Bedürfnisse und Tiere

Großer Garten | 2 Katzen

Our 2 lovely cats are Ms. Fletcher (Fletchie), around 8 yo., and Micio, 3 yo., mother and son. They both are loving and playful cats. She is very independent and goes for strolls at her own wish, spending most of the day out. He has altered mobility, a consequence of an infection that affected him as a kitty, but he walks, jumps, goes down and up the stairs and is healthy. He also goes for strolls outside, while we're at home, although he tends to spend most of the time indoors.
The sitter will feed them, as per instructions and keep fresh water available. We wish for someone who can combine enjoying the area with keeping them company a bit everyday. While people are away, Micio stays indoors, and at night they both sleep in. There's no cat door, so it's important to pay attention to when they ask to come in, which they make very obvious, by scratching the door.

Micio takes some medication once a day, in the evening, easy to give in powder mixed with pâté.

Einzelheiten zu diesen Terminen

We'd like house sitter(s) to arrive at least one day before we leave so we can go through instructions, get to know the pets, explore the neighborhood and assist with shopping. Also leaving the day after we arrive is prefered. You could come earlier and leave later, to enjoy your time here longer.

Haus

Old farm house in the process of restoration, in the country. Olive grove and fruit orchard. Fresh water from underground. Friendly neighbours on the same road, so it's not isolated, there's people nearby, but keeping the privacy and quietness of the country. 1,5km from the village. Ideal to enjoy slow life and Nature.

Dehesa de Campoamor, Spain - Oktober 2023

One of the most enjoyable pet sits I've ever had. Anna Teresa & Alessandro gave me a warm welcome and were very friendly, easy-going, and understanding during the duration of my stay in their place. Their kitties: Micio and Fletchie are both a joy to be around and very easy to take care of. Fletchie is more on the independent side, while her son, Micio, is a super social and curious boy. Both are cuddly, peaceful and make great (even if often sleepy) company. The flat is comfortable and safe, with everything one may need for a few weeks stay. I have utterly loved the zone of Meco/Sesimbra, which I find extremely beautiful and could not stop exploring. Very grateful for that assignment. Thanks for having me, Ana & Alessandro!

Coming to Ana and Alessandro's place was a real pleasure and such a nice opportunity to come to Portugal ! I felt so warmly welcomed. A couple of days shared together to get to know the place, the cats and each other. Fletchie and Micio are adorable cats, so affectionate, soft and heart-driven creatures, such as their owners. I also loved the location 10 minutes away from the Ocean, a huge beach and the pine forest just next to the house. Thanks again for this warm and caring experience Ana and Alessandro :)
