Cressat, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France

Hello, my name is Barbi and I am American born with a Dutch husband, living in France. We work from home and are flexible on dates often, so you can always make a suggestion. We are looking for animal lovers who enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside..We love meeting new people and I am a very good cook and will make you dinner.

A car is essential here. There are wonderful walks and cycling trails all over. The views are unobstructed and wonderful. There are villages with many conveniences at 8 km in either direction. Also a small village with a restaurant about 2 km away. Big supermarket is about 15 minutes drive. We have a rustic style home with modern touches such as a new kitchen, a jacuzzi bathtub for 2, dishwasher, washer and dryer, etc. We have satellite TV with many channels and countries to choose from. We have fast internet thanks to fiber. Our guest room is comfy and charming. I have lots of books if you like to read.

This is such a beautiful area for nature lovers, and there's no noise. We have a big yard to relax in, have a BBQ or play boules! We have privacy here, the house is at the end of the hamlet. There are many things to see and do in our area at a short drive. Castles, quaint villages, town market days.

We have five cats and an older chicken. I don't know if our sweet chicken will still be around for this housesit, but I hope so. Cats in general are great pets, they are independent but still loving. One cat needs thyroid meds twice a day, once in the morning and then before bedtime. It's liquid in a syringe you just squirt in her mouth, very easy and she is a sweet cat.
