    Description

    Hello, I am Kendall and my husband is Karl. We live in a picturesque part of the world close to Serta. We are on the edge of a village with 4,000 sq metres of land with fruit and olive trees. We have 2 dogs and a cat and love living in the countryside. There is the benefit of being really close to Serta as well as a heap of other lovely towns including Cernache do Bonjardim and Pedrogao. We are looking for an individual or a couple that can come and take care of our place as well as our dogs from the 20th February to the 24th March 2025 while we are away travelling. There will be some gardening required and if anyone is up to it we have a few dry stone walls that need cleaning up and rebuilt. Our dogs are medium sized and really lovalble, they are totally pampered and live sleep indoors.
