Hautes Pyrénées France

About this assignment

Having broken my ankle I will be spending 6 weeks in a convalescent home. I need someone to stay in my house to mind the dog

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

Come as soon as possible please. I need someone to be with the dog, walk him twice a day, do light gardening if wished, and general house care.

What are the good features of the property and location

I live in a wonderfully friendly village, with a bar. The village is in the middle of beautiful countryside. The Pyrenees are easily accessible for day trips. There are accessible, interesting historical villages and towns. Three local markets within 15-17km.
There is a lake 15km away where you can swim. My nearest town with trainstation, bus etc, is 20km, the nearest supermarket 6km. Older automatic, excellent condition BMW available for use.

What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment

I’m not sure, what you’d need to ask me. My house has all mod cons, but is not posh! There is no central heating. The house is clean and reasonably tidy, but not pristine. The dog is never allowed upstairs. There are three double bedrooms, lounge, study, kitchen diner, a pleasant garden, with sun and shade, good WiFi, computer, telephone, with free calls to the U.K.. I can supply references.

Can I bring my own pets?

Yes
Restrictions: Not cats as my dog would want to chase them
