Needs and animals

Pet-sitting | Animals with specific needs | 2 Cats

They are both special in a way. The older cat (male) needs to eat a specific sensitive food because of a stomach inflammation, but we will provide it so nothing to take care of (apart from being careful he does not eat your food). The younger one (female) needs aerosol from time to time (1 to 2 times per week). She is very energetic and you would never tell she need medication, but sometimes she sneezes and has difficulties breathing.

House

Fully restored 3-floors apartment in the old town of Martina Franca, in a super quite neighborhood. The outside is in line with the characteristic baroque architecture of the old town, while the inside is renovated with a charming attention for the roof which is more old-fashioned. The last floor has a terrace in which we built a cage for the cats so that they can enjoy the outside.

I was incredibly fortunate to embark on a cat-sitting exchange with Emanuela and Mattia, and I must say that it was an absolute delight from start to finish. My experience with them and their charming feline companions, Bigi and Buffy, was truly unforgettable, and I already miss them dearly! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with open arms into their home, and their hospitality was impeccable. Emanuela and Mattia are not only wonderful hosts but also exceptional cat parents. Their dedication and affection towards Bigi and Buffy are reciprocated in full measure by their two adorable cats. Throughout my stay, communication with Emanuela and Mattia was exceptional. They were always readily available for any questions or concerns, and we had multiple daily exchanges to ensure everything was going smoothly. Their genuine love for their cats and their commitment to their well-being were evident in every interaction. What touched me deeply was the thoughtful gesture they made upon their return. Emanuela and Mattia pleasantly surprised me with a thoughtful gesture of appreciation, which reflected their kindness and generosity. Let me take a moment to share a bit about Bigi and Buffy. Bigi, the epitome of serenity and affection, was always there to offer a soothing presence and tender cuddles. He watched over his hyperactive little sister, Buffy, with unwavering care. Buffy, the perpetual ball of energy and playfulness, brought endless laughter to the house with her antics. Their bond is heartwarming, and it's clear that they share an unbreakable connection. As for their home, it is nothing short of magical. Nestled in the historic center of Martina Franca and spread across three floors, their house offers a glimpse into the charm of this beautiful town. The highlight, undoubtedly, is the terrace with its breathtaking views of the city—a sight you absolutely must not miss. Martina Franca's central location makes it the perfect base for exploring the entire Valle d'Itria region. In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend Emanuela and Mattia to fellow cat lovers seeking a unique and heartwarming experience. Their warmth, hospitality, and love for their cats, combined with the enchanting setting of Martina Franca, create an unforgettable cat-sitting exchange that I am truly grateful to have experienced.

I recently looked after little Buffy and BG for Emanuela. Emanuela is a delight she is fluent in English and of course Italian and her home is in the historical region in beautiful Martina Franca. Emanuela kindly picked me up and dropped me back with her lovely sister and that was greatly appreciated. Buffy and BG are delighted cats with very different personalities and after a couple of days became comfortable enough to sit in my lap. This was my first experience pet sitting and I am thrilled Emanuela gave me the opportunity and that the experience was fantastic. I would highly recommend this Emanuela, her home and her lovely kitties. Ana Walker QLD Australia
