I am looking for a reliable, mature person or couple to look after my 12 year old, male, Cairn terrier while I am away. In 2019 I will be away fairly often for a week or so at a time, and ideally I should like to find someone who lives locally and can come from time to time. My first trip is from 3-10 March.
The dog, Gatsby, is friendly and sociable. He needs one good walk a day and enjoys a second one. He does not like the heat so if it is very hot then he needs to be taken out in the morning and evening rather than the middle of the day.
You would stay in our single-family home which is spacious, airy and well appointed (though there is no television but a well-stocked library). WIFI throughout the house and garden. I will be in the UK but available by and . I would ask you to keep the house clean and tidy, to water the plants and to empty the mail box each day, in addition to looking after the dog.
Pinchat, where we live, is located within a five minute walk of Carouge which is the best part of Geneva for restaurants and interesting shops and has a market twice a week. There is public transport within 100 metres of the house and a tram directly into the centre of Geneva and the lakeside. Mont Blanc is less than an hour away and Mont Salève which you see from the house has 250km of walking trails and is accessible by public transport. There are walking paths beginning outside our house. You would be able to explore more if you had a car but even without one there are more than enough good places to explore in ten days.
