We are a couple who run a small tourism business of 3 self-contained houses on a 5.5 hectare olive quinta. Which will be closed for the duration of our time away.
We need a couple to look after our two rescue dogs and one rescue cat. The dogs, Bella, 3yrs approx (Serra Estrela mountain dog) and Misty 11yrs (schnauze/poodle cross) are great friends and exercise each other! The cat Tigger, is ginger and talkative! The dogs are not taken off the Quinta to exercise, quite happy staying where they are, as long as they are close to humans. Both dogs have gps trackers, which can be linked to the sitters s. They are not happy at being left on their own for long periods of time. None of them are on medication.
The accommodation is a one bedroom house, with upstairs sitting/dining kitchen and small balcony. Whilst downstairs is a large double bedroom, with king bed, shower room, washing machine in closet.
The quinta is tranquil and very calm with clean air. We are 500m above sea level.
The area is rural, but with a town approximately 8/10 mins drive away. It has 5 grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, cafes, local vet.
There are various museums to visit, Roman ruins.
We have two gardeners who take care of the Quinta. However, there are always some non gardening jobs that can be done.
