Dog sitting & House Sitting- near Dublin, Ireland

Details

• 

  Description

  We're looking for someone to come and house sit for a couple of weeks this Spring. This would be an ideal workaway for a couple. We have a modern house in a small village in just outside of Dublin Ireland- we're an hour by bus to Dublin city centre. We're looking for someone who can look after the dog, take her on 2 walks a day and just hang out and feed her. Some additional bits- watering the plants. We might ask for some light house cleaning- but nothing major.

  Help

  Our dog, Mabel is a 2 year old German Shepard. She is extremely friendly. We are looking for someone who can come stay in our home while we're away as we don't want to disrupt her routine. She gets 2 walks a day (30 minutes each) and the rest of the days would just be spend hanging out with her- we both work from home so she's not used to being left alone for too long. We'd ask that whoever comes to stay be willing to not leave her for too long during the day- there is a bus that comes every hour just outside of the estate that can take you into Dublin. We'd ask that whoever come to stay be a non smoker, and tidy.
