    Description

    Hi! We are a couple living close to a medieval village in the countryside. We decided few years ago to leave the city and come into this green land. As we have other jobs we are looking for a person independent, responsible, and caring attitude to take care of our animals. This tasks really take few hours during the day and then you have a lot of spare time. We have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 ducks and some chickens. We are looking from now till september.
    Our village is lovely and there will be summer party in the village and also in other villages around this summer.
    Did i mentioned that we are just 1h from Rome?

    As we are going to work, it's better for you to have a car if you want to turn a little.
    Otherwise there is a bus next to our place that take you to a big village where you can find everything and also the train station to go to Rome in 1h.
    Otherwise you can exchange with international volunteers in our area and ask for a ride.
