About Povilas J.

35 years old | Self-employed

############
--- About Us ---
############

We are a couple: Povilas(33) and Simona(26) and we've been together for 5 years already. We are both university graduates (originally from Lithuania in Northern Europe, both speaking English fluently) working online as statistics/programming tutors for many years. We are responsible and strict on deadlines, as our profession requires it.
Both are fully vaccinated against COVID.

Currently, we have been slow-traveling over Europe since 2019. We travel by car and prefer to stay in one place for longer periods.
We have done house-sitting before, and also have rented many properties and taken care of animals. We like clean apartments, and we care for nature very much (recycling waste is preferred).

House-sitting is an opportunity for us to experience places we would not be able to visit while "just traveling". We decided to start house-sitting because:
- we are accumulating resources for buying our own property in the future.
- we haven't yet decided where we want to live/stay, where both nature and the local community would fit our needs.
- we enjoy staying with animals, but unfortunately having a pet is not feasible while traveling.


We don't have many house-sit feedbacks yet. Meanwhile, please check out our Airbnb profile for exclusively positive reviews: https://www.airbnb.com/users/show/193054080

Our hobbies: early morning walks, hiking, gardening, reading(Simona), philosophy-writing(Povilas), socializing.
Both of us are non-smokers, we don't watch TV, and we drink alcohol extremely rarely.
We enjoy quiet properties, no matter if it is a residential area in a city, a small town, or a more rural area. This is a must-have for a property.

--- Our experience with house/animals/garden ---
#####################################

- House maintenance/know-how
We used to live in a house back in Lithuania, so we know how to take care of it:
paying taxes, fixing electricity issues, fixing basic machinery issues, set-up/fixing Wifi/computers, lawn-mowing, construction work, superb googling skills for anything else :)

- Animals
Cats: took care of a sick cat in Crete, Greece. Povilas has owned a cat.
Dogs: fostered two stray dogs in Bulgaria. Also, we often help in a dogs' shelter in Lithuania, when we are at home.
Farm animals: experience with chickens and goats. No experience with bigger farm animals, but we are eager to try!
Owned rabbits, ha

Le séjour de Povilvas et Simone s'est très bien passé. Notre appartement a été rendu en parfait état

Povilas and Simona took great care of our three cats for almost a full month. They spent a lot of time playing and bonding with them so even our most skittish cat was cuddling with them whithin a few days. They were very friendly, easy to get to know and sent us frequent updates so we had a worry-free vacation and when we came back the apartment was very clean and clearly well taken care of. We highly recommend Povilas and Simona for house- and petsitting.

Nous avons été enchantés de faire votre connaissance. Nous sommes partis rassurés par votre gentillesse avec nos animaux, votre intérêt pour la région et l'environnement isolé de notre maison. Nous avons apprécié vos nouvelles malgré la distance. À notre retour, nous avons trouvé un logement propre et soigné qui montre votre sérieux et votre respect des lieux. Nous vous souhaitons de belles aventures Nomador et vous recommandons les yeux fermés. Merci

Povilas et Simona ont gardé la maison et les animaux pendant à peu près 2 mois. Nous sommes partis très confiants après deux ou trois jours avec eux. En effet, nous nous étions rendu compte qu'ils étaient très sérieux et attentifs à nos conseils. Durant notre absence, nous étions facilement en contact si besoin était. À notre retour, la maison et son environnement avaient été soignés. Nous avons pu voir les bons rapports qu'ils avaient eus avec les animaux, notamment Ika notre chienne mais aussi avec nos chèvres, nos chattes et nos lapins. En écoutant les diverses anecdotes qu'ils nous racontaient, nous avons senti qu'ils avaient été très attentifs aux animaux et qu'ils avaient fait tout par amour des animaux et pas seulement par obligation. Last but not least, nous avons vraiment apprécié leur compagnie avant et après notre voyage, leur ouverture d'esprit et leur curiosité culturelle. Le chalet où ils logeaient était tout à fait en ordre et propre quand ils sont partis. Nous recommandons vivement ce couple sérieux, responsable et très serviable. Povilas and Simona looked after the house and the animals for about 2 months. We left very confident after two or three days with them. Indeed, we realized that they were very serious and attentive to our advices. During our absence, we were easily in contact if needed. When we returned, the house and its surroundings had been cared for. We were able to see the good relationship they had with the animals, especially Ika our dog but also with our goats, our cats, our hens and our rabbits. Listening to the various anecdotes they told us, we felt that they had been very attentive to the animals and that they had done everything for the love of animals and not just out of obligation. Last but not least, we really appreciated their company before and after our trip, their openness, their politeness and their cultural curiosity. The chalet where they were staying was very tidy and clean when they left. We highly recommend this serious, responsible and very nice and helpful couple.
