    We’re going on vacation from 27.10 to 10.11 and are looking for someone to stay at our place and keep our dogs company. We have two huskies and a little petit brabançon. They’re all very social and pretty low-maintenance. They love having people around, and even though they have a big yard to run around in, they do need one walk a day.

    The huskies are outdoor sleepers (when it is not too cold), but our petit is a cuddle bug—he’s used to sleeping in the bed with someone, so at least he’ll need to be in the same room as you at night.

    You’ll have the house to yourself while we’re away, with a beautiful view to enjoy. You’re also welcome to arrive a few days earlier, or stay a few days longer if it suits you—we’d be happy to host you a bit before and after our trip.

    If you love dogs and don’t mind sharing some affection with them, this will be a perfect fit!
