Looking for dog and house sitters in rural SW France.
Introduction
I live in an old farmhouse in St Martin du Puy about 60kms from Bordeaux. I am a widow since May this year and would like to visit my children in Germany. I need a sitter to care for my house and two dogs.
Show more...Home & location
An old farmhouse with large surrounding garden and swimming pool. Bedroom with bathroom on the first floor for sitters. Small bastide towns within 10kms, Bordeaux about 70kms. Great walking country, tennis court in the village riding stable 5kms. You will need your car. My neighbours are friendly and willing to help if needed, also I have a good friend living quite close who would be able to answer any queries. There are bedrooms upstairs and downstairs with bathrooms so sitters can choose which they prefer.

Lizzie is easy, likes good walks and her food, very sweet and friendly. Lara is a hunting dog who needs controlling. She needs plenty of exercise, she has a lovely caracter. I walk the dogs in the vineyards surrounding the house in the morning and then feed them after a pause. Late afternoon another walk then food after a pause. No medication for dogs, and if you can water plants on the terracce that would be great.

We cannot thank Marjorie enough for 6 beautiful days in her home with her gorgeous girls, Lizzie and Lara. Marjorie is a beautiful lady with a heart of gold and we had the pleasure of sharing a lovely lunch with her upon our arrival and again, before our departure. Marjorie did everything possible to make us feel at home. The house is wonderful, it’s in a brilliant location for exploring local towns and villages and is surrounded by natural beauty. Lizzie and Lara are adorable. We grew to be great friends with the pair and they are so easy to fall in love with. They are very well behaved and we loved our daily walks around the vines. It’s safe to say we’d go back in a heartbeat. We are so lucky to have had this trip and met such a wonderful lady and her companions and we found it hard to leave! Thank you, Marjorie, Lizzie and Lara x

Es war unser erster Sit. Majorie hat uns sehr herzlich aufgenommen und uns nach unserer langen Anreise mit einem Essen empfangen. Sie hatte alles gut organisiert und alles Wichtige gut erklärt. Die zwei Hunde Lara und Lizzie sind tolle Charakter. Wir haben sie sofort ins Herz geschlossen. Lizzie ist eine ganz Liebe und kann einen mit ihrem Blick um den Finger wickeln. Lara war ein beliebtes Fotomodel und hat uns oft zum Lachen gebracht. Es war schön die zwei mit Streicheleinheiten zu verwöhnen und mit ihnen ausgiebige Spaziergänge in den Weinbergen zu unternehmen. Es war eine schöne Erfahrung bei unserem ersten Sit. Danke für die Gute Zeit mit euch!

It was our first house sitting and it could not have been better! Marjorie is an exceptional host, very welcoming and always ready to help with everything. Taking care of the two dogs, Lara and Lizzie, was an absolute joy as they made fantastic companions, providing endless fun and even surprising compatibility with our 2-year-old son. We all fell in love with them and we’ll miss those two cuddlebugs. Marjorie’s charming home exudes history and tranquility, as it is in the middle of the vineyards. We also enjoyed the garden with the pool because it was still really hot at the beginning of October. This sit was a pleasure! Thank you, Marjorie, Laro and Lizzie. See you soon:)
