    Hello, I’m looking for somebody to take care of my two dogs while I’m in Europe for 2 months (November-December) and housesit my place. It’s a private house with one room and big outdoot kitchen and patio. I live 15 minutes walking distance from the beach. My dogs are active and enjoy their daily beach walks/runs and they like to play in a river. They are both rescued medium size dogs and have 3 and 4 years. One of the doggies needs daily eye drops but she’s used to recieving them and it’s very easy to do it.
    My neighbour is also my landlord, so she can give you hand explaining how things work in Palomino.
    There’s internet in the house of course, in case you work remotely as I do.

    My place is located in a cool little neighbourhood in Palomino. It's about an 8-10 minute walk to the beach. It's a really nice place to be able to get to meet locals and see what life is really like here. Enjoy the amazing nature, River, Beach and Mountain.

    Help

    I need help in the shelter with daily chores like: brooming the leafes, cooking, cleaning ( toilets, kitchen and dishes ) taking garbage out of the house, watering the garden and potentially some builiding and maintenance. It can be really dusty in dry season and we have lots of mosquitos, be prepared to get your hands dirty and sweet a lot!!!
    With the doggys: feed, help me washing them when necessary, clean their plates, pick up poppys, take them out for walks, pet and love them as much as you can!!!

    What else ...

    Palomino is all about Nature. Its located at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, an amazing sacred mountain with its snowpeaks, where you can visit indiginuos towns and see their way of life. Beautiful beach 10 minute walk from the house and 2 incredible rivers that reach the ocean making a spectacular view of sweet and salt water. Go visit The National Park Tayrona, with its beautiful beaches located 45 minutes from here. Hike the mountain and back down the river with a floater, really fun! If your looking to connect with nature and relax in the sand, while taking care of our house and The Pack, we have a place for you =)
