PET SIT AT AWESOME COUNTRYSIDE HOUSE
For the dates:
April 2-7
June 17-23
I need one person to help during the time I will be out of town, to take care of 6 cats, one young dog, plants in the garden and some baby trees growing up...
The house is in the countryside, in quite a remote place. The closest town is Castelmola, about 8 km far. So this Workaway offer can suit people who are ok in staying alone in a countryside location for the time i will be out. The tasks are very easy and basic: watering plants, walking the dog, feeding cats and the dog, and changing their drinking water every day. The rest of the time volunteers can enjoy their day in a natural environment, with clean air and the view of Etna just in front.
LOCATION: You can find the location on Google Maps as "Acqualorto" (Castelmola): the location is quite remote; there's no public transportation, but I can pick you up at arrival and take you to the bus/train station when you leave, there are families and couples living in the area, so usually you can meet people along the road.
HOUSE: At home there are 6 cats (Rubacuori, Joshu, Piuma, Muezza, Principessa and Pasha) who are free to go in and out, and one young dog, Kokoro. Taking care of energetic puppy Kokoro requires some patience. There are many awesome walks that you can do in the area with Kokoro, who loves walking, running and exploring: i take him for a walk twice every day, in the morning and in the evening, for at least one hour each walk. As you can see on the pictures, the property offers an amazing view on Etna, trees, a hanging chair, a hammock and plenty of peace, and at home there's an excellent and stable internet satellite connection. We use a compost toilet in the bathroom: it has no flush and requires some care and attention but it is easy to use
EXPERIENCE: This workaway is for you if you enjoy countryside's stillness, if you love spending time in nature, if you feel like you don't need social events or a lot of social interaction during your stay, and if you are willing to commit taking care of the animals as well as the place. In addition to taking care of the pets, I expect the volunteers to also contribute by helping to keep the house clean with basic tasks such as sweeping the floor, cleaning the stove and keeping the place tidy
Taormina is the most popular town around the area. A very beautiful village on the east coast of Sicily, about midway between Messina and Catania, and very popular tourist destination since the 19th century. The village is perched on a cliff overlooking the sea. Besides the ancient Greek theatre, it has many old churches, lively bars, fine restaurants, and antique shops. Taormina is approximately a forty-five minute drive away from Europe’s largest active volcano, Mount Etna.

The main benefit is the opportunity to stay for free in an area where accommodation is usually very expensive. Also, staying close to Taormina is a good opportunity to visit places near by, like Catania, Forza D'Agrò, Savoca, and spend some time on awesome beaches. Taormina is also a very interesting town from the historical and cultural viewpoint, a place where it is possible to enjoy beautiful art and architecture. The area also offers nice walks in an amazing landscape.
Arbeit
The help required from volunteers is very simple, but requires care: feeding the cats focusing on some specifications that I will give at the beginning of the stay or before, if required. And watering garden and growing plants

No pets: my cats become very upset when other cats are in the house, and since a few months there's already a young dog that i am training, therefore living all together is already a challenge. So, more pets would be a problem, and it could also be dangerous if you have a cat, who could be scared and escape.
