[kerilli]

Just about to book a holiday for late Nov - early Dec and my usual superstar housesitter, the wonderful SteeleyDan, is already booked, argghhhh... so, any suggestions please? Will pay well of course. Prob 2 horses stabled at night turnout day daytime, 3 living out (just need haying and feeding), looking after dogs, chickens, ducks, etc etc (all well-behaved!) must come here and live in to keep the dogs company, unless i can get a relative to do that bit... thanks, please pm any ideas if you don't want to put it on here.
i hope this doesn't count as advertising, it's more a plea for suggestions! thankyou.

Safe as Houses http://www.safeashouses.biz/ just had them do a 2 week sit. Looking after 9 month old german shepherd puppy, 6 hens, 3cats and the house plants, sitters were lovely couple called David and Mo. Came home to find David had even mowed the lawns. House very neat and tidy amimals looked very well.

Diane Conway (owner) comes with the potential sitter/sitters to a assessment meeting to make sure everyone is happy.

We have used them a number of times now and have always been more than happy with the service.
