Escape to a peaceful Limousin village amidst 2 small dogs & 2 cats

Introduction

My wife Veronique & I moved to rural France after many years in Australia. We live in a quiet village in the Limousin with our family of 2 small dogs and 2 cats. We are looking for a house sitter so we can travel in France & Europe.

Home & location

Our home is an old stone cottage in a small village in the Creuse region of France, renovated to a comfortable standard. A large & diverse back garden backs onto farmland & forests with many tracks for long dog walks. There is a smaller fenced in area & patio at the back of the house for the dogs to run around in. The cats get to roam the village, farmland & local barns, as far as they dare to go. The nearest village with shop is 5 minutes drive, another larger village with a supermarket is 15 minutes & the nearest town with cafes & restaurants is 25 minutes drive. It is a very peaceful area, with no more than a dozen cars passing through the village per day. Downstairs is an open plan living room/kitchen with wood burning stove, plus a studio where I work from home most of the time (wifi is good & reliable). Upstairs there are 2 double bedrooms available plus bathroom with shower. It is a quiet place for someone who enjoys a slower pace of life surrounded by trees, birds & other small local animals. Its somewhere to relax with a good book after a long dog walk through the countryside. There is also space to work from home whilst here, if required.

Responsibilities

2 feeding times per day, morning & evening is pre-made rice, vegies & insect biscuits for the dogs plus tinned food for the cats. A number of natural herbal powders are also added to keep them healthy. The dogs also like a daily walk, weather permitting

We really want to thank Steven and Véronique for the moment of calm and gentleness in their house and with their animals. They are very endearing animals, who welcomed us with as much kindness as their masters. The house and the garden are true places of paradise, rest and tranquility. Thank you for the moments spent together with Steven and Véronique, people with open hearts that we had the chance to meet.
