House and dogsitting at Christmas in Haute Garonne, France

Description

Need workaways for for house-sitting for a week at Christmas. Dates are 22/12/2019 - 28/12/2019. Drop us a line if you are interested. All we expect from you is to look after our dogs and keep them happy and loved.

Hi, we have had some experience with workaways before but not many. If you are over the age of 25 you will have use of our second car to get around in if you don't have your own. We live in Haute Garonne about 1hr 15mins away from Toulouse and about 45 minutes from the Spanish border.

We bought a house to renovate and moved here 10 years ago. We moved here with a 3 year plan to renovate and have the house finished but that hasn't happened quite yet. There is still a lot to do but we are not just about work work work!

We have 3 boys between us who are now adults and live in the UK and also have 2 dogs, a Great Dane and a Jack Russell.
