Runcorn, North West England

We would appreciate it if housesitters would housesit for us from Tuesday 13th October to 5th November. Ideally we are looking for a couple of non smokers to care for our 2 Chinese geese and look after our house & garden. The sitters will have responsibility for feeding the geese twice daily, letting them out in the morning, cleaning out their house, replenishing the wood shavings used as bedding and in the late afternoon emptying, brushing and filling the goose pond using a hose pipe. Before dusk the geese are guided into their house and locked up for the night. In the morning housesitters can expect to spend a maximum of 30 minutes and in the evening 45 minutes to care for our geese.
We live in a 17th century sandstone cottage in Halton Village, Cheshire close to the M56 motorway. Shops, supermarkets and the bus station are 10 minutes walk away. The intercity train from London to Liverpool stops at Runcorn and is 2 miles away, about an eight minute drive. Liverpool is 18 miles, Manchester 32 miles and the medieval city of Chester 16 miles away.
