Working From Home turned Caring For Homes (and little ones)

About this sitter

Nerdy, bit shy at first and sucker for accents and food... equally important!
Sadly animals can't talk, but they are always great company!

Now for something that actually matters:
--> Dog owner for a little over 14 years (but have taken care of cats and kittens as well)
--> Spend lots of time at home for work, but also learning things on the internet and connecting with friends from across the world!
--> Occasionally volunteer for help at local shelters
--> Always up for a good hiking trail and roadtrip (which many animals love too!)

Would like to find pet owners and rescuers that need a helping hand with their most precious ones (bonus points if it's a remote place!).

Why they want to house sit

In a nutshell, I'd like to get back to experiencing caring for animals and plants, of all sizes, shapes and in all sorts of different locations

Their experience

Yes, I have done 2 house/pet sittings. One in June for a lovely old dog named Chita, in Seixal. And another one taking care of 2 friendly cats and several potted plants and small trees in Quinta do Conde.
In July and August I will have 2 more, with several cats, dogs and even chicken.

Before these, my last experience was in March during a trip in Madeira, where I volunteered at a local shelter, that a Canadian friend of mine volunteered at. That's where my first picture is from.
Fun fact: the dog in the picture is also named Pedro!

Although I had animals for most of my life, I am unable to house animals in my current home. And despite living in a rural location, it's been a few years since I have been able to regularly care for farm animals and land.

What can they bring to the assignment

- Lots of availability (because I can work from pretty much anywhere, with an internet connection)
- Have a car (in Portugal) and have no problem finding other means of transportation (outside of Portugal)
- Clean, tidy and no surprises (can take of myself, not a smoker, drinker, party-goer, etc.)
- Last but not least, all the care and patience for your most precious ones!
