About this sitter

I'm a quiet, tidy, methodical writer (2 novels published in 2000 and 2002) and a legal translator (Italian-Eng), we're looking for a peaceful place to stay for at least 2 weeks in Portugal where I can begin work on a new novel. Irish, married, resident in Lisbon province. Mother tongue English, with excellent Italian and French and good German and Portuguese

Why they want to house sit

Principally, to begin work on a new novel

Their experience

My first time on the platform

What can they bring to the assignment

As we own our own home, I can fulfil whatever I would expect a responsible person to do as if it were our own home. Taking into account pet-care and plant-care duties as required. I don't have testimonials yet, as it would be a first engagement, but a reference is supplied here from an Italian translation agency contact, and if interested I can send a bio/photo pic from my second published novel (2002, Orion, London)
