Our experience

Last fall we house sat for a large older home and 2 acre garden near Le Lavandou, France. We were responsible for watering, pruning, and general clean-up as well as looking after the home, 2 gites, and upkeep of the garden tools including

Mary and Paul looked after our house and garden in the South of France for 4 weeks while we were away. They are a lovely, friendly, reliable couple and very careful and respectful of our property. They left the house clean and had done a lot of work in our garden which was very much appreciated. During their last 2 days there was a problem with the plumbing causing a flood in one of the downstairs rooms. They fixed the problem, cleared up the room and kept us informed by email and Whatsapp. The family pet was with us and so I have not rated the pet care. We would not hesitate to invite them back again. We recommend them to anybody considering taking advantage of the Trusted House Sitter site.

Why we want to house sit

We prefer to stay in smaller cities and villages and live like locals. Being in a private residence with pets and neighbors is so much more interesting to us. We like to hike, walk, ride bikes and scooters, and gardening. Basically, we
