A housesitter's primary responsibility would be to look after our dog and cat, Paco and Sparrow. Both are lively and affectionate, and they need lots of attention and play time. We would expect a sitter to take good care of our home and respect our privacy, but we do have a cleaner and wouldn't expect any heavy duty cleaning! Please note that Paco is NOT neutered, however Sparrow is.

We live in a detached Victorian home with its own garden. The house is set over 4 floors and has 4 bedrooms. A sitter would usually stay in the spare bedroom. There is a large sitting room and a playroom, as well as an eat-in kitchen and study. It's in a nice, leafy neighbourhood with plenty of parks and independent shops and restaurants nearby, and very good transport links to central London and beyond.

We have all the usual on-demand TV channels as well as a study full of books. The garden is lovely and tranquil in the summer and attracts lots of birds.

Our neighbourhood is pretty quiet although it's also central and close to lots of amenities. Camden Town is just two stops away on the Underground, Hampstead Heath is about 20 minutes' walk and there are lots of smaller parks nearby. There are also a terrific sourdough bread shop, a butcher and fish monger, and a really good whole foods store. In terms of restaurants there are several good places within walking distance of our house: Thai, French, Japanese and pizza, along with the usual chains.

It's hard to know where to begin, except to say that we are in central London. The city is filled with art galleries, theatre, live music and more. Our neighbourhood is just a few stops from the centre of town on the Underground so in about 30 minutes door to door you can find yourself at a West End theatre just in time for the latest musical. London also has the advantage of several large parks that are both central (Hyde and Regents parks) and further afield (Richmond). And of course the city is loaded with historical attractions such as the Tower of London and Hampton Court, along with the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey.
