier who is equally well behaved.

My house is a 1970s, ex-government house, plain but containing every facility you might need. It is on a T-junction with both streets about 200 metres from the beach, one of which is a lead-free dog exercise area. Altogether there are 3 off-lead beaches, an enclosed exercise area and several other areas where dogs can roam free.

Unfortunately, my back garden is a bit of a jungle because I have arthritis and it is difficult to do much. You would not be expected to look after it unless you feel like it. I will try to do some work on it before you come.

I have a small mazda 2 car which you are welcome to use while you are here if you are over 25 and have a clean driving licence.
