Beautiful location in the South of France with two awesome dogs
Introduction
We recently relocated from the US, and now live in a modern house in a small village in the Provence-Alps-Cote d'Azur region of France. Our home is in a very quiet area, but close enough for walks within the village or to get to public transportation. The house is a great landing place if you are looking to explore Southern France, or can provide a nice place for rest and relaxation if you want to stay in the area. We have a pool that will be open in the warmer months, and are within a couple hours drive of many beautiful places in the region. We love our time at home but also love to travel and spend time with our family who live in other parts of the world. We want to make sure our great dogs have someone to stay with them when we have to be gone. We have two dogs, Deacon (12) and May (7) who are both collie mixes. They both love people, playing, and generally getting attention. Most of our trip dates are approximate as we work out flights/travel plans etc- if you have any questions please let us know! ** please note the past reviews were from our home in Michigan, so details about location will no longer be accurate**

Our house has two large fenced yards with beautiful views of the mountains, and a pool to enjoy during the warmer months. We are within walking distance to our small town's center where you can access essential shops and public transportation. Our house and the local area are a great place to relax and unwind, while still being close to many attractions within the south of France. The house itself has a great open living area on the main floor, with beautiful outdoor space for relaxing or dining. We have a dedicated guest area off the living room with private bedroom (queen size bed) and bathroom to accommodate our sitters. We are just 15 minutes outside of Manosque, which is home to a beautiful central village, along with great shopping, parks, wineries and more. Our home is also only an hour or two away from many other beautiful beaches, hikes, and cities within France. Beautiful Provençal villages less than an hour away include Sisteron, Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon, and Aix-en-Provence. Within two hours you can get to many beaches and popular cities along the Mediterranean, including Cannes, Nice, Saint Tropez and Toulon just to name a few!
Show more...Responsibilities
We are looking for someone stay at our house when we are away to feed, walk, and let out our dogs. The dogs each eat twice a day, enjoy at least a quick walk, and love the company of people and want to be near someone at night. While a short walk will suit them just fine, they both love long walks and hikes if you are looking to explore the area and want to take them along. They are good by themselves in the house and can be left alone during the day if needed, up to about seven or eight hours. We have a large fenced yard they can play and run around in, and there are nice trails nearby to walk them on.

What more can I say, meeting Kersti and Matt was a real pleasure. I appreciate the fact that they let me care for their precious dogs Deacon and May. We hit it off right from the start and had lots of fun all weekend! They are full of energy and enjoy their long walks and playtime out back. It won't be long and you will be their friend but just beware that they may want to sleep with you! They are fun loving and ready to be by your side. The home is in a nice quiet neighborhood with the park just down the road and the river out back. I hope to help out again not only because of Deacon and May but because Kersti and Matt are fun to be around. Till we meet again! Yes, I will bring my work clothes! Blessings!

Think of living in a comfortable home on a beautiful river with two loving, fun, awesome dogs. Then imagine the quiet country setting within walking distance of the small downtown of Dewitt MI and a peaceful park where you can walk and walk with Deacon and May. These two dogs will capture your heart! I so enjoyed my week with them both. I left knowing I had made two new friends. Kersti and Matthew were eager to make my stay an enjoyable one. I appreciated them welcoming me and giving me all the info I needed to have a very good experience.

Kersti
Allen house and dog sat for us for just over a month while we were away visiting family. He is very organized and had excellent communication both prior to and during our trip. He was thoughtful and asked what kind of communication we liked while away, and then stuck to that, sending us photos and regular updates. Our dogs were absolutely spoiled with attention and twice a day walks so they truly got to have a vacation while we did too. Our house was incredibly clean when we got home and to top it all off Allen had some great recommendations for us for things to see and places to eat (we’re still newer to the area so greatly benefit from his exploration!). We hope Allen and Leslie will be able to sit for us again in the future and would absolutely recommend them to others.
