We’re looking for a reliable and caring house sitter for just over a week. We have a lovely two-year-old dog called Wilbur who needs a daily walk and plenty of company. So it would be ideal to have someone who wasn't away all day. We live in a spacious home on a large section of land, while still being conveniently close to town. It’s a peaceful spot and an easy place to settle in and enjoy while looking after our home and pup!
