Often our clients and friends ask about our travels and our house and pet sitting experiences and we thought that a blog would be a good way to share our stories both past and present.

We have met and made friends with some lovely humans, canines and felines over the past 5 years and we hope that you enjoy reading about our pet sitting and house sitting experiences as much as we enjoy regaling our "tails"!

Carcassonne Chins


Back to Carcassonne for a new client. We were looking after three little characters who have all been rescued and each had a sorry story to tell.

Luckily for them, they have been rescued and now live in a lovely home together.

A new breed for us to look after is the Japanese Chin. Click here for Breed description .

They are sweet little dogs with great personalities, a bit shy with new people at first but, given their space soon your best friend.

Snow showers in Normandy


We managed to arrive in Normandy for our second visit, just before a cold snap descended upon Europe. The temperature dropped to below -11 degrees C. in Northern France. The pretty village of Vieux Port was made even more pretty under a foot of snow.

Enzo, the white Alsatian, absolutely loves the snow, enjoying rolling and digging. He was a bit scared to go out in it at first, but soon got the hang of it.

The snow was very powdery and made it very difficult to make snowmen, but we did persevere and managed to get a few decent specimens. The snow lasted for two weeks, we had to unfreeze our water pipes on a few occasions and dig out the car.

The countryside looked amazing with the sun out on sparkling white fields, and ice lacing the leaves on the trees.

We were able to go on some amazing walks being the first to put our footprints into the pristine snow.
