Our dog is an old lady (15 years old) that can't be let alone more than a day.
The house:
The house was built in It has a big and nice garden and a little kitchen garden that housesitters can use if they want to (even if I think there will be only tomatoes in august). the kitchen is fully equiped and we have satellite tv and wireless internet connexion.
We can provide you 2 bedrooms out of 4/5 (if more needed ask). The bathroom comes with a bathtube and a shower. The is no swimming pool.
The village:
My parents live in a beautiful and peaceful village near Toulouse (just minutes from city center). You can find a restaurant with one star Michelin guide just in the end of the street. Shops and other restaurants can be found within 1 km. There's a also a supermarket in the village.
There's a lake (don't even think about fishing no one never catches anything but you can try) down the road and forests where you can walk if you like to. we need our housesitters to love animals as we own a dog named tokyo and two cats. we need housesitters because of the dog that we can't bevause of her age. It's a nice dog though. The cats are independant and sleep all day long (inside or outside it depends on the cat) but they like to be stroked (when they decide it).
We imagine housesitting more like an exchange. We offer an accomodation; in return we just ask for pet caring. That's why we are not considering paying for it.
We'll leave on 13th. that's why we put "starting august 12" but you can stay a few days before or after.
One last thing, we ask our housesitters to be nonsmokers.
