We visited with Gemma’s owners prior to the sit as we were housesitting close by. Gemma is a sweet little black cat who stays indoors at all times. At first she was a little shy but it only took a day or two before she came out from under the dining table and took to her usual positions around the house including our laps!
Gemma’s home is one of Montville’s beautiful B&B’s. In conversation with the owners at our first meeting we asked whether they would allow us to run their B&B in their absence. They happily agreed for us to do so and we visited again prior to the sit in order to go through the procedure. The B&B is just beautiful!
We are very grateful for being given the opportunity to add this experience to our housesitting lifestyle. We both like to be kept busy and having enjoyed this experience we would welcome the opportunity to do this again.

Food/Water for Gemma

Wow! What an interesting opportunity to come out of house and pet sitting Gemma. We love visiting beautiful Montville. Then to take on the care of the beautiful B&B as well! I love how you saw an opportunity and put yourselves forward. I hope you get more opportunities to care for another B&B in the future.
Thank you Estelle, it was interesting and we thought it was an oppurtunity too good to pass if the owners were interested in allowing us to do so. They were really ready for a break after not having a holiday in years and thought it lovely that they had the confidence in us.
