Pet Sitting in Les Vans

Carole and Sylvain were brilliant Housesitters! They clearly loved all of our animals and they were so well cared for. This is what we wish to have with all of our Housesitters and Carole and Sylvain certainly delivered it in style. We very much enjoyed catching up with them when we returned home. Lunch and a delicious dinner were laid on for us which was really lovely. The morning before they left we went out together for a snorkel at the beach and had a good catch up with everything. We would welcome Carole and Sylvain back to our house at any time and hope that they will want to come and visit us again.

Gyl was a great cat and house sitter in every respect. With many years living in France, she knew how to organize well her logistics to fit my odd travel schedule and I felt comfortable that she’d be able to handle anything unusual that came up. Chernish warmed to her immediately and she sent daily photos while I was gone showing how well cared for Chernish was. She had no problem giving pills and mastered well the tricky feeder. In addition, Gyl was very good with my plants (better than I?) and the house was perfectly clean, linens/towels/dishes washed, etc when I arrived home. And there was even a wonderful quiche in the fridge for me! Gyl’s a very responsible and interesting person you would be lucky to have as a pet/house sitter!

Christina and Luc are a lovely couple, trustworthy and obvious animal lovers. Our dog, cat and pony were well looked after and we would welcome them back if our dates coincide in the future. Thank you so much Christina and Luc!

I would definately recommend Lizzie, she was great with Luna, he was very spoilt! I had updates and pictures everyday, the flat was clean and tidy on my return. Thank you Lizzie for flowers as well, very kind of you.

What a joy to have Rosie and Carlo looking after my cuddle monsters and my home! They arrived bearing gifts from their region and settled in like family. They were caring and careful in everything they did. Though the weather was ghastly they still made sure that Lédon had a good walk and didn't slob around in his bed on on the sofa all day. Violette made herself scarce as she didn't want her medication, but was friendly when necessary. Rosie and Carlo took me to the station, collected me and on returning home they had a delicious meal on the go. I can't praise them enough but just say I was tempted to leave with them. I hope to see them again. Thank you so much. XX

Fabian and Paul could not have been better! The house, and garden were perfect and the dog was well and happy. We kept in touch all the time which was great for me. A huge thank you for an assured piece of mind while I was away. xxx

Jean is a very reliable, friendly sitter. We were able to go visit our family in the states for four weeks plus a week trip with friends here in Sicily. He speaks Italian, English and French so we knew he would be able to get around and that if a cat escaped Jean could find help. He also tightened the handles on my pots and pans as well as fixing a couple other things just because he could 🙂. When we returned the cats went right back to our routine. The only thing that could have been better is the litter box needed fresh litter in it... but other then that we would have Jean again. I love that he is just a good person. He is the kind of sitter who you wish you had a little extra time and room so you can hang out with them. We wish Jean all the best on his adventures.

Nicolas sat for us during a 3 week trip we made in Nov/Dec 2022. Communication with Nicolas wasn't easy. We were so concerned that he wasn't going to arrive that we made other last minute plans just in case. He did though contact late in the evening before we were due to leave to confirm his arrival. Our advert specifies that we are rural and a car is essential, Nicolas arrive by train and needed to be collected from the station. Having no car isn't ideal but our initial difficulties and concerns were eased as he is a pleasant , likeable chap and seemed in control of the situation. There was very little communication when we were away. Our flight home was delayed. We had previously agreed that we would return home at around 15hr and that we could drive him to the station to catch his train. We messaged that morning and kept messaging with updates. Once we knew our flight was leaving we told him when we would arrive home; but about 6 hours late. We knew his train would leave 2 hours before we arrived home so we said that if he needed to get the last train he should. When we arrived home the house was spotless, albeit very very cold as Nicolas doesn't like heat. Winnie seemed fine but a little anxious and she had pooped in the house which suggests that she had been locked in for a long time as this is totally not like her. Nicolas has still to read our message about our delayed flight so we have no idea when he left our house. To be fair, our cat was totally fine and happy. And our home was immaculate when we returned. We have no complaints about this BUT communication with your sitter is essential and we feel that Nicolas needs to work on these skills, if for no other reason than to ease the concerns of the pet owners. However, thank you Nicolas for taking good care of our cat and our home and we wish you happy travels in the future

Steve was a wonderful sitter for Lucy, she took to him from the start & I think that was to do with his calm manner. He is the most obliging, polite & kind man, unassuming & very clean. It is such a nice feeling to come home to find a happy dog & relaxed sitter. It is obvious that Lucy was well looked after, she was a happy dog & that is all we wanted…. Thank you Steve, it was a pleasure to have you sit for us.

Amanda looked after the house and the cats perfectly! It was a real pleasure to meet her at the beginning of her stay and to know that we were leaving our home and our pets in very capable hands. Thank you, Amanda. We hope to see you again one day 😀
