Description
Hello!,
We are Linda and Philip,
We are seeking one (or two) people to help us.
Your primary responsibilities would be to look after our dogs (4) and cats (2) while we take short holidays but also to help us by clearing out a very overgrown polytunnel and preparing it for next year's growing season.
We sometimes foster dogs for a local rescue centre and get the dogs ready for their forever homes so there may be another dog here in October.
We would also like some help to keep the house clean and tidy.
The dates we particularly need someone is from the 20th October to 17th November but you could come a little before the 20th and stay a little longer than the 17th

We also learnt interesting and useful information about organic… read more
Our garden is also looking great again:)
They did so much more than we asked of them. They kept our house clean and tidy, fed the dogs, cats and hens, (and more importantly to us they loved our animals and were so kind to them). They cooked for us and gave us back our much neglected garden. I can't praise… read more
