Description
=====
Friday 7th August 2026 until Monday 17th August
=====
We are a family living in London with three lovely dogs and two young cats. We are looking for pair of house sitters who love animals who can take good care of them for the time we are away! We have two labradors and a Jack Russell.
We have a spacious period house (built in 1832) with a long garden. We live in a part of London next to a park (Blackheath and Greenwich Park) and just beside a train station which serves central London (journey time 12 minutes).
With this number of animals, we will need a pair of sitters. Walking the dogs needs two people who are experienced with animals.
