Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
With the Irish sea and the Wicklow mountains right on your doorstep there are many group trips based in the area that bring you hiking or on seaside adventures. Take a Kayak around the rugged coast or visit Killiney Hill past Bonos house or nearby Dalkey Island, climb up Bray Head or visit the beautiful grounds of historical Kilruddery House.

Help
We would love someone to come stay from Sep 18th to Oct 24th, to take care of Pancake our cat and dog Sally while we are away.
Both pets are fairly easy to look after but they do like to wake up by 8am!
Sally loves people, sleeps through the night and is housetrained. She needs 2 walks a day in the local park (2 mins away) and the only issue is that she is still a little nervous of traffic and loud sounds but she is improving every day!
Pancake is shy at first but once he knows you he is very friendly. He also sleeps through the night and is housetrained to go out into the garden , so no litter trays! -

Accommodation
We live in a one bed garden apartment on a lovely street full of Victorian and Georgian homes.
There is 2GB Wifi, TV with all the channels, Netflix, Comfy Double bed, dishwasher, instant hot water shower and you have the place to yourself. You are also welcome to help yourself to any food items in the kitchen. It's a great location 100m from the seafront with many cafes, activities and a busy library 5 mins walk away. -
What else ...
We're a 4 min walk away Bray train and bus station so lots to see and do and easy to get around. You can visit Bray head, neighbouring Dalkey or Greystones, sea swim or visit the local saunas.

Sally
Sally is a collie dog that we recently adopted.
Pancake
Pancake is roughly 5 years old and was adopted by us in Jul 25. He was found living in a coal shed with a broken jaw but thanks to a cat rescue he's now all fixed up and rules the roost in his new home.
