Description
Spend a week or longer in a well presented comfortable house with south facing garden and amazing views, in the mountains looking after our dog and the cat, if i am not here.
Otherwise just a bit of maintenance around the house and helping in the garden!

Lots of fun things to do locally. Hiking, local markets, Spain 1.5 kms away, Andorra, thermal pools, relaxing!
Saillagouse, the French Pyrenees, near Spain and the beach is only 90 minutes away!

The house is one kilometer from the center of the village with a few restaurants, a spa and Catalan, French and Spanish culture! We are ten minutes from Spain and only 1km from Llivia with plenty of bars and restaurants. Walking and mountain biking here is amazing with ample storage space in the garage for bikes. Or you can rent on the spot .......the views are magnificent with many lakes. The beach is 90 minutes away!
La maison est à un kilomètre du centre du village avec quelques restaurants, une station thermale et une culture catalane, française et espagnole ! Nous sommes à dix minutes de l'Espagne et à seulement 1 km de Llivia avec de nombreux bars et restaurants. La marche et le VTT ici sont incroyables avec un grand espace de rangement dans le garage pour les vélos. Ou vous pouvez louer sur place .......les vues sont magnifique avec beaucoup des lacs.
Le plage est 90 minutes !
Help
I am looking for a couple or a single person who loves dogs , to stay in our beautiful mountain home and take care of Scott my dog, fudge the cat and keep an eye on the fish tank, while I do none dog friendly things.
Weekends outside the school holidays and anytime in the school holidays.
If we are here, a bit of help around the house and garden would be great.
Scott needs to be let out by eight o'clock, normally a long walk or run in the morning, as he is a dog that needs/likes exercise and tons of love!
Of course he loves to go out for more walks, as much as you want, but a good walk in the morning and a medium one later in the day is enough.
He can be left in the garden all day, no problem but you must be home at night. He sleeps in his room without a problem normally from ten to eight!
I also have a cat that has an automatic feeder that needs to be checked and given water and love! Kitty litter to be dealt with too...
Of course, it's all about keeping the garden clean and putting any mess in a bag every day with the garbage!
We live in beautiful countryside at 1200 meters of altitude but on a plateau called Cerdanya.
There is so much to do here, hiking, biking, sailing and swimming at the lakes, scenery, thermal baths, historic places, spain, Andorra on the doorstep! The beach is 90 minutes away near Perpignan. Public transport is good, buses and the yellow train. We are fifteen minutes from the nearest ski stations which offer a lot of summer activities!
The house has a large kitchen, dining room with balcony and there is a double room and shower room for you. Our part is an annexe upstairs off the main kitchen. There is a large front terrace and a cooler north facing back terrace.
When we are here there is a corner kitchen and dining room downstairs next to the guest accommodation with your own storage space, to be independent!!!!!!
Of course you are welcome to join us.
Je cherche un couple ou une personne seule qui aime les chiens, pour rester dans notre belle maison de montagne et prendre soin de Scott, mon chien, caresser le chat et garder un œil sur l'aquarium, pendant que je fais des choses qui ne sont pas amicales pour les chiens.
Week-ends en dehors des vacances scolaires et à tout moment pendant les vacances scolaires.
Si nous sommes ici, un peu d'aide dans la maison et le jardin serait le bienvenu.
Scott a besoin d'être libéré à huit heures ou avant, normalement une longue promenade ou une course le matin, car c'est un chien qui a besoin/ aime l'exercice et des tonnes d'amour !
Bien sûr, il adore sortir pour d'autres promenades, autant que vous le souhaitez, mais une bonne promenade le matin et une moyenne plus tard dans la journée sont suffisantes.
Il peut être laissé dans le jardin toute la journée, sans problème, mais vous devez être à la maison la nuit. Il dort dans sa chambre sans problème, normalement de dix heures à huit heures !
J'ai aussi un chat qui a une mangeoire automatique qu'il faut vérifier et à qui il faut donner de l'eau et de l'amour ! Il faut aussi s'occuper de la litière du chat...
Bien sûr, il s'agit de garder le jardin propre et de mettre tous les déchets dans un sac chaque jour avec les ordures ménagères !
Nous vivons dans une belle campagne à 1200 mètres d'altitude, sur un plateau appelé Cerdagne.
Il y a tellement de choses à faire ici, des randonnées, du vélo, de la voile et de la natation dans les lacs, des paysages, des bains thermaux, des lieux historiques, l'Espagne, l'Andorre à portée de main ! La plage est à 90 minutes, près de Perpignan. Les transports en commun sont bons, bus et train jaune. Nous sommes à quinze minutes des stations de ski les plus proches qui offrent de nombreuses activités estivales !

I enjoyed speaking with him and thank you for cooking with Poppy! We have lasting fun memories of your stay here.
The main part of my job was walking the dog. He was a very smart sheepdog, so he mostly took care of himself. Walking in the great nature of the Pyrenees was far too enjoyable to feel like work.

Scott and Gypsy are easy, lovely dogs, we enjoyed the long walks in the morning and took them to the river to cool down in the afternoon, what they liked a lot. When it will be a hot day, better start your long walk at 7,… read more
