Matt and Mafi

50, Freelance Events Manager

45, Architectural Designer

We are a very experienced, practical and reliable couple.

We've been house and pet sitting since 2013, mostly in the UK and Portugal but also in the USA and Canada.
We have enjoyed it so much that we now do it full-time!

We like being active, travelling, getting to know new places and meeting the locals.
House sitting takes us beyond the beaten track, to amazing places we probably wouldn't visit as tourists.
Our lifestyle means we sadly cannot own pets but pet sitting allows us to enjoy the company of lovely animals.

We are clean, tidy and organised non-smokers looking for sits in properties with similar characteristics.

We are conscious of the environmental impact of our travels so tend to choose sits that last at least a week.

When on a sit, we like to make ourselves useful. We are green-fingered, with a hands-on attitude and great DIY skills, so if you need some DIY work done while you are away please let us know (cost tba).

Between us, we have various proficiency levels in English, Portuguese, French, Spanish, Italian and a tiny bit of German.

Above all, we love animals and cherish every opportunity to spend time with them.

Note - We offer our services on several pet-sitting websites, where you can read further testimonials and references. Please message us for a link.

Throughout our trip they gave us updates as to how our dog was getting on and we really appreciated those updates and photos. Matt ... MORE

Matt and Mafi are the perfect housesitters. Great communication, easy going, caring, and responsible. They took excellent care of the house, our cat (Nemo), our fish, and all our plants, including sending photos of Nemo, so we could see he was having the time of his life. I was especially happy with how they cleaned the house when they left, they even defrosted my freezer (thank you soo much!). I would happily have them back again, would highly recommend them to anyone else. If I ... MORE

Mafi and Matt have been wonderful. They've given Pepper a lovely time whilst we've been away. Can't recommend them highly enough. They are so straightforward to deal with and looked after Pepper and the house beautifully. Felt great to leave them in their safe hands.
