We need a house sitter

Nelson / Marlborough - Nelson

Debs

House sitter needed to look after my 4 year old very friendly Staffy Cross Bert and cat Ernie (1 year). Bert loves going on walks and otherwise just needs lots of cuddles and playing tug - he is very friendly. Ernie the cat needs the odd cuddle (if he chooses) and feeding for both (more details to follow). Ernie usually spends most of the day asleep on the bed and comes and goes in the evening - he spends quite a bit of time at the neighbours playing with their cat (Unit 1). Both are healthy. Bert is insured with PD Insurance and both are registered with Stoke Vets.

Bert is very friendly and well socialised. He is crate trained but usually sleeps on the sofa. I have a pet door they both use so no need to let them in and out of the house. Bert goes out with a dog walker a couple of days a week. Bert needs two hay fever tablets a day in the morning in a cube of Possyum.

You might need to water the garden once or twice but otherwise should be fine. Lovely indoor outdoor flow and you can chill out on the swing seat. I have two heat pumps so warm in winter, cool in summer, HRV, two bedrooms, patio and garden. You can park up the driveway in front of the garage. Very friendly neighbours who can answer any questions and have a spare key and I will just be an email or phone call away.

I will leave notes on feeding etc.

Look forward to hearing from you! Would be great to meet you so you can see the house and meet Bert.

Thank you Debs for allowing us to spend time with your two most adorable fur-babies!! Ernie and Bert were a delight to hang out with. Thanks too for all your great communication - Welcome home!
 
DANA & DEAN (Jun 2024 - 3 weeks)
We enjoyed our few days with Bert and Ernie. Bert is extremely friendly, well trained and a pleasure to look after. The kitten is gorgeous and the dog is very affectionate with him. Debs explained everything very well regarding feeding etc. and we kept in touch during her absence. The house is small but comfortable and we enjoyed lunch in the garden. There are some lovely walks close by. We can recommend this sit.

It was nice being able to housesit for Deborah. Bert and Jasper were very friendly and welcoming. It was fun to take Bert out walking and he is a very cheerful dog. Jasper the cat was a bit more quiet but did come out for some pats and food during the evening time. It was in a convenient location, being very easy to walk down to the Stoke shops or cycle down the railway reserve. Happy to recommend :)
