Hello
I am a 46 year old massage therapist and my 47 year old friend repairs computers, we have a 13 year old son, and I also have a 20 year old step son. We are non smokers.
We are looking for a house sitter who could take care for two weeks maximum of two very nice orpington hens and a mixed breed cat named Isidore. That means feeding, eggs gathering, petting. This cat tends to glue himself to the remaining inhabitants of the house when people go away and may ask for hugs daily; he also is a terrific hunter and usually brings us mouses daily too, so you may need to clean or kick the mouses out eventually. The garden and inside plants won't probably need attention at that time of the year but feel free to pick any vegetable you want!
The house has 4 bedroom (including a massage room) and 3 bathrooms with a nice patio with barbecue, and an indoor chimney in the cold weather. The house was entirely redone last year so no maintenance normally. It is located near the city center (15 mn walking, bus station 5 mn, supermarket and other shops nearby), next to the hospital. The area is calm except for helicopters (hospital), mostly in the summer.
The weather is usually neather warm nor cold, and days without sun are rare. The town itself is not very animated at night but you will find all commodities nearby. The sea is at 30 mn by car (or you can take a train); the area is known as a holiday place for families with family oriented activities. The nearest big city is Nantes. The local products are rather good and fresh and comprise seafood, poultry, cheese, wine, cabbage and white beans. Not much old stones around, but some castles and older cities can be found. People are nice and practical minded...
