Description
Hi I am Deborah I live and work between London and here in the Bologna countryside. We live in a large old comfortable but work in progress house with a very big garden situated in beautiful countryside. We have 4 lovely dogs , Mum Molly , Dad Jack and 2 of their kids Alfie and Futura. They are all medium sized mixtures, very affectionate and fairly well behaved when they want to be.The area is proper countryside, but easily accessible and only half an hour from the wonderful lively and culture heavy city of Bologna. There is also a really great network of friends living in the immediate area.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Apart from the nearby cities and towns , we work in a creative industry and we have many friends and neighbours from interesting cultural backgrounds. It a quite a social house too so many opportunities to meet people. We have a cool space to work in the centre of Bologna too .
Help
Myself and my partner live here but we travel fairly often to London and I go to the Marche region of Italy frequently for work.. My daughter Alyssa is also living here but also travels a lot for work. So sometimes workk would be to take care of our dog family. Some of the property and garden are in the process of improvement so help there always welcome !. For people who would be interested in gardening, decorating, diy there is plenty ! We are also very sociable having plenty of people over for dinner or a party so opportunities for meeting people and cooking are ample!

Accommodation
You will have your own bedroon and bathroom in the main house. There is a large kitchen which of course you are welcome to use .
We have a big kitchen and dining room so mostly we will have our meals together . Of course the kitchen is available to use any time for snacks or whatever, and if we are away for any mealtimes there is always a well stocked kitchen . We are mostly vegetarian but will cater for any dietry requirements we can.
What else ...
As I said we are quite a social household but we are away sometimes for work. A driving licence would be useful and we usually have a vehicle available to use, otherwise public transport is fairly near.

My animals / pets
FUTURA (4 years)
Futura is Alfies little sister . She is a bit of a princess, extremely smart and like all the others very affectionate.
ALFIE (4 years)
Alfie is a big softy . He loves everybody and is a bit dopey. It seems he has a sense of humour and like to make us laugh. The photo when he was little and liked to hang out in a bucket.
JACK (15 years)
Jack is a small to medium lurcher type ... another rescue dog he has been with us since he was a tiny puppy. He is a great character and explorer in his younger days. He is getting quite old but is still pretty fit.
MOLLY (6 years)
Molly is a rescue dog she was abandoned as a puppy with her mum and siblings, and because of covid they were kept in a small space as they were unable to move them to new homes. She was 5 months old when we eventually got her home. She is a medium size setter mix. She is the most nervy of the family, but very sweet and affectionate when you get to know her.
