High-five strivers

Hi We are Mark and Pam Farmborough, early retirees, living mainly in Madrid, Spain but also having family and property in UK. We were international teachers and have worked in Chile, Spain and the United Arab Emirates. We don’t have pets but greatly enjoy their company on sits. We try to get the best reviews as we love the win win possibility of making new friends and providing an excellent professional service for our house owners. Lots of travelling means we haven’t committed to owning a pet of our own but we find we have lots of animals in our lives now! Being trusted with homes and pets is a privilege, just as working with children was also a large responsibility in our professional lives as teachers. We hope to make contact with both Home owners and pet sitters to share concerns and the rewards of being members in this diverse community.
