We are a VERY responsible retired couple offering housesitting/petsitting. Lyn is a certified service dog trainer/behaviorist/nutritionist and Bob is a retired software engineer/artist/house renovator. We are both huge animal lovers. Originally from Washington and California, we sold our beautiful house in California and moved to Portugal.
We are very experienced at this, having done it since 2008. Your animals, house and garden will be looked after with the utmost care. We are:
- Non smokers
- Meticulously clean
- Eco-friendly
- Quiet, non-partiers
- Very experienced in home maintenance and gardening (homeowners for 40 years)
- World travelers
- Experienced animal handlers
We are looking for a house south of Lisbon (Azeitao) or the Algarve but will consider other locations.
Thank you for considering us. Feel free to contact us for our references and rave reviews.
Regards,
Lyn and Bob
