They would love to have pets but again it restricts them, so when they can they go to peoples places and house sit/pet sit as well as taking in the different villages. They are what you can afford people, meeting them next week so will let you know the outcome, on the telephone they seem very nice. They are retired so have the time for the pet. anyway would like the info just in case this falls through. thanks again and will keep in touch.

Hi details are as follows: Valerie and GArry Lakin, Paws2Claws, they are based in a little village close to Miranda do Corvo called Casalinho. Please can you email me and I will give you the website and email address as because I am a newbie i am not allowed to put these details on yet. They have a lovely dog border collie called Sky and a cat.

They are excellent and I am sure I remember them telling me a while ago about someone doing pet sitting who were based in Torres Vedras or close by and they said something about a new client of theirs used this retired couple before and they used to have people round at the peoples house and also used a lot of electric and they were not happy with the way their dog was looked after (an old german sheperd), not saying these are the one and the same but please be cautious. There are a lot of dodgy folk out there and I wouldn't like your dog to be in bad hands. I can highly recommend Valerie at Paws2Claws, she is fantastic they have a cat and a dog and spend a lot of time with the pets and really take care of them and we would never use anyone else now neither would our mates!

Anyway I do hope the couple you mentioned work out okay but be careful you never know with these things and we went to Valerie at Paws2Claws through a friend's recommendation so that was good. I know they are getting busy as it is nearly xmas so if you dont get sorted out email me for their details.

Best wishes for everything. Have a good Xmas. Take care.
