House Sitting in Ferragudo, Algarve – Looking After a Cat Named Mishka

Image
Kate with Mishka We were happy to take care of Mishka. She was a calm cat who enjoyed spending part of her time outdoors. She loved her walks during the day and cuddling in the evenings. She liked hunting lizards outside and occasionally brought us little “gifts,” which we rescued and released. She was very talkative and enjoyed our attention. We kept the house clean and made sure the garden was regularly watered. Reference Worry-Free Pet Sitting with True Cat Whisperers Kate and Iveta were fantastic sitters. They were very organised, arrived on time, and were highly responsible. They kept me updated with just the right amount of information and photos and took excellent care of Mishi, our cat.
