As a couple/duo
Hello
We are Jennifer and Johan, a retired South African couple in our sixties, now based in Portugal. After a lifetime of raising children and a wide variety of animals, we are following our passion to travel and care for others' beloved pets and homes.
Our Experience & Philosophy
We are lifelong animal lovers. Over the years, our family has included everything from dogs and cats to ducks, birds, chickens, tortoises, and even orphaned lambs. We understand that pets are family, and we thrive on maintaining their established routines so they feel safe and loved while you are away.
Why Choose Us?
Proven Reliability: While new to Nomador, we are experienced international sitters with a consistent five-star track record on TrustedHouseSitters (THS) across France and Spain. We are happy to provide these reviews or personal references upon request.
Home & Garden Care: We treat every home as if it were our own. I am an avid gardener, and Johan is a "maestro" of home maintenance—he recently renovated a Portuguese ruin single-handedly! Whether it is tending to your plants or keeping an eye on technical details, your home will be in expert hands.
Local & Mobile: We travel in our own car (with our e-bikes), making us highly flexible and reliable for sits throughout Europe.
We have spent the last years pet-sitting across Portugal and Europe, often being invited back for repeat sits by owners who value our genuine animal love, communication and care. It would be a privilege to look after your pets and give you total peace of mind while you travel.

Jennifer et son mari sont adorables ! Ils ont été fantastiques toute la durée du séjour. J'ai reçu des nouvelles tous les jours, avec photos et vidéos incluses. Ils sont très agréables, la maison était parfaitement propre et rangée à mon retour, un vrai plaisir ! Merci pour tout.
