Mature, kind, tidy couple

About this sitter

We are animal loving English teachers (50 and 57 years old) who have lived and worked in Spain for 20 years. At present we live in El Puerto de Santa Maria in Cadiz. We are looking for somewhere quiet to spend the summer (July and August). We do have 2 small (8kg and 12kg) Podenco-ish dogs. They are quiet and well behaved.

Why they want to house sit

During July and August and also at Christmas, we don't have much work teaching, and we rent out our house in El Puerto to holidaymakers. Usually we camp around Spain or Portugal, but this year we are looking for somewhere a bit more stable as one of our dogs is getting elderly (we think she's about 12..) and wants a quiet time.

Their experience

We love dogs and animals generally, and are very responsible. It is a priority for us that they get the best possible care. As we have our own house, we are good at basic maintenance and gardening, and also swimming pool care. We speak Spanish well, so can deal with any problems that come up.

What can they bring to the assignment

We are responsible and kind people, and it really matters to us that we look after pets and a home as well as we would like ours to be cared for.
