Irene cared for our house and 2 dogs for long weekends to several weeks over the years when we owned a Bed and Breakfast in France and then when we retired. She has proven to be an extremely reliable person and we have always left our home and beloved pets in her very capable hands. She provided an update, photos and videos of the dogs during our absence. She is a world traveller, speaks 5 languages and handles change very well. Irene is clean, tidy, responsible and a true animal lover which allowed us to leave with a complete peace of mind.
