About this sitter
Hi. We (Tony and Stella) are well used to looking after pets - I always had dogs (our last dog, Hanya, died a few years ago at 16 years of age), and Stella had cats.
In 2023 we started pet-sitting and got 5-star reviews. We have also done many house exchanges - I can send you the reviews, just ask! Or you can download, with a few pics, at https://app.box.com/s/zl65mm6xhm0jdkg8nmknnaxzku1ig4ne
We live in Spain but are widely travelled- we both speak Spanish, I also speak fluent Italian and French, and reasonable German. Exercising dogs is not a problem - we take quite long walks regularly.
Why they want to house sit
We have done many house exchanges over the years- having a pet or two to look after only makes things even better!
We are 5-star rated on the HomeExchange site, and have now done five pet-sits. Please look at our references at https://app.box.com/s/zl65mm6xhm0jdkg8nmknnaxzku1ig4ne

Their experience
We are responsible people who will look after your house and pets as if they were our own. We have looked after foster dogs (approval obtained!) for the local dogs home, and often have friends' dogs to stay while they travel.

Testimonials
Merci Tony
En confiance, Tony et Stella ont assuré : posent les bonnes questions sur les habitudes des chiens pour ne rien chambouler. Comme c'était un court weekend, ils n' ont voulu prendre aucun risque pour éviter les fugues : laisse pour Rocky et jardin pour Dekra. C'est la sécurité, on ne sait jamais les réactions des animaux. Ils leur ont apporté de la compagnie, câlins, discussions : nos chiens ont besoin de ce contact avec l'humain pour ne pas se sentir seuls. Merci 🙏

House Sit in Kanturk.
Tony and Stella house and pet sat for us from the 2'nd -18 'th August. From the beginning they were friendly and communicative.We discussed travel plans and co-ordinated their arrival. They even visited us while holidaying in the area to meet the pets and get to know the house and surrounding area. While we were away,they sent us regular updates and photos.Our favourite was the tummy rub routine every morning.....the dogs were lining up! We arrived home to a lovely clean house and three very happy doggies. We couldnt have asked for more and would recommend without hesitation. Catherine/Mike.

Un séjour sans problème
Un séjour sans problème,Tony et Stella se sont occupés de la maison et de nos trois chiens pendant une semaine. Promenades avec les chiens et visites de la région communication facile avec WhatsApp. Nous leur sommes très reconnaissants d'avoir pu prendre une semaine de vacances sereinement.

Highly Recommended
Tony and Stella were fantastic house sitters, they kept in contact and sent me regular photos and updates. We experienced a blip during their stay and they could not be any more accommodating and understanding. They were very friendly to all our neighbors. The house was in immaculate condition when I returned. I would definitely recommend this couple.
