12) Santa Comba Dão, Portugal

A return to a rural house and pet sit in Portugal.

A forested location, where water turbines, solar panels, and a re-cycling heat system meant this house was 90% self sufficient in energy.

Ode to a dog

Plus two very energetic dogs; Scooby-doo and Hamish, plus three horses, and two outdoor cats.

 

Although with almost 20 years experience in farming, we did not usually care for horses, but we were asked to do these as they were elderly and no trouble to care for, however Monty managed to get bitten on our first day!

  1. Monty and Matty were perfect house sitters! They were very careful and loving with our animals, they kept the house tidy and clean and they didn’t mind doing the dirty work of taking the manure of the horses out of the paddock. When we came home we were surprised with a delicious soup. Very nice company as well! Thank you so much that we could leave our house without worrying, thanks to the many pictures you send us and the daily update about how things where going. I warmly recommend them!
