House-sitting in Rosano

Needs and animals

Big garden | Pool maintenance | 2 Dogs

We have Blue (m) and Suki (f), two beautiful border collies who are very easy to look after.
They're happiest after a big walk each morning and plenty of pats and cuddles, then another walk in the afternoon. We take them on anything from a chill 3km loop of our area, to 12km hikes around the mountains.
We live in Rosano, a beautiful area of Tuscany, surrounded by lots of official hiking trails, signposted by the "rosso-bianco" trail markings. Suki is a little obsessed with cats and tends to pull on her lead a bit more but they have a lovely nature and are great around people and children.

For the rest of the day, they're very happy pottering around the house and garden and will often sleep quite a bit in the day/afternoon. They get fed twice a day, morning and night and sleep inside. If you leave the property, we keep them inside.

In terms of house maintenance, just make sure the garden is watered if it hasn't rained in a while, enjoy the pool, take the bins out when full and keep the house clean and tidy please. Pool filter goes on for 2hours per …

Nicola and James are absolutely charming and very welcoming hosts; it was a real pleasure to meet them. Their two dogs, brother and sister, are very easy-going and adorable. The typical Tuscan house has a lot of character, and the property, covered with olive trees, offers beautiful views of the Arno Valley. The place is very quiet and relaxing. Magnificent Florence is only 14 km away. What else?
