We think the Gaeilge phrase ‘Anam Cara’ (‘soul friend’ in English) is an apt name for our home, due to its relaxing location amid the soothing beauty of the surrounding Donegal landscape. We are looking for reliable, honest and nature loving persons who also love dogs. We have a 4 year old border collie, Siog (Irish for fairy) who loves walks and company and as journalists, we have to travel on assignments. Our home sitter(s) will have to enjoy living in the countryside, surrounded by hills, islands and sea, be prepared to go for daily walks with Siog (our dog), maintain the house on a daily basis, water the house plants and maintain a small vegetable garden (mainly weeding and enjoying some of the crops).
It is very important to consider renting a car as the area can only be enjoyed if one can reach easily to different places. Also, a love of dogs is very important as Siog, our dog, is used to traveling with us in the car to walks and day trips. She also sleeps in the house (in her own bed) during the night.
