    Description

    I'm Tara, mother to three, youngest boy aged 13 and two adult kids. We have two dogs, Phoebe aged 9 and Achill 2 years
    I need a dog sitter for short breaks from time to time. We live in a 3 bed house in a rural area by the coast. You can walk to the village, courtmacsherry, with shop, pubs and restaurants in a few minutes.
    We have a couple of bikes you can borrow if you like to see the local area.
    It is good to understand that the experience is what you make of it. You will have plenty of free time but the important thing is you love animals, enjoy walking and being outdoors and are responsible. It helps if you are independent, sociable and adventurous enough to find your way around and meet people.
    My middle son, Ruairi, is 20 and working fulltime. You may be sharing the house with him but the responsibility for the two dogs, feeding and exercise, will be yours. Achill the collie is an anxious boy and needs lots of exercise.
