Why not come for a holiday. The new house should be finished in a month or so. In fact I need house and dog sitters for the 3 weeks mid May to end of first week in June. Will pay a reasonable rate as I have local cover but need a back up. Location Isle of Skye, 5 mins to the pub and very small village but shop and fuel. Carbost - Talisker Distillery, the Cuillins for hill walkers and OH can sign in guests at a nominal rate for the trout fishing - a bit early for the salmon here.
Very tentatively, might be able to arrange a sea fishing trip - pollack and mackrel. Carbost is mid Skye so very central for all tourist locations. Can make available 2 hectares of own ground without sheep for dog training and more that that with a few sheep.
Anyone interested, Google Sgurr Spaniels and you will find me or pm.
