  • Description

    Description

    At this stage we have no fixed travel plans, but there is a possibility that we will need a mature couple or two friends to come and look after our house and pets in April or May.

    We are a South African couple who live in a small coastal village called Aguas Dulces in the Rocha department of Uruguay.

    Aguas Dulces has miles of beautiful beaches and is surrounded by forests and lagunas. It is the perfect spot for nature lovers and very quiet with no night life out of season.

    We have 4 dogs and 2 cats who are important members of the family and live indoors so this position is only for animal lovers who don't mind sharing the couch with dogs and cats.

    We are looking for people to keep our pets company while we are away. As we have a small garden the 4 younger dogs need frequent walks. You can choose to walk on the beach or through the forest.

    If you enjoy gardening you can also spend some time in our small garden where we grow edible herbs, fruits and vegetables.
