    Description

    I live in Teolo, near Padua, in Italy. I live in a house with a garden, two dogs and six cats. One of the cats is completely deaf (he is a white cat) so he must remain an indoor cat. All the others roam my garden and the nearby gardens. I am, as you can image, an animal lover. I'm also a Nature lover. I'm at the foot of the Colli Euganei hills but not isolated: actually I live in a small complex of six independent houses who share the little entrance road. At about 400 meters from my house you can find a lot of trekking paths, so one have the opportunity to walk a lot. Thera is an old Monastery, Abbazia di Praglia, very close to my house. There is also a cycling way exactly in front of my garden, which leads to many beautiful surrounding places by bike. The whole area is quiet and yet not isolated at all. Padua is at about 13 km and in 30/40 minutes by car or train you can reach Venice.
    My animals have all different personalities: among cats, some are more relaxed and not scared at all of humans, other are more shy and they need some time to trust humans. The deaf cat is the youngest and he is a teenager now (he is 5 months old): very wild and playful, very messy but also very sweet. My dogs are a male Spanish Greyhound (Galgo) and a female mixed breed, rescued in Morocco. They are both very good, very polite, very sweet. The female might be a little reactive when she meets other dogs on a leash. When she is free she is friendly.

    I need someone who helps with my dogs and cats while I will be on vacation next August. The job is very simple: for the cats, just give them food and affection (if they ask for it!). For the dogs, some walks and some play time (and obviously, food and ware).
