We are looking for someone to dogsit Romero, our bearded collie from 14-25 May 2026 approx.
My husband and I live in a beautiful detached house in a conservation area with a large garden. We are just a minute's walk away from Rudyard Lake in the Staffordshire Moorlands, with views out to the Peak District National Park, and a five minute drive from the vibrant market town of Leek, with lots of independent shops and events.
There are fantastic walks right on our doorstep and Rudyard Lake is great for paddle-boarding, kayaking and other water sports. Romero is a great dog and needs a couple of walks a day.

Staffordshire Moorlands is a natural gem at the edge of the Peak District. Leek, our local town, has a rich textile heritage and is graced with many fine buildings, a great local Arts centre, festivals, and regular music events. We both work in fashion and have a good collection of art-related books and our house is a combination of folk art and art deco.

Romero is a very friendly bearded collie - lots of people say he's their favourite dog in the world. He's eight years old and ideally needs a walk in the morning and one in the afternoon. They don't need to be super long walks, although he's very happy to go for miles, but ideally he'd be out for at least an hour a day and ideally more. The rest of the time he's usually sleeping, although he loves to bark at the postman, the milk lady and the bin men. Our house is on the market, so obviously please keep the house clean as well!
Four bedroom detached house with three double rooms, guest room with en suite. Better for someone with own transport, but there is a bus from Rudyard into Leek approximately every two hours. Milk delivery can be arranged twice a week.
Was noch ...
Great walks and not far from historic houses like Chatsworth.

Jack and Nicole were absolutely outstanding Workawayers. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking reliable, passionate, and capable help. Although this was their first Workaway experience, they approached it with such enthusiasm and professionalism it was hard to believe they were newcomers. From the moment they arrived, it was… read more clear we were leaving Romero and our home in safe and capable hands.
Their communication was excellent throughout, which made all the difference while we were away. They kept us updated with daily photos and videos of Romero, showing him enjoying walks both near and far.
When we returned, we found Romero happy, healthy, and well-groomed—evidence of the love and attention he had received. The house was even cleaner than when we left! After chatting with them, it was obvious how much care and effort they had put into Romero’s daily routine, from long walks to plenty of stick and ball games.
Jack and Nicole are not only hardworking and dependable but also genuinely likeable and sociable, which made the entire experience so much more enjoyable. They’ve embarked on a new chapter in life, having left their previous jobs for a lifestyle change, and I have no doubt they will thrive wherever their journey takes them.
We wholeheartedly recommend Jack and Nicole for any Workaway position and wish them all the best in their future adventures. Anyone who has the pleasure of hosting them will be incredibly fortunate, and we'd love to host them again for any future dogsitting needs.
We really enjoyed our stay at Carry and Mark's house in Leek, looking after their wonderful dog Romero. This was our first workaway and they made us feel very welcome and comfortable during the days we spent with them. The house was clean and cozy, with a fireplace and lots of wood to keep us warm! Lots of areas around for walking and even a lake… read more right by the house. Also only a short 5 minute drive into the town of Leek where you can get anything you need.
Carry and Mark are both very friendly and knowledgeable people, who have alot of stories and experiences to share! Mark's cooking is amazing and he taught us how to make Takoyaki's which was fun! Carry also gave us some of her homemade Jam and a Christmas card which was lovely!
Romero is super cute and playful, very friendly and a breeze to take care of. He loved showing us around the area! Taking him on daily walks was fun and refreshing, we even had some snow to play in for a few days! We would definitely come back to look after Romero again in the future. Thank you so much Carry and Mark for the opportunity!

Vom Host für Workawayer (Eduardo)
Eduardo has been a fantastic guest. He is very easy to have around, intelligent, a good conversationalist and it’s been a really good cultural interchange. We have improved our Spanish, while Eduardo has brushed up on his already excellent English. He is hardworking and diligent and has been happy to share household chores like washing up after… read more meals. It has been a pleasure having Eduardo to stay with us for the past few weeks and we wish him well with finding future workaway hosts.
