About Linda & John
We are a couple who met through a mutual love of animals, as we are both actively involved in rehoming cats in Gibraltar and Southern Spain. We finally have the time and ability to travel and also relish the idea of looking after peoples treasured pets wherever that may be.

We are a couple who met through a mutual love of animals, as we are both actively involved in rehoming cats in Gibraltar and Southern Spain. We finally have the time and ability to travel and also relish the idea of looking after peoples treasured pets wherever that may be.
Both of us have grown up with animals and this has extended into a worthwhile and satisfying part of our lives, so we feel well equipped to handle any situation where the care and comfort of animals is paramount.
I have travelled extensively from an early age with family and then settled in Canada after working in France, Switzerland and the UK before relocating to Spain where I have lived for almost thirty years. Fluent in Spanish and with a good knowledge of French, I continue to have a passion for property and interior design. I had my own property maintenance business and love houses, art, fashion and creative crafts. Really anything artistic but I am also quite handy at fixing things!
John was born in the UK and has had links with Gibraltar from the late 1980s, finally settling there in 2005. He has travelled widely and as a qualified accountant and local business owner, he has a good commercial awareness, but his true love is all things food and he owned a wine business in France in his earlier years and shares my home and animal loving values. He is also a DIY addict and has renovated several houses, so between us we make an excellent team.
Based on the artistic and practical capabilities that we possess, we are both extremely house-proud and we take pride in our stylish homes. Therefore we would take care of anybody's home and pets as if they were our own.
As first time house sitters, we are looking forward to a new journey that promises satisfaction from the things we love most, namely, animals, homes and trave
Why we want to house sit
We both love to travel but were unable to do so with peace of mind until we found Trusted Housesitters. We also find that we miss animal company when we are away, so here we have a perfect combination. John travelled extensively on business and stayed in many lonely hotel rooms, so the prospect of staying in a home environment with the company of animals is very appealing! We are easy going and sometimes wake up to find them at the end of our bed.
Our experience
Between us we have been around cats and dogs our whole lives. I have also been in the holidays lettings business so we are able to cope with any problem that arises, and nothing phases us. We are also good communicators. We are just starting out as sitters with Trusted Housitters, although we have taken care of pets for friends and family. We would love the opportunity to sit for you and give you peace of mind, as we are home and pet owners ourselves.

I have known Linda for around 10 years both now as a good friend and as a supporter of our charity, Spanish Stray Cats, as a volunteer, foster carer and also as a donor. She is dedicated, compassionate and also flexible so that she can step in when we need transport help with urgent cases.
Linda's knowledge and care of animals is excellent and they genuinely like to be around her. She is also immaculately clean and tidy and so your home would also be in very good hands!
Please email me if you have any specific questions at spanishstraycats@hotmail.co.uk
Kind regards
