Beschreibung
Hi I'm Penelope, I'm British and live in the lovely green north of Spain in Asturias. I have 6 rescued cats and I currently have 6 foster cats and care for 7 village cats. I also have 4 rescued dogs. I am looking for somebody to help care for the animales and to help with work around the house and garden.
My house is walking distance to Villaviciosa (600m) and 9km from a lovely beach called Rodiles. There are good bus links from Villaviciosa to Ribadesella, Llanes, Gijon and Oviedo among others. Asturias is known for mountain trails and surfing. It really is a paradise here.
The people who have enjoyed being here in the past are people who adore animals, they love being surrounded by cats and dogs and receiving all the love and affection that they like to give people. Our house is in the process of being done up so it's a little scruffy and with all of our animals it's hard for there not be some mud and pet hairs in the house so that needs not to be a problem for you. I'm often busy working or organising animal rescue so this opportunity suits people who are happy to hang out with animals mostly.

Asturias is green and in places the mountains are only 15km from the beach, it's pretty stunning. I love meeting new people and have had lots of fun with Workawayers in the past. Sometimes people have been interested in the way I live - I try to eat healthily, feed our pets healthily. I always have lots of philosophical discussions with visitors if they're up for that!

Please note that one person left because she was expecting formal English language tuition. It's hard for me to find time to do this but I'm very very happy to speak to visitors in English whenever they like.
