This is an unusual ad. I basically need a housemate who is prepared to look after my dog, a 10 year old greyhound, while I travel.
I have housemates now and I'm very used to sharing the house but both are leaving over the next couple of months. One is returning home after completing her studies and the other has a promotion within the NHS and is moving up north.
I've decided to try and travel a bit more in a classic camper van.
I need someone, or a couple, or maybe 2 sharers, who'll be able to juggle their work and social life and look after a dog.
She, Yumi, sleeps most of the time and is happy with a walk, or two, 2 meals a day and being let out occasionally.
She's a quiet, reserved dog who can be stubborn but responds to treats.
She responds positively to females but is more reserved and sometimes fearful of men. I would therefore much prefer females housemates but I wouldn't rule out a couple, maybe on a short term basis.
It's the first time I've looked for housemates specifically with my dog as the focus and when I travel i need to be sure that she'll be ok.
I happy to give my information on request and answer any questions.
I'm not rushing off. I'll do short local trips first to see how things go.
The house is comfortable. All mod cons as they say. Great area. Loads to do in Beckenham.
The rent will be negotiable depending on whether I'm travelling or not. Lower when I'm away to reflect the extra "duties".
Obviously I'm looking for a dog lover/s. Non smokers. Someone/s who'll get along with me and my dog. We're both easy going generally, friendly, warm and funny.
I'm planning to include pictures yet.
Very happy to talk, meet andcarrange viewings.
