Needs and animals

1 Dog | 3 Cats

We’re looking for a calm, reliable house & pet sitter to look after our home while we’re away.

Daily tasks are straightforward:
• Feed our 3 cats twice a day
• Feed our frienfdly pointed griffon Luna once a day and give them basic company
• Water house plants / outdoor plants as needed
• Keep the house tidy and clean (normal day-to-day care, nothing heavy)
• Receive mail / parcels and keep an eye on the house

This is very much about care and presence rather than hard work. We’re looking for someone who is comfortable around animals, respectful of a lived-in home, and happy with a quiet, rural rhythm.

Experience with pets and house-sitting is ideal. Practical, responsible people preferred.

Our cats are mostly outdoor cats but will come in more during winter. Our dog Luna loves to play and there are great walks from the mill all around
