    Description

    Hi there,
    I'm Ector and I moved back to Italy from Spain a few years ago.
    I live in Puglia, in a trulli-house in Martina Franca, a city in Valle D'Itria not far from Ostuni, Locorotondo, Alberobello.
    As a dog trainer, I live with 4 dogs of different ages and needs. Tana, the eldest, is 16 yo, still in pretty good shape but slower and a little bit blind; Malè, the youngest -less than one year- very active and talkative, needs to move, play and interact a lot; Chica, 2 yo, very independent and polite; Otto, a big puppy of around 1 yo, the man of the group, in general pretty stuck with his boundaries when it comes to other dogs, super nice to humans but not very social with dogs out of his herd. The outdoor space here is very big and dogs spend time both inside and outside - often inside during daytime in summer because it's very hot. They have some routine in terms of food and playtime but nothing particular or difficult - I'll show you once here of course.
    I'm looking for a workawayer who is really into dogs and countrylife and could especially help with dogsitting when I'm not here together with some errands and housekeeping to be defined. You'll have your own room and a shared bathroom and a lot of outdoor space - terrace,patio, and all the woods all around where I have my campers and it happens I spend some of my time.
    The ideal guy or girl would be someone keen to follow my instructions about the dogs, very willing to take care of the house, garden and como spaces.
    If you've read so far and you found it matches your ideal experience in Puglia, let's get in touch and we'll discuss it further.
