Needs and animals

Animals with specific needs | Vegetable patch | 2 Cats

We expect our house-sitter to take care of our two cats: Billie and Mitzi. They are 10 years old and are very friendly and sociable. We have developed a fusional relationship (!) with our cats over the years, and it's very important for us to ensure their well-being. They need water (especially in summer), food twice a day (Mitzi has a special food because he got kidney stones in the past), and a clean cat litter. If you can play with them they will be thrilled :)
We will also need you to water our garden, located at 8 min from home walking (it's a communitarian garden).

House

Old house in the city center of Tavira (5 min walking from the train/bus stations, 10 min from the boat going to the Tavira island and beaches). The house is full of history with a lot of character. It has Wi-Fi, television, hot water, washing machine, dishwasher, but some of rooms need extensions to get electricity and don't have much light at night. Important to be careful with the facilities in general, it is old and fragile! We recently started a renovation and some of the rooms are a bit rough. The house is extremely quiet and has an internal terrace with plants.
We also have a community garden 8 min walking from our place and usually ask house-sitters to take care of it as well.

Our house is very quiet and spacious. We have high speed internet and a Thermomix if you like to cook!

Small and quiet street in the old town of Tavira. Supermarkets, bars, restaurants and bakeries very close to our place. Everything is accessible at walking distance.

Grenoble, France - June 2026

Mélanie est très accueillante et sa maison typique portugaise avec ses magnifiques carreaux de faïence, son fer forgé, vitraux très pittoresque même si actuellement en travaux. Mitzie et Billie sont des amours, Billie est plus demandeuse de calins et Mitzie est malin, il a des croquettes spécifiques à prendre et arrive toujours à se faufiler pour aller piocher dans la gamelle de Billie. L'appartement est situé dans le centre historique, c'est superbe et pour les amoureux de l'océan, l'île de Tavira et ses immenses plages de sable blanc à 20 mn en ferry. J'ai beaucoup apprécié le séjour, d'autant plus que ma fille m'a rejoint pour un moment privilégié mère-fille dans un cadre bien sympathique avec la compagnie de deux adorables chats.

Super séjour. Les chats sont sympas, Mitzi un grand parleur et Billie plus discrète et très câline. Mélanie est très accueillante et Tavira une superbe ville, la rivière, la mer. Avec le train j' ai pû découvrir d'autres endroits à la journée. Merci beaucoup pour la confiance !

Très belle belle et très ancienne maison, avec des travaux en cours. Très bien située, la gare est toute proche, elle permet de visiter l'Algarve. Tavira est une belle petite ville tranquille. Les chats sont d'agréable compagnie: Billie est adorable et Mitzi très intelligent. Mélanie dont l'accueil a été chaleureux est soucieuse de leur bien -être.
