Meela, Tao and Lulu would love to meet you! (And so would we!!)

Introduction

We are a small family from Australia and have recently bought a house Cordes-sur-ciel, where we live with our dogs and cat (most of who are also Australian!) And our five happy chickens. We are looking forward to meeting you!

Home & location

Our house is in a beautiful medieval village, we are walking distance to the shops, cafes and restaurants, we have parking available and a large garden. There is a train station about 5min drive away to go to Toulouse. We have a pantry full of organic food for you, a cellar with delicious wine, a fabulous view, great location, but the most wonderful thing about our house is the animals.... we are sure you will love them as much as we do! Our house is a beautiful stone building set on the edge of the village with views for miles on a quiet local street. It's perfect to explore the village and only 25 min to the city center of Gaillac or Albi.

Responsibilities

*****Please note - for this sit (11-19July 2024), the dogs will at a kennel. Only cat chickens and fish will be at home!**** General - feeding animals twice per day, letting -chickens in and out, walking dogs once or twice per day. Lots of love and cuddles for the animals! About the animals: Meela is a lovely old girl, happy to sleep most of the day. Tao is an energetic affectionate giant pup, just over two years old, he can be anxious sometimes with new people but is good when he knows you :) Lulu is an indoor outdoor cat, she's a total sweetie pie who likes to come for walks around the village and loves to sit on your lap by the fire. The chickens are friendly and free-range, they wander about the garden during the day and will return to their coop at night, they just need to have the door to their coop opened each morning and closed each night. Fresh eggs are all yours for breakfast! The fish tank is a small tropical tank in my son's room. Fish only need a little feed and that's it.... no tank cleaning or maintenance required :) Our houseplants are also part of the family, if possible, they love to be watered twice per week, but not essential for short stays.

I absolutely loved my time at Alice’s! The dogs were in the Kennel so I only looked after Lulu, the fish, and the chickens. Lulu likes to spend most of her day outside, she is a chill cat who loves face caresses. The chickens were easy to take care of as well, I just opened the door to their coop in the morning and closed it at night, feeding them twice a day. The house is beautiful and so is the town. You can spend all day going around the winding streets and every corner looks like a scene out of a story book. If you’re looking for a unique experience in a more rural side of France, I would highly recommend this sit. There is a bus that you can take to visit nearby cities if you’re interested. I would gladly come back to do another sit in the future. Thanks again Alice for having me!!

Alice and Ben are one of the gracious people that you will meet. They were thoughtful and kind in all respects. There home is beautiful and the location is something one would read about in a fairy tale. The pets were well behaved . This sit was unforgettable.

Ben , Alice and Jarrah are friendly, welcoming and caring. Their dogs Meela and Tao are lovely. I enjoyed walking with them in the beautiful Cordes-sur-Ciel, a small medieval town an hour north of Toulouse. Lulu the cat is beautiful and self-sufficient. This was my first experience pet sitting with Trusted Petsitters and I couldn't have had a better first experience. I highly recommend this pet sit.

We had the pleasure of looking after Alice, Ben & Jarrah's lovely home and pets for a week and what a great experience it was. They are a lovely family and their good energy has obviously rubbed off on their pets - you couldn't find a sweeter, more chilled-out cat and dog than Meela & Lulu. Even the chickens are cool and followed us around for treats! Their house is located in the heart of a beautiful medieval village on a hill with spectacular views which made our stay even more special. Can definitely recommend house & pet sitting for Alice & family!
