    ========
    House sitter/s wanted for 2 labrador dogs in East Sussex 11th - 21st September whilst we are away on holiday.
    ========

    We are Roz and James and we live in Chelwood Gate, on the Ashdown Forest in East Sussex with our lovely black labradors, Percy who is 4 and Remy who is 3. Roz works part-time and James is retired.

    We are looking for a confident, caring couple or person to look after them both whilst we are away on holiday. They need 2 walks a day. They love you to play with them and throw a ball for them and love a lot of affection. They are calm dogs and well trained. They have good recall and respond to their names. We are happy for them to be left for up to 5 hours maximum.

    There is plenty to do and see in our area. If you like exploring the countryside, you can walk from our house straight onto the Ashdown Forest (home of Winnie the Pooh!). Brighton is 25 minutes away, great shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs and night life. London 45 minutes by train. National Trust gardens and properties in the area too.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We live in a lovely part of England with London and Brighton both within easy travelling distance. We love walking and visiting interesting places ourselves both in the UK and abroad. We are used to people from different countries staying with us, as we have house sitters come to stay at our house when we go on holiday.

    There are 2 good pubs in Chelwood Gate and the nearest shop is in the next village of Nutley, 2 miles away. If you enjoy walking there are plenty of footpaths to explore right from our house onto the Ashdown Forest. The larger village of Forest Row is 4 miles away. We are a 15 minute drive from the towns of East Grinstead, Haywards Heath, Uckfield and Crowborough. There is plenty to do and see in the area. National Trust properties and Gardens and the towns of Lewes, Tunbridge Wells and Brighton (lots of cafes, pubs, restaurants and shops) are both within a 35 minute drive of us.
    If you don't have a car, there is an hourly bus to Haywards Heath and East Grinstead where you can get a train to London 45 minutes or Brighton 25 mintues. We can also help a bit with transport.
