We need a house sitter

Waikato - Hamilton

alison

We are a family of 4 living centrally in Raglan. Our house has three bedrooms and a large garden. We love to get away camping and would happily take our dogs but we are walking a track that is dog free so thought we'd see if anyone is keen for a holiday in our awesome beach town! Raglan is a great place for a holiday with lots of water sports and cafes.

The dogs are both schnauzers and are used to two 20-40 minute walks a day - mostly on the lead. They have a pen in the garden that they can be left in for short periods of time but the property is not fully fenced so they need to be taken out on a lead. They can be a little grumpy with other dogs (especially when on a lead) so need careful handling and ideally someone with dog experience. Although they love to run free at the beach, they will run off if they pick up a scent and may not return for 5-50 minutes! At home, they are very much part of the family so are used to lots of attention and sleeping on beds.

Please note my mum lives under the house in a fully self contained apartment. She may or may not be here depending on holiday plans. If she is here - she can let them out for the toilet but isn't able to walk them.

We had a wonderful stay at Alison's home in Raglan. We were made to feel very welcome. Great communication and preparation to look after Barney and Toby. We enjoyed daily walks and trips to the beach. After an initial settling in period they were wonderful to look after and we missed them thoroughly after we left. Glad to hear you had a enjoyable trip away. We'd love to come back to look after your special fury friends again sometime.
