Hi, my partner and I are in our late 50's / early 60’s and have both been pet lovers from the beginning. I grew up in the country and had multiple pets as a child, including 2-3 dogs at any one time, cats, birds, fish, rabbits and turtles. We no longer have pets of our own, as we want the freedom to be able to travel for extended periods now that we are semi-retired. My partners' last dogs were two dachshunds, the last one reached the ripe old age of 16.5 years. Our yard is totally secure and fully fenced, so your pet wont get out and the 2 metre high side gate is key locked for added security. Your pet will have human company every day as I work from home and my partner works part time. Depending on what your pet is used to and it's temperament, it can sleep in the house with us at night time - or in our room. Otherwise they can sleep downstairs in our bathroom with access out to the back yard. There is also a covered area at the back of the house that can house your pets bed / kennel, if it's used to sleeping outside. The long yard is nice and grassy, lots of plants. Your pet can relax in the sun if it chooses, or under the shade of a tree. Your pet will have access to both inside and outside the house 24/7. We will happily take your dog for a walk (or several 😊) each day to the dog park which is about 7 mins walk from our house, or along the paths on the beach front. You can rest assured your furry friend is in safe and reliable hands, while you're away on holidays. We will do everything possible to make them feel safe, happy and content while they’re in our care and we will send you regular updates and photo's. For all pet visiting and feeding at your home, this applies to local areas only, so about a 7klm radius from Fairlight. We also accept extended bookings of up to several months, which we happily offer good discounts on once we've had a successful "meet and greet". If you find the dates are not available for the whole time that you need to book, please reach out to us anyway, as sometimes we can offer some flexibility that is not showing up in our calendar - particularly for our regulars. Thanks :-)...
