Testimonials
19 Jan to 8 Feb 2020
It was a real pleasure to sit for Amanda and Robin. We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived, with a lovely home cooked dinner. They are very interesting people. They have a lovely house in a peaceful location. Shopping was a short 5 minutes’ drive. We enjoyed their Gordon Setter, Popi around the small village and agriculture pastures, catching sight of the odd dear or hare. The cats are real characters. We are glad we could help Alice back to good health during our stay. We are going to miss her the most. Thank you, Amanda and Robin, we hope to see you again.

Lovely Couple
I looked after Amanda and Robin's house and pets for about three weeks. They briefed me really well, including providing me with an Aide Memoire before they set off on their holiday. Even so, I did have one or two questions for them while they were away but they always answered them promptly and in a friendly manner. When the time came to leave I felt I had made two lovely friends and would not hesitate in recommending them as home owners.

A Delightful Sit
We have sat for Amanda & Robin twice (once for 3 months and once for 6 weeks and their home is comfortable and spacious a typical French rural property. The dog Popi is delightful laid back and easy to care for and the walks are circular and mostly flat.. The four cats are independent and come and go as they please, each has their own personality are fun to be with. The property benefits from a log burning fire and Robin makes sure to leave a huge supply of logs. The car is quite old but a very good runner and will get you into Chef Boutonne in 10 minutes. Many places of interest nearby.
