Sara and Jeff were so welcoming, and we felt at home straight away. The geese have a very easy routine and are always very compliant when being locked up at night. The sheep required little maintenance and were great company. We loved spending time out in their beautiful garden, with all the wonderful wildlife. On their return they were very gracious with the transition, and we left their place knowing that we have two new friends. Thank you so much again Sara and Jeff.

We absolutely loved our stay at “Nauchon” in the Landes area of France. It is so peaceful and surrounded by nature. Sara and Jeff were very friendly and welcoming. Sara chose us for the sit even though we had no experience of looking after sheep, ducks, chickens or geese but after being shown what to do we found everything was really easy. We would love to come back sometime in future and firmly recommend this sit.

Sara and Jeff made us very welcome in their lovely home in the south west of France. Even though the list of animals was a bit daunting for relative newbies, we had an excellent handover and clear instructions. The animals were easy to look after and we had plenty of time to explore the lovely countryside in the surrounding area. Sara and Jeff were very hospitable and we had a great day with them prior to their departure.
