Our experience

I've lived with cats since I was 8 years old (20+ years of experience!). My family has had three long haired rescue cats over this time. Mike's grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and fish. He owned tree frogs, geckos and terrapins -

Mike and Saima dog sat for our black lab, Branston, and were excellent sitters. They looked after the house, it was spotless when we returned and they clearly bonded with Branston, who loved them! We didn’t hear a peep from them while we were away apart from the odd photo of Branston. Would definitely recommend.

About

I'm an animal lover and grew up with three rescue cats. I work as a Doula and Birth Coach in Madeira as well as doing some freelance social media work and property management. In my spare time I like to keep healthy with yoga and pilates

Why we want to house sit

We love travelling and seeing places in the way that locals do. Saima loves animals and gardening which often seem to come alongside housesitting so it's win win!! Mike enjoys the nomadic life and one bag travel, as well as the animal care.
