Marianne B.

It was the perfect housesitting! Marianne greeted me very warmly, invited me to a local restaurant for dinner, showed me the village, area and she introduced me to her neighbors. Marianne is very nice and wise woman with good energy. I had two lovely dogs to care for: Bobby - older, wise and easy going, Honey, who was young and always full of energy, and a sweet cat Sasha. They were wonderful companions for me in everyday walks. The house is located in a beautiful part of Portugal, Almocageme is a unique village with very nice and helpful people. The beautiful mountains and beach are just a short walk away. There are some very good local restaurants, cafes, shops and the local market. Throughout the sit, communication with Marianne was always easy, fast and efficient. I felt completely welcome and recommend this Sit highly and would love to come back in the future. All in all, a fantastic housesitting experience! Thank you so much Marianne, Bobby, Honey, Sasha! I will miss you!

Marianne was an excellent communicator and host both leading up to and during the sit. She took her time to show us and explain everything we needed to know and to introduce us to her neighbours and the local life. Marianne even provided a lovely hand-drawn map of the area with special notes on where places were tricky to take the dogs. Marianne was extremely welcoming and made us feel at home immediately. We absolutely loved looking after Lucky, Bobby and Sasha - it was a great experience for us and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and had plenty of time to explore the beautiful area.

Loved looking after Bobby, Lucky and Sasha. Marianne was a great host, we enjoyed the house sit, hope get a chance to do again one day

I had such a great experience dog- and house- sitting for Marianne. Her two dogs are very sweet. There are some very nice walks to take them on that are very beautiful. Marianne was very kind with me and quickly became a new friend! She is very laid back and easy to communicate with! I had a great time!
