About this assignment
Catperson, not afraid of large terrain outside, trustworthy, reliable, in possession of own transport. We live in the countryside, very rural, but near 2 villages. One of our cats is very territorial, so it is not a good idea to bring your own pets.
What responsibilities are required of the house sitter
Feed and pet the cats and maintain the house. You will have your own guest apartment on the premises. Keep everything tidy and clean and no wild parties.
What are the good features of the property and location
In the South of France, Mediterranean side, near the Spanish border, we live on a mas (small farm, but we have no farming activities). So a nice house in the middle of 2,7 hectare of land. There is a fully equiped guest apartment in the house for you available.
What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment
You'll need your own transport. It is possible to ride a bike to the nearest village with facilities like shops, etc. but it is easier if you have a car. It is not possible to borrow a car from us.
Can I bring my own pets?
No, sorry.

Mas Linda
Rond Kerst 2023 hebben wij op onze reis naar Spanje op de 3 lieve poezen Isabelle, Nonja en Dropje en de kater Lion van Linda en Patrick gepast in een fantastisch landhuis bij Elne, in de buurt van Perpignan. De toegangsweg met een tunnel is zeer bijzonder. Maar na zo'n 100 meter openbaart zich het mooie landhuis. De ontvangst was allerhartelijkst en er was sprake van een goede wederzijdse verstandhouding en interesses. Wij hadden ons eigen ruime appartement aan de achterzijde van het huis met een groot terras. De locatie is perfect voor als je de route du Soleil rijdt. Daarbij komt dat Elne alles biedt qua boodschappen. Vanuit Elne kun je heel goed Perpignan bezoeken. Ook sta je na 4 km rijden aan de Middellandse zee. Dus zon, zee, strand en terrasjes zijn makkelijk bereikbaar en bij terugkomst ben je weer in een bosachtige omgeving. Wat wil je nog meer? Tijdens het oppassen hebben we regelmatig kontakt gehouden via Whattsapp. Bedankt, Linda en Patrick, we hopen in de toekomst terug te komen.

Housesitting 3 October - 12 October 2023
I had the chance to housesit for Linda and Patrick and to look after their 5 cats in the wonderful area of Roussillon in South-France. Linda and Patrick are very nice and warmhearted people and I felt comfortable immediately. They picked me up at the trainstation of Elne. I got the necessary informations by mail already before, now they explained me things at the place. We had contact by whatsapp during their travel as well, so I could clarify everything immediately. I got to know the cats in the next days and I enjoyed their company so much. Each one has its own personality. Some accepted me as their temporary friend and enjoyed my cuddles. One was mainly happy about the food, I offered and Dropje was not ready for any kind of friendship with me, she accepted the food, but was waiting for the return of her REAL friend Linda! :-)) The house ist big and I had my own holiday-appartement at the backside. The surrounding was peaceful and calm, the songs of the birds were lovely, the climat very enjoyable. It is necessary to have a car or like in my case a bike, as the house ist in the countryside. The road to Elne or Ortaffa ist well tarred and very suitable for bikes. I felt free to make little excursions during daytime. Back from my discoverings, I enjoyed the evenings on the bench in front of the house with a cup of coffee and Isabella, sitting beside me or Nonja, lying on my labs. Dear Linda and Patrick, I thank you so much for these amazing 10 days, I could spend in your house and for the company of your kind cats. Thank you for the wonderful dinner, Patrick prepared the first evening and the invitation to a nice restaurant the last evening of my stay due to my birthday. If there is any opportunity to come again, I will take it with pleasure. Barbara from Switzerland
