Lovely home in the Algarve countryside with easy going pets

Introduction

Hello I am Sarah and I have lived with my family in Portugal since 2018, before this we were in Zimbabwe. We often spend school holidays away from home so I joined this site because I don't want our pets' lives to be disrupted when we go away.

Home & location

Our home is in the beautiful Silves countryside with a view of the mountains (and from the roof you can see the sea in the distance). Sitters have access to the main house, kitchen and living area (see photos). The cottage is a self contained unit with a bedroom and bathroom. There is a swimming pool and BBQ at your disposal and a large garden to wander around. The Algarve boasts many beautiful beaches (the closest being 25 mins away), lots of restaurants, Silves town is a special place with a medieval castle and the dams and mountains in the area are stunning. Please note a lot of the amenities are in the main house, not the cottage.

Responsibilities

The animals need to be fed twice a day (except Sam the snake who I do not expect you to feed). Scampi needs a walk once a day, 30 mins is enough as although he has a lot of energy he only has three legs, in the summer this would need to be done early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid the heat. In the summer some watering is required and in the winter the dehumidifiers need emptying.
