We've had many housesitters and Francois and Mariana are the best of the best. They are true professionals. We were so lucky to have them housesit for us and our cat and dog. They were confident, calm, and attentive with the pets from the first minute they walked in the door. It was very clear that they are extremely sensitive to animal needs and "communication", so they were closely attuned to what our pets were feeling and what they needed. For example, our dog gets agitated about us leaving and Mariana talked to her and petted her quietly as we got ready - eventually, the dog was lying down calmly as we walked out the door (this never happens!!!!) As housesitters and as people, they are also wonderful, trustworthy, and attentive. It was clear from their updates that they not only read, but thoroughly studied and understood all the instructions in our detailed welcome guide. They are also friendly, respectful people who were extremely responsive, always available when we checked in and ready with a little story about what they and the pets were up to. They were scrupulously on time to start and end the sit, even though we asked them to arrive at our place at 6 in the morning!! The house was spotlessly clean when we arrived and the pets were happy and relaxed. Our animals were very clearly in amazing hands. The dog was well-behaved after their stay (usually she has a bit of a backslide in bad habits during extended stays with others, but not this time!) and even the cat seemed much happier than he usually does when we come back from a trip. There is no better feeling as a pet owner - that your house sitters truly understand AND care deeply about your babies. We are so happy to have had Francois and Mariana as our housesitters, and we truly hope to meet or have them sit for us again. PS They even sent us the most delightful video they had created showing the pets' adventures during the week. In short, they are the best!!

Amanda
We loved this sit and would have happily moved in permanently 🤣. 
Amanda and Chris were very welcoming hosts throughout, they were lovely to communicate with, and the sheep and hens were fun to look after. 
We totally recommend house-sitting here, and would love the opportunity to return.

Absolutely beautiful stay and wonderful hosts. We felt at home and loved every minute of our stay.  Lolly and Luna are the most well behaved dogs and very gentle and sweet. We would highly recommend and hope to have the opportunity to return!

Leslie
We felt very much at home in Leslie's home. Prior to our stay we had spoken to Leslie at length via zoom. That was a pleasant talk! When we arrived at the house there was a clear note with further instructions. Leslie had also prepared 2 bottles of wine for us. Very nice!

Cleo and Sunny are sweet cats who need some time to get used to new people. Cleo is an enthusiastic cat who chats a lot. Sunny was more reserved and hid for the first few hours. We gave her time to come to us instead of the other way around and that helped. Both cats clearly indicate when they want to be left alone and that is fine.

Leslie's house is 5 km from the beach. We took a walk to the sea and back every day. It was enjoyable!

We would love to come back to this fine place again.

Stephen
Our favorite house sit to date!

We were very lucky to be able to get to know and look after Harry in his lovely, spacious, modern home in Carvoeiro. 

We had a fantastic handover the night before the sit and Louise and Stephen did everything to make us feel welcome. They made it easy to understand our responsibilities and they were incredibly kind. 

The house has absolutely everything you need for a great stay. It is located in a very nice neighborhood with only 15 min. walking distance to the beach, restaurants and other lovely areas to explore. 

Harry is a lovely, old gentleman and likes to sleep a lot, however he adores to be surrounded by humans too. He will often come and sit next to you or will ask to pet him (he loves a gentle tummy massage!). He is very easy to take care of, just make sure to give him attention and love :) 

Communication with the kind owners was always easy and convenient from the very start. Louise is always available for you if you have a question.

Every sitter who gets to spend time with Harry will be lucky, and surely fall in love with him as he's a charmer!

Thank you Louise and Stephen for trusting us and letting us be part of Harry's daily life, we hope to see you all again :) 

10/10 house sit!

Melissa
We really treasured our time with Coco and Minnie…Melissa and Toby have a lovely, well-appointed home, helpful friendly neighbors, and are perfectly situated at the center of several lovely villages…plenty of nearby estates and gardens to tour, and right on the rail line!  After a quick pre-departure introduction to home and cockers, including a lovely walking trail just steps from their drive, Melissa was off to join Toby. Experienced hosts on Trusted Housesitters sitters, Melissa was thorough and knew the high priority information we’d need—all helpfully compiled in their welcome guide. Beautiful home, lovely garden and deck/bbq, and a perfect spot to care for two lovely spaniels and four happy hens!  Coco and Minnie were steady companions on our daily adventures…while Minnie complained a wee bit, they seemed to even loved the many brushings that followed their daily adventures. We decided the group none for cocker spaniels must be a Chaos…and our foursome made plenty of ruckus in the bush and meadows and fields!  Great off lead, quick to return, and endlessly affectionate…this pair was a sheer delight from breakfast to bedtime snuggles. For a fair age difference between them, they brought out the best in each other…and us!  Absolutely a five star experience from start to finish. Great, experienced hosts, wonderful setting, perfect pair of beautiful dogs!  We’d love to take care of Coco and Miss Minnie anytime!

Katherine Hearn
Jenny and I really enjoyed our time house sitting in Katherine's lovely home. Everything you may need is only a short walk away in the village. Piglet and Winnie  were a delight to look after, 2 very diverse personalities
Katherine's instructions were very clear so made our stay very straight forward.
We can thoroughly recommend this sit and would be more than happy to return if the situation arose.
