About Stani & richard v.
IT consultant in the charitable field
We are Richard and Stani, a French/English couple in our 40's.
As we love animals (some might say even more than humans!!) we'd ideally like to sit for somewhere there is a pet or even better - several! We love cats and dogs but are equally comfortable with farm animals as Richard grew up on a farm with sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, geese and donkeys and we have looked after the farm many times over the years when his parents were on holiday.
We are hoping to house sit as we have just returned from a world bicycle tour where we visited 65 different countries and travelled over 175,000 kms. After so many different places, we are nothing if not adaptable! Our home in London is rented out until 2017 so we plan to do some cycling in Europe and hopefully do a few housesits until our property becomes vacant. So we understand having someone living in your home and the trust you have to place in their responsible behaviour.
Somewhere with a garden or outside land would be a plus as we love being outside and being vegetarians especially enjoy looking after vegetable gardens.
As we love the outdoors, we'd be happy being somewhere remote but are equally content to be in a city, town or village.
Professionally, Richard is a wine sommelier and Stani works as an IT consultant for a charitable organisation. As we'll be working online, we do need somewhere with access to the internet. Non professionally we are excellent bike mechanics ;-)
We are very responsible, practical, trustworthy, energetic and fit and non smokers of course.
We've housesat several times in countries such as France, Australia, Cambodia, Thailand, Mexico, always because there were animals that needed caring for in their owners absence. We've made good friends with many and stayed in touch with all the owners. In some cases we have returned several times for repeat housesits. Whilst these were all arranged privately, we'd be happy to provide contact details if references were requested. The most recent was in France this year so it would be easy to arrange for you to check.
We are fit and energetic so happy to do general maintenance in the garden if required and the guarantee that your home will be kept as spotless and your pet cared for and loved as if it were our own.

Richard et Stani se sont occupés de notre maison et de nos animaux pendant deux mois. Ils sont très respectueux et nous avons retrouvé la maison dans le même état que si nous étions partis la veille. Ce sont des amis des animaux : notre chat et nos deux lapins ont été chouchoutés tout au long de leur séjour. Stani allait même cueillir des plantes sauvages pour les lapins et Richard a beaucoup joué avec notre chat. J'ai reçu des nouvelles et des photos régulièrement. Je leur souhaite de belles aventures à vélo et espère les accueillir à nouveau. Merci beaucoup !

Nous sommes ravis d'avoir fait la connaissance de Richard et Stani, se sont de très belles personnes et de formidables homesitters. Nous savions en les rencontrant que nos animaux seraient heureux et ce fût le cas. Nous avions des nouvelles très régulièrement, nous avons donc profité pleinement de nos vacances À notre retour la maison était impeccable et nos animaux tranquilles. C'était une très belle expérience. Un grand MERCI à eux et à très bientôt, j'espère.
