We live walking distance from the Speyside way and moray coastal trail and there are numerous lovely walks just out our door. Although Speyside is well known for its numerous whisky distillery's it is off the beaten track as far mass tourism goes. It is an interesting part of the world with friendly people and beautiful scenery, the house I less than 10 minute walk from the river spey estuary Scotland's famous salmon river and 15 mins walk from the Moray coastal trail.
Arbeit
Looking for ideally a couple, two friends or a small family to come and dog sit. As Ace is reactive we would like two people and ideally someone with experience with reactive dogs definitely someone with lots of dog experience. He loves humans and is a big softie but doesn't like other dog. We would definitely consider 1 person if they were willing to walk the dogs separately, Jasper walks are shorter these days biof his age.

Garmouth is a charming wee village but has few amenities apart from a nice part time coffee roasters which sells lovely coffees and a pub at the gold club which is welcome to all and a nice place to sit and have a pint. You would have to get a bus to do anything other than enjoy the outdoors and hang out with the dogs by the fire. We also have bikes you can borrow to go to the nearest shop which is 3 miles away we can also arrange lifts to do this. I can pick you up from train station in Keith or Elgin and will buy you a big supermarket shop before we head off. We have lots of steaming services such as Netflix and Apple TV to cosy up to in the winter nights and plenty books to read.
We are easy going people who really love animals and are looking for similar humans to look after our boys.

Harmyn came and dog sat our greyhounds for a week and was excellent. I wouldn't hesitate recommending her to any potential hosts. She was friendly, easy going and easy to talk to and looked after the dogs very well. The house was left immaculately and she gave us regular updates and photos of our dogs. I imagine she would fit in anywhere and would… read more be a good addition to any work setting or household. Thank you Harmyn and I hope you have a great time on the rest of your travels.

Nessa and her friend Tasha came to our house for a week to look after our Greyhounds Jasper and Ace.
Before we met there was excellent communication from Nessa.
We found them both to be very friendly and kind and Jasper and Ace warmed to them immediately.
Whilst we were away Nessa gave us lots of updates of their walks etc and nice photos most… read more days. we were very happy that they were being given a high level of care and very grateful to Nessa for administering Jaspers medication. On our return, the dogs were very happy and contented and the house was spotless.
I have no hesitation in recommending Nessa she is certain to look after your pets and house very well. Thank you both so much and we hope you can come back some time!

I stayed at Gillian's house for six days, and had a wonderful time! She is really nice, accommodating, and easy to talk to, and Jasper is the sweetest. Her home is in the most beautiful location, and I enjoyed taking nature walks and soaking up the sunshine. I visited some towns nearby too, and found some sweet little spots to have coffee and ice… read more cream. She left me with paint and supplies to paint the kitchen, and it was easy work! I just played an audio book and spent a couple of afternoons painting. I would absolutely recommend this workaway.
Thanks again, Gillian! Give Jasper some love for me.

I had a wonderful time staying in Gillians home and looking after the beautiful Jasper. We were lucky enough to get some really good spring weather, so walking around the surrounding woods and castle was very enjoyable. Jasper is a sweet soul and very loving. Gillian is a very hospitable host and made my stay very welcoming. Thanks again Gillian… read more and Jasper!

Vom Workawayer (Aneta) für Host
Gill and Jasper are couple of great beings. Jasper is easygoing doggie. It was wonderful to look how happy he is and that he finally found a perfect loving home. I wish all dogs would get at least a pease of this big love what Gill gives him. Gill treated us as we would be her guests. I had a beautiful time and I’ll be happy to come back one day… read more and see how are you guys doing. And last but not least - the place is just beautiful, close to the nature
