House Sitting in Perchede, South West France

For the next two weeks I am looking after four dogs (three of them staffordshire terriers), two horses and a small rural block in Perchede, South West France. The nearest village is Nogaro (which has a fantastic bakery producing the absolutely classic baguette). Other bigger towns nearby are Mont De Marsan or Pau.

House sitting is a great co-operative venture. I get to have some time in a place that I wouldn't normally experience, and get some time with animals again (much missed). The house owners get to go on their holiday knowing that their animals and property will be well looked after. Very few costs involved for either party and

some great friendships made as well.

I used to get friends to house sit when I had the dogs in New Zealand, and used to house sit myself in New Zealand before owning properties. I thoroughly recommend it. Housesitting over here has been arranged through the website http://www.housecarers.com/
where I am registered as available for housesitting.

I'll write more soon, but in the meantime, it's exploring, walking dogs, and eating far too much!
