Help/Pet Sitter needed for Summer 2026

About this assignment

My partner and I are dog rescuers and we often travel in Asia for this purpose. Also, our family is in south of France and we plan to visit as much as possible. So we want to leave home with peace of mind, knowing our babies are well taken care of.

On the other hand, I am running a B&B/Guest House, and as summer is getting busy (high season) I would need help at home. My Partner Fab has to leave for work for the whole summer, so I will be alone to handle everything and I am looking for a pet sitter/helper as we have a large family of 17 furry kids (10 dogs and 7 cats), at least someone comfortable with many dogs and cats around, able to give medication if needed, and able to handle aging/special needs dogs

July and August, dates/period are flexible.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

I will mostly be absent in early mornings to prepare and serve breakfast to my guests, so sitter would need to need to feed the furry kids and look after them for a couple of hours in the morning.
Then during the day, depending on my schedule, just be home with the gang (as they are not used to be alone) and walk them in the surrounding countryside from time to time. Only when I am busy/away, otherwise, the sitter would have a lot of free time.
Wz can of course discuss details and arrangement, depending on needs and availabilities.

What are the good features of the property and location

House sitter will have his private large bedroom and access to bathroom. Bedroom is equipped with TV. House is 130sqm with fully fitted kitchen and large living area surrounded with fully fenced and secured garden. Wifi and cable TV. House is located in Country side Upper Normandy, 30km from Rouen City.
A car is necessary here as there is no public transport, however, on sits when I am present, I can drive you around for groceries if needed.

Nearby there are local villages with Fresh farmers markets, supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants, hair dressers... etc. There are also some lovely things to visit around such as the Battlefield Castle, The Cathedral of Rouen, le Château D'Harcourt and its Arboretum, Le Bec Hellouin Village, Historical Jeanne d'Arc... and much more. Coast (Honfleur beach) is 45mn drive.

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

A car is necessary as the closest villages and commodities are about 5 to 10km away. Bicycles are available. At cycling distance there is a bakery and local producers shop.
My father lives next door (not full time) so any advice/help or recommendation can be provided. Our pets are easy going and get along very well together. One of our dog, Daisy, is blind, and all she needs is extra attention, and we have one disabled cat but he doesn't require any specific treatment as he is able to eat, move and go toilet on his own, he would just need particular attention and lots of cuddles.

(We've had many sitters coming over the years, and all can testify that our pets are well behaved and easy to look after, and the house is clean and well maintained. Some reviews in pictures attached.We received several reviews from other platforms that we would be happy to share is requested.)

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
