We are a couple in our early 60s, still fit. We have lived in The same area of Alicante for the last 30 years and are very established, after relocating from Colchester essex. We have always had pets, we had a small holding near Colchester,so are able to look after most pets. After we lost our much loved French Bulldog a year ago, we vowed No more pets, but we still yearn for the love only animals can offer.

Testimonials

Housesit for us in Murcia

Lis and Rick are a nice couple very friendly and easy to get on with and willing to make sure everything runs smoothly. They were excellent with our 7 cats especially Jasmine who had had chemo on her face and needed to stay in out of the sun but allowed out supervised. I think she gave them the runaround but couldn't go that far with her protective cone on. But they managed to keep her in check All the cats were happy y content when we came back. The house was nice and clean and our plants were watered and looked good. They come highly recommended. We would definitely use them again. Xx

Rick and Lisa arrived two days early just so our dogs could get to know them. Just saying that tells you that they are excellent pet / House Sitters who will go the extra mile to keep your pets happy. Our dogs, a happy loves everyone Staffordshire Bull terrier age 4 and a grumpy suspicious Shar pei cross age 14 both loved them. Rick and Lisa looked after our dogs as individuals, one is much more energetic than the other and both dogs were happy and well,when we returned. The house was tidy and clean and they even organised a couple of domestic appointments that we could not attend to. They are fluent English and Spanish speakers. I cannot recomend them highly enough.
