You can check it out in FB * ingana Art Shop Boquete'My husband had a lounge-jazz bar called Zanzibar. We want to do the same in Colombia , but are just a few months here now.
We are non smokers, very clean, are respectful for any house rule. Haha... we are ( almost ) the best...
Between the 2 of us , we speak French, Dutch, English, German, Spanish , Greek and Swahili
Why we want to house sit
We like to travel,but not as ' tourists' but as ' travellers' meet people,talk with them and connect with them. We like animals very much...we live in a wonderful place, nice nature, perfect climate,mountains, beach nearby. We don't have to travel to find any of that, so we want to travel and experience the real life of the place we are visiting.
Our experience
We have since 20 years always had several dogs and cats at the same time. We had Napolitan Mastiffs, English mastiff, rottweiler, Labrador. At the moment we have one Rotweiler, a labrador, and 2 cats.
As I am a nurse, I am happy I lived in a place where they organized neutering clinics,where I participated as a volunteer.I am proud to tell that I always see very quickly if an animal is in good health, or if there is a problem, and I have learned to solve lots of problems...
We have until now no experience as a sitter with Trusted House Sitters, as we are only very recently member of it, but I have many times taken care of a friends' pack of cats (4) and their dog while they were gone for some days.

Unfortunately Katrien could not make the trip for personal reasons. At short notice her son and daughter in law stepped in. We were very grateful. They showed so much kindness to Juno, Mia and Cosmo. Thank you both so much.

Katrien has taken care of my 5 pets (4 cats and one high energy dog) for several weeks at a time when I was away on travel, and she's done a great job at it. My pets love her and I highly recommend her if you have dogs or cats to take care of.
