Grantski
Budapest late June and early July 2023, with a pool and a shady terrace. One energetic dog, a German Pointer, one year old, needing an hour’s walk minimum daily, he has good recall, and one dachshund who is easy / a couch potato.
Description
Our house is lovely in the summer, as there is a shady terrace and a pool. It has no a/c but doesn’t usually get too hot, as it’s on the side of a hill and well shaded by mature trees. We have two dogs. One needs a daily walk, on an island in the Danube which is 20 minutes drive. There is a car to use for going to the dog walking island, and public transport generally recommended for going into the city, which is an easy 15 minute bus ride from the end of our street.
Property Type: House (detached / semi-detached)
Responsibilities: Ensuring the dogs are well looked after, fed twice per day, and that the younger one is walked daily for at least an hour. Being careful not to let the dachshund slip out when opening the foot gate (she will try) and observing careful protocol when entering and leaving the property with a vehicle to ensure the dogs don’t escape. Pool chemicals & poo pickup.
Points of interest:
Supermarket, Flea Market, Fresh Food / Farmers Market, Public Transport, Cafes & Restaurants, Live Music Venue, River, Historical Interest, Hiking Trails
Things to know: If our handyman is working there is nothing to do but enjoy. If not, the pool will need chlorine every couple of days, and the dog poo will need picking up from around the garden twice / week. Our older dog (dachshund) is easy / low maintenance; our younger dog (German Pointer) requires some experience - I would not recommend for someone who is not confident of handling dogs. He has great recall, is very clever (can open most doors), very tall (can reach anything left on a kitchen top) and extremely friendly.
