About Joana & Martin

Martin and I are classical musicians, working mostly in Europe and since we are freelance, our jobs are very flexible. We lived in Amsterdam for a couple of years and moved back to London earlier this year (2018).
I am a Portuguese violinist: I play in small chamber groups and orchestras.
Martin is a conductor, and divides his time between conducting orchestras and doing opera. You can find out more about him from his website! martinandreconductor.com
We are lucky that our work allows us to travel a lot (which we love) and therefore to meet new people and work in different environments and languages. Between us we speak English, Portuguese, French, Italian, German and some Dutch! We both want to have a dog in the near future, but this is not possible at the moment because of our work commitments, so meanwhile we are happy to meet and take care of other people's pets!

Why we want to house sit

House sitting will give us the opportunity to do one of our favourite things - travel - and also experience different environments, and meet some new people. Also, at the moment we can't have a pet in our flat (it is not allowed in the lease) so we particularly want to enjoy the experience of being with (especially) dogs and cats as often as possible!

Our experience

As an animal lover, we have pet-sitted before, mostly dogs and cats. I especially love the company of dogs (I had my own lovely labrador for 14 years) and I also have experience with rabbits and fish. As my childhood was spent in the countryside, I'm also familiar with some farm animals, especially chickens.

    Martin and Joana looked after our two dogs recently over the Christmas period. All the arrangements we made in advance worked out and they arrived on time ready to be briefed about the house and dogs. We received photos and messages about the dogs whilst on holiday and upon return the house was in good order and it was obvious the dogs had been well looked after as well. Both Joana and Martin are delightful people and we have no hesitation in recommending them to others.
