About Cristina l.
Artist (painter)
**** We're going to be unavailable for some months, probably till summer 2020. You're very welcomed to read our profile and references anyway and to contact us if interested any time! ???? ****
Passionate animal lovers, energetic, happy, active, adventurous, non-smoking couple and loving all that house sitting offers. We are Cristina (53) and Pau (51) a happily married couple. Both non-smokers.
Fortunate enough to be able, as freelancers, to do our jobs wherever. I'm Norwegian and my husband is from Barcelona, where we currently live after many years living in Norway. We have no children. I'm an artist with an endless hunger of sources of inspiration while not busy with projects or studies. He's a digital marketing consultant and does most of his work remotely through internet.
We like to travel and we love animals. House sitting gives us the possibility to link these two passions. It offers the opportunity to travel and visit places that we had not thought about and share this experience with animals that require the ongoing attention and affection that is usually provided by their owners. We’ve owned pets during our lifetime and can understand the importance of animals in people’s lives and know how to enjoy their company and provide the necessary care.
We have plenty of experience with cats, dogs, farm animals and others, as we've enjoyed the company of some of them through the years at home, and also have sitted other people's pets, both at their own places and in ours. New pets seem to accept and trust us very quickly (perhaps that innate ability of animals to identify friendliness) and as we go along we better understand what owners expect of us reacting with their properties and pets. We have an understanding of the value that an owner has on their property. As nature lovers we can also look after gardens and tenderly take care for delicate indoor plants. We have better than basic house maintenance/gardening skills (lawn mowing, cutting wood, pruning, clearing snow from driveways and paths using large machinery and manual methods, etc) and have no fear in trying something new and unexpected.
Being very active and adventurous we are willing to travel anywhere in the world, willing to learn new cultures and languages. We are prolific walkers and bike riders.
Motivated to go to places that we have not been to or heard of. We can live by the ocean, in cities, rural (working and hobby) farms and remote mountain villages; in the
