    Hi.
    We live in Northern Ireland in a semi rural property. At present we have 2 fox red labs and a jack Russell. We go away from time to time and need someone or a couple to look after the house and dogs. Some gardening know-how would also be very handy. A car would be useful.
    We live is a lovely part of NI at the head of Strangford Lough. Access to lots of hiking and walks in the Mourne mountains.

    We are close to Belfast and 2/3 hours from Dublin so day trips etc would be possible.
