House and Dog sitters
Introduction
I am an Interior designer with a home in Australia and a home in the South West of France: I need house sitters when I travel to NYC or Sydney to see family I have a beautiful 18th Manor House and some gites in the country side of the Gers. With a view of the Pyrenees mountains. Plenty of walking, hiking, visiting markets, antiqueing. the charming town of Eauzeis 6 ks away and there is the use of a car provided. Ideally I presently need a couple for two weeks over Christmas. However there is room enough in the pretty converted pigeonierre or farmhouse for a longer stay if needed.

If you have children over 8 years old, this house is OK. It is not suitable for toddlers.The house is full of antiques and art so a caring couple in their fifties and up would be best. The pets consist of one small Italian greyhound and one sweet and friendly cat.and recently a Whippet rescue. All very loving.

Lovely the Iggy and Whitty the cat. Both are characters. Better to keep Whitty in after her 5pm feed. Lovely won’t want to go out very often. She has a jumper and a coat. Either can be worn if it is cold for a little walk. Best kept on a lead. Always let her out on and off during the day. First thing in the morning and last thing at night. She is going deaf and a little myopic , so gets confused in the dark. Est to stand outside with her for the last wee. She can get upstairs but not down. She likes to be under her blanket at the end of the bed. Hates to be alone, but loathes going in the car. So shut her in the TV room and kitchen when you go out. She has her blanket and her bed can be moved upstairs in your room.

It was a delight to meet Miv who was warm, thoughtful, and very welcoming. She went out of her way to make sure that our time spent in her lovely home would be comfortable. The house reflected her impeccable taste and creative style. Her introductions to friends and locals along with a tour of the surrounding area was invaluable. Our time spent with her sweet and gentle dogs, Angel and Lovely filled our days with smiles and were a pleasure to look after. Making it difficult to say goodbye. Thankfully, we took numerous photos of these two pups as we both became quite attached to them. This is a house sit we would enjoy repeating. Sent | Mar 16, 2018

John and Susan are the stars among house sitters. I left for Australia for 10 weeks and came back to two happy healthy dogs, a perfect house, a car that purred like a Cheshire cat a wonderful hot meal (Much appreciated after travelling 48 hours through snow and ice.) and a really warm welcome. I can neither thank or recommend them enough. They truly were a Godsend.
