Description
I am a 68 year old retired dentist and soon to be grandmother! I live with my two female Cavalier King Charles dogs who came to me through a German animal shelter 6 months ago having been rescued from a puppy mill in the Czech Republic. We are lucky enough to live in a beautiful big house from 1900 with a big garden that I spend a lot of time in and we enjoy very much. The house is only 10 minutes away from the beach ( Hardelot) and 10 minutes away from the very beautiful and old harbour town Boulogne sur mer. I am learning French, but still a beginner 😁. I am also an artist and am turning my garage into an atelier.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The area is great for all things involving sports or beaches, oceans like kite surfing, sailing golfing , horseback riding, bicycling, hiking and walking. There are castles and cathedrals and many museums. Many events like markets, flea markets, antique markets. One huge advantage here is the French lifestyle without being quite as expensive or as hot as southern France.

Help
I’m looking for someone or a couple to come and stay in my house to look after my dogs and mind the place when I go to visit my children who live in London.
My dogs are fine with being alone for 4 or 5 hours or taking walks in a nearby hiking forest but are not very comfortable with going for walks in busy places. They are traumatised and still very inexperienced with humans, having been in a cage for the 6 years they lived before being rescued.
That is also why I will not be leaving for more than 3 to 5 days or maximally a week after seeing that they are ok with it. That’s also why I won’t be taking them to London even though theoretically I could - I just think that for the moment they feel safe here and I don’t want to confuse them.
