A wonderful time with two dogs, a cat and the chickens
Julie and Andy are a very hospitable couple. They invited us to two delicious dinners. Both entrusted us with their rustic styled farmhouse to take care for the animals. With the very good and detailed instructions caring for the property was easy. Julie and Andy gave us a wine tasting so we knew what are the lokal specialties and as a gift we got some of their best bottles. Thank you! We had lots of fun accompany India and Daisy on their daily excursions. Both were very good girls and loved their cuddles like Puddy the cat. The surrounding is wonderful picturesque and we were able to visit the Pyrenees mountains. On the hot days we took advantage of the lovely pool. A special benefit were the fresh eggs from the hens and the veggies form the garden. So we can only recommend to sit for Julie and Andy! ;-)

Hautes-Pyrénées with India, Daisy and Puddy
Julie and Andy made us welcome to their beautiful home with a fabulous meal on our arrival and breakfast on our first morning. They gave very clear instructions on how to feed and tend the two dogs, cat and hens and our other duties. Julie had told us in advance that the dogs fetched Puddy in at night and sure enough when told to they went looking for the cat and brought her in. The hens provided us with fresh eggs and what with tomatoes and water melons we ate healthy. The swimming pool was a fantastic way to cool down during the day and in the evening. Andy showed me how to maintain it which was quickly performed in the morning before breakfast. We got out and about daily going to visit an ancient castle and for drives or walks in the local countryside. Overall a relaxing 10 day break was enjoyed.

A great House sit
Andy and Julie are a most hospitable couple who showed us the ropes in their 19th Century farm house as well as cooking for us! The two dogs India and Daisy are a delight and we had a lot of fun walking them. Puddy the cat is a real character, and the two hens - well they lay eggs......We were genuinely sad to leave, and hope to return at some point in the future.

Lovely in every way!
Jules and Andy were superb partners for our second pet and house sit through the MindMyHouse platform. From start to finish, they ensured that we were fully informed about every aspect of the experience and went out of their way to ensure that we felt welcomed, comfortable, and appreciated. They prepared a lovely vegetarian dinner for us upon arrival and kindly left us with delicious baked goods, wine, and other treats, and armed us with information about their pets, home, and the local area. Their kindness and generosity moved us. Caring for their animal family was the icing on the cake! Their sweet, adorable, and well-mannered pup India is a joyful companion, and we relished our time with her. She accompanied us on country walks and short and longer excursions by car to explore the stunningly gorgeous area. Their kitty, Puddy, is affectionate and mellow, and it was fun to watch her playful interaction with India. The hens were also fun and easy to mind. Jules and Andy’s home is beautiful and well-equipped, and we were more than comfortable during our stay. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with wonderful people and pets, we highly recommend this sit!

Quiet house with dogs, cats and chicken
Julie and Andy have a lovely home outside of a small market town. The house is beautiful and well organized. All the details for the animals were clear and easy to follow, and the dogs were an absolute joy. The small expat community were friendly and helpful. There were fires to keep the house warm and friendly neighbours. A lovely house sit.
