  Description

  Hi all, we're Caroline (34) and Joren (33), a Belgian couple who moved permanently to the beautiful province of Värmland in south Sweden in 2023. Together with our 2 fur babies, Franco and Maestro, we live in a typical Swedish wooden house, surrounded by 50 hectares of forest.
  
  We aspire to become self-sufficient on our little slice of paradise, growing veggies, chopping our own firewood and keeping a few farm animals. This summer we extended our menagerie with 3 sweet hens, called Paulette, Claudette and Omelette, and our glorious rooster, Fred.
  
  At the end of August, we're getting married, and going on our honey moon to Scotland during the first two weeks of September. That's why we're looking for caring petsitters to look after our house and animals during that period. We still have to book our flights, so we're quite flexible regarding the exact dates.
  
  If you're available and this opportunity interests you, we'd love to meet you during a video call! :-)
