  Hi! My name is Stella. I live with my senior rescue dog in a beautiful two bedroom apartment in Lagos, Portugal. The place has a large south-facing balcony to enjoy the afternoon sun and it sits within a 20 minute walk to supermarkets, a number of beaches and the most beautiful hikes along the coast. I keep my home tidy, clean and peaceful.
  
  My 14 year old dog Jeitosa had lived in a shelter most of her life before I took her in about 2 years ago. She's incredibly gentle, calm, obedient and has the kindest soul. She's shy with strangers and avoids other dogs, but enjoys a good sniff in the grass, a snack and a snooze. She´s a soft soul and needs someone kind and patient to keep her company while I travel.

  Arbeit

  You´ll have to get up early with her as she is used to an early schedule (she has to poop early, there you go :D). You´ll be responsible for her walks, her feeding schedule and make sure she gets the love and attention she had missed most of her life. Given she´s a senior, she can't join you on large adventures, but she will happily accompany you to the beach, sunsets and daily walks. I trust that you recognize her needs and limitations and won´t get impatient with her.
  Besides caring for the dog I´d much appreciate if you took care of the household and kept the place tidy.

  Unterkunft

  You'll stay in my guest room (two single beds) and will be able to enjoy the entire apartment with kitchen, living area, bathroom and a large balcony. There's an elevator so neither you nor the dog will have to climb stairs. My place is tidy, clean and quiet - and I'much like to find it this way when I return.
  You´ll be living in a Portuguese neighborhood with cafés and shops around, but English is well spoken and understood.

  My dog is a senior and requires someone to be present with her. She has to go outside regularly every 4ish hours (during the day only) and needs small meals every 3 hours as she's hypoglycemic. Lots of snacks keep her in excellent spirits. She's used to an early schedule and has to go outside first thing between 7 and 8am. Her walks are short and she is mostly slow, but she needs the enrichment nonetheless - I'd love if you had the patience to take her for sniffs in the grass and could support her pace.
  
  As I work from home and spend a lot of time with her, I'd wanna make sure that she won't be left alone too much. Of course you're encouraged to enjoy the beach and go for nice food, but the majority of the day I'd like to know her in caring hands.
  
  As you'll be able to enjoy my home, I expect there won't be any visitors, no parties or disturbances for my neighbors and that I'll find the place as tidy as I left it.
  
  All in all, I´d like to find someone who wants to spend some peaceful time with a sweet and gentle dog, enjoy some nice walks and Portuguese food and doesn´t struggle making her well-being their priority.

  Kann Digital Nomads unterbringen

  Digital nomads will find a generous space to work, wireless internet and a beautiful balcony to enjoy the afternoon sun. I'd love it you could spend your work day at home with Tosi so she won't be on her own too much.
