We are reposting this - we had found someone, but due to unforeseen circumstances they had to cancel and we need to find someone new.
We have 2 old dogs (15 and 13) and 3 cats. Unfortunately, due to our oldest dog having anxiety around other dogs he doesn't know we are unable to put them in a Kennel. Please note that ideally, we'd like people who can work from home or have the flexibility to. Our dogs are not used to being left alone for very long periods of time.
You have full access to our house, streaming services, gaming devices etc. At this stage, we'd prefer no children in the house as it's not really set up for it, apologies.
Our oldest dog sleeps on the bed but needs help getting on it. The other one is no longer allowed on the bed as he sometimes accidentally poops in his sleep. You will need to keep an eye on that as he will wake you up at night to be let out, but sometimes he doesn't make it all the way out, so we usually just pick it up and flush it down.
There are stairs in the house which both dogs need encouragement to go up and down, especially the 13-year-old.
The cats are pretty chill and low maintenance, you just need to make sure their litter trays are cleaned every day. We only allow one of the cats out, the other two are not allowed outside, so it's easier if none of the cats are let out while we are away to make it easier (we can explain this and leave it to whoever ends up helping us out).
There are neighbours who live in the studio apartment downstairs who will be there to help/support if needed. They have offered to look after the pets for us, however, we need someone to sleep with the dogs every night because of their needs, which is why we are posting here.
If you are able to help us out, please reach out! Bonus, we have a really lovely view and a gondola to come up and down!
