CELPIP Writing Task 1 Sample Answer: Pet-Sitting Plans

Subject: Seeking Pet-Sitter for Luna (July 4–6) Dear Alex, I hope this finds you well. I’m planning a quick getaway from Friday, July 4 (departing at 9 AM), through Sunday evening (returning by 8 PM), and I’m hoping you could look after Luna. She thrives on routine: two meals at 8 AM and 6 PM, plus brisk 20-minute walks each morning and evening. You’ll find her leash, collar, and food in the hallway closet, and I’ve tucked a spare key under the doormat for easy access. In gratitude, I’d love to offer you $50 or repay the favor with any help you need. Could you please let me know if this works for you? Thank you for considering—I know Luna would be thrilled to spend time with you! Best regards, [Your Name]

Dear Alex, I hope you’re doing well. I’m heading out of town from Friday morning (July 4) until Sunday evening (July 6) and would greatly appreciate it if you could pet-sit Luna. She needs feeding at 8 AM and 6 PM daily, plus a 20-minute walk in the morning and again in the evening. You’ll find her leash and food in the hallway closet; I’ve left a spare key under the doormat. As thanks, I’d like to offer you $50 or help with any errand you need in the coming weeks. Please let me know if you’re available. Thanks so much! Warmly, [Your Name]

Dear Alex, I’m going away this weekend (July 4–6) and need someone to look after Luna, my dog. She eats twice a day (8 AM and 6 PM) and needs a 20-minute walk in the morning and evening. The key is under the doormat, and her food and leash are in the hallway closet. I can pay you $50 for the weekend or return the favor whenever you need. Please let me know if you can help. Thanks! Cheers, [Your Name]
