Jo & Neil looked after Evelyne’s pets & home
I first met Jo and Neil when I joined the English class they were teaching, as volunteers, in our French town of Bourbon-Lancy. I have a small farm with 2 aging horses, 2 donkeys, a cat, ducks and several peacocks. On several occasions when we were on holiday they took care of the animals, which included giving one of the horses its medicine. Neil was wonderful when one of our horses, Queenie, had a cut on her fetlock and he helped the vet handle her while the vet stitched up the cut. Neil and Jo also kept an eye on the property and made sure there were no safety issues. I'm sure all THS homeowners can feel confident away from home when they choose Jo and Neil to look after their home and pets.
