    Description

    My name is Alessandra and I work at sea so I spent minimum 2 months per year away from my home. I recently moved to a single house with 7000m² of land around and I need help with my furry friends while I am away. The house is not far to the train station and shops are roughly 1.5 km away.
    Rome is 50 minutes driving from here and around there are nice places to visit.
    The house is a quiet place while my pets are quit different between each other. Possibly shy at first, once they open up then they are pure joy.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    During summer there are lots of events going on around.
    While I am away you are welcome to enjoy the garden and the vegetable garden and relax like if you are in your home. There's no need to stay the entire day at home as well as walking the dogs every day but for sure they need to be fed every day.

  • Help

    Help

    I would like someone looking after my pets (for now just two rescued dogs and some strays cats who are not strays anymore) while I am away for work, feeding them and perhaps walking them outside of the property at least once a day.
    I am also looking for help with the garden and the olive trees but this will be in specific periods of the year.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    There are plenty of hikes and attractions around, from natural hotspring to lakes, woods, to typical villages, arts and historic places. Train and buses run daily to Rome or Viterbo.
    There are not many rules if not to be tidy communal areas, trying to be regular with feeding the pets and be respectful for the environment.

    Profile photo of Salvia

    Salvia

    Salvia was adopted on the 24th of October 2025 from a dog pond. She has spent her entire life into that place between very cold winters and extremely hot days in summer. She's shy at first but she loves food therefore she is easily corruptible. She looks like a cross with a German Shepherd, medium size. She doesn't like men too much and other dogs.

This image shows a charming country house with closed shutters, a tiled roof, lush green garden, trees, outdoor chairs, and plenty of sunlight creating a serene atmosphere.

This cozy bedroom features a slanted wooden ceiling, double bed with white bedding, yellow door, open window with lace curtains, wall decor, and warm, rustic ambiance.
