Hautes Pyrénées France

About this assignment

I’ve broken my ankle and am wondering if there is anybody, or a couple who would be willing to come and stay and help me. I am a naturally independent person, who normally enjoys living alone, but find myself challenged by this situation.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

Giving me general help, an hour to an hour and a half a day, preferably in two parts, walking a dog twice a day, gardening if the house sitter wishes.
I’m surrounded by good friends, who will shop for me, and give me general help.

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
