House sitting in Paris

Do you find yourself petting all the cute animals as you stroll down the street? Fancy staying in the City of Lights for free? It’s time to go house sitting in Paris.

Care for the cuddly pets of France while their humans are away and stay in beautiful homes without paying a euro. House sitting in Paris is the perfect way for pet enthusiasts to experience the romantic city, whether it's taking selfies with a dog in front of the Eiffel Tower, exploring the Louvre or taking a pooch for a walk along the picturesque streets. 

The Eiffel Tower 

House sitting gives you a relaxing way to explore Paris. Everything is more fun with a dog in tow. The Eiffel Tower is one of the most recognised icons in the world, and it's a must-see if you're house sitting in Paris. Pooch isn't allowed in the tower itself, but she's welcome on the two-mile Eiffel Tower Walk Trail. This easy hike will take you to an elevation of 72 feet. The Champ de Mars is the perfect spot for a picnic, too. Just don't forget the doggy treats! 

Foodie tours 

The City of Lights is famous for its food and wine, so no Paris house sitting gig is complete without a food tour. Most of the city's restaurants are dog-friendly, particularly those with outdoor cafes. Why not head to Le Marais to take a gastronomic walking tour? The neighbourhood does street food par excellence, and it's one of the most dog-friendly ways to experience Parisian cuisine.

Walkies around the capital 

Looking after a pooch in Paris is easy when there are so many dog-friendly monuments to add to your daily walkies schedule. The Buttes Chaumont Park and Jardin du Luxembourg are on-leash areas. The Bois de Boulogne offers a delightful riverside walk that's perfect for Paris dog lovers. If you're in the mood for some shopping, the dog-friendly Bercy Village outdoor mall hosts a doggy brunch every Sunday. Bon appétit! 

Artistic getaways 

Rumour has it that Paris' cats are often willing to give their sitters permission to visit The Louvre for the day. This is the home of some of the most famous paintings in the world, including The Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo. Looking after a cat in Paris is perfect for pet lovers who love gallery-hopping, so spend some time trawling through Rodin's old home. It houses 8,000 drawings and 7,000 works of art. Looking after a cat in Paris should also incorporate the Cartier Foundation for Contemporary Art, which has work by Thierry Kuntzel and Jean-Michel Alberola.
