House Sitter in South West

Hi there, we are a family of four, two boys ages 8 and 12, with a fun-loving cocker spaniel called Marley. Although we have children ourselves at this present time we are looking for a couple or solo sitter who won't need to bring any children or pets. We live in the beautiful town of Exmouth, Devon with a 10 minute walk to the beach, town centre and train station. Our 4 bed house has a large, enclosed garden which Marley loves to run, play and sunbathe in (during the summer). There are so many lovely places to visit and walks to take Marley on locally either a short walk or drive away. His routine is normally an early morning walk for half an hour then a longer 1 hour walk mid day, sometimes a stroll along the beach in the evening to see the sunset. We are going on holiday from the 28th October (actually leave early Morning so would need a sitter From 27th in the evening) and returning late on the 4th November **We are looking for a single person to come and stay at our house to take care of our lovely dog whilst we are away and enjoy the walks, garden and getting out to enjoy the beach and (fingers crossed) sunny days. **
