We are looking for more than just a local person who likes dogs and is happy to walk one every so often. We want someone long term with a genuine interest, proven track record and love of dogs so that the dog and you, will feel comfortable.

The dog has a routine which needs to be followed and strictly adhered to and this includes (amongst other things):

– Regular play sessions
– Training
– Feeding & Grooming
– Observing behaviour, health and interaction with humans and other dogs

Someone with dog training experience or an interest and knowledge of dog psychology would be ideal. Must have experience of working with large dogs.

You must be commitment free you would need to travel with the dog for several weeks at a time to where the Principal might be around the world (Europe). This travel could also be at short notice.

This can be a live in or live out position (currently the person doing this role is live in) the accommodation for live in is a 2 bed flat shared with the housekeeper just down the road from the main residence.

Hours: 5 days per week (2 days off per week but not necessarily weekends). We are looking for the right person so if you MUST have weekends off then we can have a look to make it work. The hours are 7am through until the last toilet run 8-10pm. (Ideally someone who is happy to work on a rolling rota whereby they work 5 days per week but their 2 days off could fall on any days of the week.)
