    Description

    Hello,

    We live in very close (less than 5 minutes walk) to the beach in Southbourne, Dorset. There are loads of lovely walks on the doorstep.

    We have two dogs, Islay and Jaffa, who adore cuddles. We are looking for someone to come and help look after them and keep them company.

    We have good internet and you can easily work here remotely.

    Having a car isn't essential as there is a bus stop at the end of our road and plenty of shops on Southbourne Grove all within 5-10minute walking distance.

    Hengisbury Head is a stunning nature reserve not far away. Bournemouth, Christchurch, Mudeford and the New Forest are all also within easy reach.

    There's lots of great outdoor activities like paddling boarding, cycling, sailing and other sports close by.

    Places like the Jurassic Coast, Purbecks, Durdle Door (one of my favourite places in the world! It's incredible for watching sunsets or seeing the stars) and the New Forest are all local, great for exploring and easily accessible either by bike or public transport.

    London is only 2 hours by train.

    Help

    Feed and walk Islay and Jaffa, and provide lots of cuddles for them. Keep the house clean and look after the garden.

    Dogs are fed twice daily, in the morning and evening. They have a walk in the morning at 7am and another walk around 6/7pm in the evening.
