Hello my name is Rosie and I’ve just joined hoping to find a lovely sitter/s to look after our home and animals this summer.
I live in a really beautiful village in the heart of the Scottish Borders with my husband Alex, our three children and our lovely animals. Alex and I are both managers for two local charities, outside of work we have an active life with our kids and animals and enjoy all that the Scottish Borders Countryside has to offer.
We have three dogs, Remus our 15 year old Border Terrier is a lovely old boy who has slowed up in his old age but still loves a cuddle and a gentle stroll. We also have two Flatcoated retrievers Bella and Arya who are mum and daughter. They both adore people and are full of fun. They love swimming in the local rivers and lochs and exploring the countryside on walks, especially if they can find a large stick to bring to their human.
We have a flock of Pekin Bantam chickens which have been hand reared by my son who absolutely adores them. They are friendly little characters and love to wander around our back garden with you, busily finding bugs and bustling about. They lay delicious little eggs too!
We also have four ponies Luna and Bow are beautiful Connemara ponies that we rescued from going to the slaughter house when the stud they were on closed down. Both girls are very friendly and gentle. We also have two smaller ponies that my children ride - Harry a very friendly, cheeky, greedy boy who is unflappable and very clever. Toby is our smallest pony, he loves children but can be a bit stand off ish with adults however he soon comes around with a carrot and a scratch.
We are so lucky with where we live, our house has beautiful views, lots of space and there is loads to do and explore in our local area, we hope our sitters will love it as much as we do!
