About Bob a.

53 years old | Artist / Engineer

Hi. My name is Bob. I have moved to France under the Brexit agreement. I am exploring different parts of France and searching for a rural community to live and grow my own food, follow permaculture principles and live quietly in nature. And hopefully write poetry and live frugally with a light footprint on the planet.

Passionate about animals, nature, wild places, cycling, hiking and growing organic foods. I have mostly taken care of cats and chickens, but love dogs too. Cats seem to like me and most are at ease, enjoying my presence. I grew up with chickens and as a teenager, have walked Great Danes for pocket money!

I have recently taken care of JPs house outside Rennes, France, for about 2 weeks (looking after Dacia the cat who really is not a grumpy cat, although she loves digging her claws into you whilst seeking affection and purring). I have previously completed house and pet sits in Lyon over Christmas, 3 parrots in Nice for five weeks, my last sit for "Captain" a Shibu Innu in Cotignac, Provence, 10 days in Feb,22; Paris, France, Ostuni, Puglia, Italy; Dacia the grumpy cat of Rennes!

I love plants and have grown a lot of food, I can take care of all your plants and gardens. I am mostly vegetarian and eat organic foods and can accept strictly vegetarian stays at your house. I do not smoke.

I am a part time artist/engineer and have lived the last 20 years in Vancouver, Canada ( I left in 2019).

I am a practical person: recycled and repaired many things, good at problem solving, self-reliant and reliable. I design and build furniture and lamps using waste materials and do minor electrical / plumbing repairs. I have spent 12 years in my own heritage house in Vancouver so understand very much the requirements of home owners and their pets. With pleasure I will keep owners informed with regular updates and pictures of their pets and taking care of their home, ensuring it's secure and clean. I will be happy to look after your home as I would expect others would of mine.

After taking care of your pets needs I will be:
a) continuing online university courses b) doing research on the Internet c) reading or drawing, hiking or cycling/exploring nearby.

Nous avons accueilli Bob pendant 3 semaines cet été et tout s'est bien passé. Nous avons eu un premier contact préalable et avons régulièrement échangé par Whatsapp pendant mon absence. Le chat et la maison vont très bien :-) Bob est très sympathique et nous avons beaucoup discuté. Je le recevrai avec plaisir s'il le souhaite également. Merci pour tout !
