We are a retired couple who wish to travel more now. We need someone who loves animals and can take care of our pets: 1 dog and 1 cat, as well as maintain our 3bdr. townhome and water the potted plants; someone who can walk our dog 2-3 times a day. Both the dog and cat are indoor pets who go outside occasionally during the day & evening, The cat has a litter box inside the laundry room which will need to be cleaned once a week. Both our medium-size dog and cat are very friendly.

We live near the beach in a small gated townhome community (about 30). There is access to a large community 100,000 gallon pool and access to the smooth, virtually deserted beach. Playa Rompio is a small fishing village of about 250 people, 10% expats. It is located on the Azuero Pennisula, about 5 hours from Panama City. There is  only 1 small restaurant nearby, a couple more at the adjacent beach; 10 min. drive to mini markets or 20 to 30 min. drive to the cities of La Villa de Los Santos, Chitre or Las Tablas where there are larger grocery stores, hospitals, banks, etc. A local bus stops in front of the complex hourly, 7 days a week, or call for a taxi. (Our car might be available for use.) We can pick you up at the Chitre bus terminal. 

Those who are definitely interested and available, please reply.

We had a good video chat when applying for the sit and there was good communication with WhatsApp after confirmation of the sit. Connie and Mikkel are kind and generous people. We got to the sit a couple of days early and Connie and Mikkel picked us up us at the bus station in Chitre. They took time out from preparing for their trip to drive us to grocery stores, favourite fruit & veggie stands as well as taking us sightseeing and introducing us to some neighbours . It was very helpful, especially as they left us their car to use. We were included in an ex-pat luncheon in Chitre and Chris was invited to a men's coffee morning. Connie gave us a list with several contact numbers if we should ever need help as well as their itinerary and ways to reach them
The animals at the sit, Chavo and Mia, have to be up with the most easy care animals it has been our pleasure to spend time with. They are both very quiet - the only time Chavo makes any noise is when he's dreaming :-). Mia hardly utters a peep. They sleep a lot of the time, probably the heat. They are very affectionate - each one just taps you lightly with their paw when they want attention. Mia loves to hang out next to you or on you (she'll take any amount of loving) and Chavo always likes to be where we are. Chavo really enjoys his daily beach walks. The beach is minutes away and when we were there was almost always deserted. There were a couple of minor incidents from other dogs on the beach but nothing that caused any issues.
The roomy house is comfortable and we had our own room with our own bathroom and balcony. There is airconditioning available in the bedrooms but we found the ceiling fan was all we needed. As we were there during the rainy season Connie warned us that there may be some ceiling leaks in the house and she left towels near all the likely places . We only lost the internet and power very briefly a few times during the storms but it was mainly very good and reliable. The grounds and pool were perfectly maintained.
We enjoyed spending time with Connie and Mikkel before and after their trip. Connie is very creative and there were lots of her attractive pieces around the house. Mikkel made some delicious meals and conversation flowed.  We're very happy we had the opportunity to meet this pleasant couple and spend time with two delightful animals.
