Hi all. My husband, Hal and our two Rat Terriers, Gigi (15 y.o. today) and Siena (6 y.o.) moved from the US to southern Portugal last year. We used THS to travel in 2019 and early 2020 to look for a place in Europe to live full time. We came home each time and Gigi and Siena were very bonded with our sitters. So much so that while greeting me outside, Siena ran back into the house to be with the sitters! We had a good laugh about that.
Since then we have settled and purchased a flat here in Aug. 2020 and couldnāt be happier. Our fur babies love the warm sunny weather and the home we have settled into. Itās set up for future THS-ers with a guest room and many amenities so Sitters, weād love for you to please check out our profile.
Our hope is to travel around Portugal soon and to many other destinations. Until then weāll keep enjoying this new destination and all it has to offer. Beach, mountains, villages, wonderful food and gracious and kind Portuguese people.
Hi @geekista and a warm welcome to our community forum but most importantly HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIGI ā¦ 15 today!!
Thank you for a lovely introduction, it sounds as though your move to Portugal was the right move for you all. Itās lovely to hear of your previous great experiences with sitters ā¦ we all get so attached, your description of Sienaās moment is really special.
Enjoy being here o the forum and Iām sure there will be many sitter ready and eager to come and care for your fur babies when you decide to explore your new part of the world more.
Hello Chris and Hal and welcome
We are currently in Lisbon, loving every minute of it! Just arrived after staying in Quarteira in the Algarve.
We live in the Cotswolds (Oxfordshire) in England and would be more than happy to travel to Portugal and house sit for you. A beautiful country.
Also Happy Birthday Gigi
Samantha and John.
Hi Samantha,
We love Portugal as well and hope to travel north to see all that is PT.
We will definitely keep you in mind for sits. Please let me know if you canāt view our profile. I updated now that we live in PT.
Hi Samantha,
Thanks for letting me know. I will see how to fix it so you can see it. THS Support said I could āpublish or go liveā on my profile without putting in dates for sits. ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ.
We love Portugal too! The first holiday my husband and I took together was to Southern Portugal, and it was also where we took our 2 sons for their first holiday abroad.
Hi, Sometimes there are listings where the owner indicates that the dates are not firm. But I think he still has to indicate dates. I too will be watching your listing like probably many other sitters. Portugal with dogs is a beautiful promise.
But maybe it is better to wait to post your listing, 1, 2 or 3 month before.
Good luck
ā¦ 15 today!!
