Peaceful Retreat in the Wicklow Mountains, Ireland

About this assignment

I'm looking for someone who is ok with solitude. Someone who is kind to animals. Couples, are of course, most welcome to my cottage.
I'm looking for house sitters on the following dates:

Tuesday 16 July to Saturday 20 July - BOOKED
Wednesday 7 August to Saturday 10 August
Wednesday 21 August to Monday 9 September - BOOKED
Monday 21 October to Friday 25 October
Sunday 17 November to Thursday 21 November

With flexibility by one or two days either side of the above dates.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

Looking after my two dogs and my hens.
Feeding the dogs and taking them for walks.
Feeding the hens, cleaning out hen coop (if necessary), collecting (and eating!) the eggs.

What are the good features of the property and location

My cottage is very remote, 10 minutes drive to the nearest village! My nearest neighbour is 2km away! So it is very peaceful. There is NO mobile phone coverage but I have excellent internet and Sky TV. The cottage is on 3 acres, surrounded by forestry and also has direct access to The Wicklow Way, Ireland's premier hiking route.

What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment

All applicants must have their own transport as my cottage is very remote - see above. The nearest village is 10 minutes drive away, the nearest supermarket is 30 minutes drive away.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
