About this assignment
Hi,
We are looking for dog lovers to look after our 4 rescues while we take a break, ideally three weeks to include 29 April to 16 May 2024 a little time either way takes the pressure off.
We have Sat TV, broadband and Wifi with good speed and bandwidth for Netflix etc.
What responsibilities are required of the house sitter
Our pack are Husky and Husky cross all middle age now, they vary in age from 4 to 12 years. Exercise is in the garden and they look after themselves. They are friendly and a bit noisy at first meeting(they want to be your friend). A large garden for them to roam. All we would ask if for you to give them cuddles and they love to be talked to..
What are the good features of the property and location
Our house is traditional French style having large three room living area. Fitted kitchen , a large utility room and a downstairs toilet, we have three large double bedrooms with 2 bathrooms , we are located on the edge of a small village with a shop, tabac (bar/coffee) and post office. As there is a decided lack of public transport, a car will be available for use if needed. We have internet, WIFI and Sat television. outdoor jacuzzi if the weather is warm enough
We are located in Central France about 30 minutes from Limoges airport which has regular flights from various parts of the UK and is easily reached by rail from Paris . We are 20 minutes from the A20 Autoroute. Good walking country.
If the weather is not too cold we have a covered pool (8m x 4m) and a Jacuzzi
What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment
We live in an interesting historic area with a rich history from Richard the Lionheart to the last war. Local wines are excellent. You will need a current driving licence if you wish to use the car. We are a non smoking household. The area suits all types of people from superfit to not so fit
We are flexible with travel arrangements and can accommodate earlier arrival /later departure if needed. We can pick you up from the airport or train station.
Can I bring my own pets?
No, sorry.

Like coming home
I have looked after Jim and Beryl's pack of lovely dogs twice over the last two years. Both times little over three weeks. It is definitely among my favourite "zoos" to look after. I was greeted as a friend and given a lovely room. The dogs are a cuddly and friendly bunch. They have a large garden to run around so there is no need to worry about walking them on a lead. House is comfortable and quiet. It has a nice jacuzzi and a pool in the garden. Decent internet, tv and books. The village is quiet but has a few expat families living in who organize occasional pub events. Limoges is a short drive away. I can absolutely recommend you to go and look after Sky, Hagrid, Shina, Bella, Angel and Munchkin if you love big, fluffy, cuddly dogs and quiet relaxing life in the countryside. I would love to be there again but my path has taken me to the far East currently so this year I will not be able to re-visit my British-canin-family in France.
