Needs and animals

We have a Beagle dog, a Bengal cat and some chickens, who will need a reliable individual, couple or family to take care of them. The Beagle enjoys hikes up the mountain or leisurely walks into town to fetch your baguette each morning, the Bengal keeps to himself but will occasionally come around for some attention and the chickens are very easy with an electric door that lets them out and locks them in for bed each day. We travel extensively and require piece of mind during our time away. The housesitter(s) must be a self-efficient, handy, and able manage any breakdowns or incidents that may occur around the house. As an absolute minimum you would be someone who takes the initiative to fix small problems when they arise, respect our property and possessions, be low maintenance, contact us with updates twice a week or if there is an absolute emergency. Please only get in touch if you have past house-sitting experience through Nomador.

House

We have recently moved from central London to an old farmhouse in the village of Servoz, in the Chamonix valley. The house is steeped in history - first constructed in 1787 in La Clusaz, then dismantled and transported in 1950 to its current location in Vieux Servoz where it now looks onto the Mont Blanc Massif. Life is very easy here with stunning nature to enjoy, incredible walks straight up the mountain from our woodland garden, three lovely pets to play with and all the comforts of modern living - wifi, sound systems, smart tv, netflix, etc. It is the perfect spot for mountain lovers or those looking to escape city life for a moment. With very few amenities in the village, and the nearest store being 1.4km from the house, it is advisable to bring a car to this house sit.

Quel magnifique séjour chez Laura qui nous a accueilli dans son très bel environnement avec une gentillesse pleine de délicatesse. Tout a été parfait. L'affection de Monty et Neko qui viennent chercher le contact ainsi que les 3 poulettes aux bons œufs frais, la vue exceptionnelle sur le MontBlanc depuis les terrasses et les transats. La région offre une multitude de randonnées et de paysages grandioses. Nous avons adoré ce séjour où tout était parfait. Votre souhait de nous revoir nous touche beaucoup et nous serons ravis de revenir l’an prochain et rencontrer toute la petite famille. Encore un grand merci à toi Laura pour cette belle rencontre.

We had a delightful stay at Laura and Nick's home. The house is cosy and welcoming. The view from the garden is stunning !! Everything was set out for our comfort. The house was neat and clean so we could get comfortable right away ! Laura was of great help regarding facilities, showed us around and explained everything! Laura was available at all times and was able to answer our questions from their holiday residence. They made it so convenient for us! The pets were adorable. Our kids loved cuddling and taking care of them. Monty, the dog, is very easy and sporty when hiking, Neko, the cat, is very endearing and loves to be cuddled ! We were lucky to get so many eggs a day thanks to the chickens. Everything was so easy, and this stay will be memorable for the whole family. We enjoyed hiking around, and discovering this amazing region. We would highly recommend pet sitting at Laura and Nick 's home. Hope to see each other in the future!

Aprés un accueil trés chaleureux, quel bonheur de séjourner dans un endroit aussi merveilleux. Autant le logement offert que le site majestueux. Vraiment grand merci a cette aimable famille de m'avoir permis de passer ces quelques jours de ravissement, et si bien accompagné par le chien, et le chat, de trés bonne compagnie. Merci pour votre générosité! Michel.
