Needs and animals

Pet-sitting | 1 Cat

We have a lovely cat called Farinelli (aka Mowmow). He's 3 years old.
He will need to be let out in the mornings and let back in late afternoon / early evening if you go out. Otherwise he'll enjoy your company and will be really happy to spend time with your along with going to play outside if you're having a day at home. Of course, cuddles will be required!
We also have a few plants that will need watering. If you're good with a lawn mower, then keeping the grass under control would be great too! It takes less than ten minutes to do the whole garden.

Additional information about these dates

Our dates are not yet firm. At the moment, we'd look at leaving on 25th July and coming back on 23rd August. We usually like our house sitters to arrive a day or two before we leave so it gives us time to go through things without rushing and having a nice meal or two together.

Marie and Matt are kind and hospitable. We really enjoyed our stay in their house and Farinelli was a joy to look after.

Matt et Marie sont adorables et très accueillants. La maison est confortable, la chambre d'accueil est très agréable, le petit jardin avec pelouse à l'arrière est parfait pour prendre un thé.....quand il fait beau ! Pour les jours de pluie, heureusement il y a une véranda bien adaptée. Le chat est des plus affectueux que j'ai rencontré ! J'ai passé un bon séjour chez Matt et Marie et je recommande cette "bonne" maison !
