Description
At the moment, I am living with my partner Peter and our dogs Misty and Rhonda, in Carboneras, Almeria, Spain.
Our dogs are our family and it is important to us they are comfortable with anyone staying and that anyone staying is comfortable with them.
We live in a small duplex located 200 mtrs from the sea and a couple of kilometers outside the centre of the town.
I believe staying with us would be ideal for anyone looking for a quiet place to relax. Maybe someone working on a writing project or online business.
*️*️*️What I need help with at the moment is***
I have to make a couple of brief trips over the next few months. I will need someone to stay with my dogs. Sometimes with other workaway people and sometimes on their own.
It is important that you are comfortable with dogs and also that you have a driver's license and are over 25 yrs of age in order to be covered by the car insurance, if you want to use the car.
Pets: feed, walking and general care of Misty, a 12 year old greyhound, and Rhonda and 4 year old redhead.
Misty and Rhonda are our family and it is important to us they are comfortable with anyone staying and that anyone staying is comfortable with them.
The following are daily/weekly tasks we do ourselves but would welcome a helping hand with during your stay;
housework: cleaning floors, cooking, cleaning windows, dusting, cleaning the bathroom.
Shopping & Driving. My insurance covers anyone over 25 yrs of age with a driver's license.
For heavier shops and if the Misty and/or RHonda need to visit the vet while we are not here, you will need to drive.
The car is available to you to go sightseeing etc. *️*️*️
Accommodation. You will have a small single room or double room. The bathroom is shared. You are welcome to use all areas and facilities in the house and help yourself to food.
Types of help and learning opportunities

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I am Irish, but have spent many years in Spain and embrace both cultures.
Peter is English and is a Dungeons & Dragons and Kriegsspiel.
The house is on the outskirts of a seaside town. For people who like to walk, it's not a tough walk into the town.
Help
We don't have any set length of time for visitors to stay, but we think if a week was agreed on to start and we could extend if everyone was happy. Having said that, obviously I'm open to hearing visitors' ideas.
We always have things that need doing, a lot are once off or not very regular and the others are daily things. It would be great if visitors really like the tasks we need help with. I wouldn’t like to have anyone feeling forced into doing tasks they don’t enjoy.
---Daily---
General housework. Tidying and cleaning kitchen, sweeping and washing floors, hanging clothes to dry, washing dishes....
Seeing to the dogs, feeding, walking, cleaning.
Food prep/cooking.
