Anyone want a cheap 3-month holiday in Cornwall?
« on: May 20, 2009, 09:53:13 PM »
A friend of mine is looking for a house- and dog-sitter for three months this summer for another friend of hers.

Here's what she says:

"Is there a dog-lover out there, who wants to be a house sitter for 3 months at a glorious country cottage near Lamorna in West Penwith while owner goes to Barcelona to satisfy tango-centric urges ? If you are a dog-lover, with references regarding reliability, willing to pay your own costs during the stay, (no rent, just costs) please email giving some details of yourself and a phone number."

If anyone is really interested, please PM me and I can pass on the email address. Serious enquiries only, please.

I don't get along with pit bulls or dobermans. They always want to sample my meat. ;D

I'm already jealous of whoever takes advantage of this opportunity...I'd do it in a heartbeat if I didn't have animals here relying on me, and that pesky need for a regular paycheck...

Although I  do know a very sweet writer who might be interested, I'll see :)
They need somewhere quite to finish something they've been advanced for :)  I think London is doing his head in , he has a rabbit, I wonder if he could bring him?

If she ends up splitting the time up, I'd love to do it for a few weeks, and I ADORE dogs, I'd love to have one, but working prohibits :(
