  Description

  We're a couple both working in creative fields (sound designer and photographer). Sometimes we're looking for petsitters and sometimes for help around the house (painting, cleaning, light repairs, etc.).
  We're not always around as we travel ourselves, so last minute requests usually works better for us!

  Types of help and learning opportunities

  Gardening

  DIY and building projects
• 

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  The house is just a couple steps away from the beach. From there, you can spot flamingos and many other birds, and have access to many nature trails! It's a very quiet area, and yet just a couple of minutes drive from the city of Olhao, and about 20 minutes drive from Faro. Algarve is a beautiful region with lots of nature and beautiful hikes/exploring to do!

  Help

  We are looking for a couple or two friends (guys) to help on a field, from *** SEPT 7th - SEPT 21st. ***
  > If you're not available at these dates specifically, please do not contact us - this is our only slot for 2025.
  
  Dario and Elo (us on the pictures hehe), and the dogs, will not be there - you will have the house to yourself and help on the field 5 minutes away with Elo's parents.
  
  They need help to prepare it for construction, so your help will consist of things like:
  - removing branches
  - cutting tall grass
  - evening out the land
  - moving rocks
  Most of the times they will be there as well, guiding and helping with what needs to be done.
  
  In the house, we will also ask small maintenance tasks and to keep the space and the pool clean.

  Accommodation

  It's a modern house with a private swimming pool, just a couple of meters away from the beach. It has a big terrace downstairs, open on the kitchen and swimming pool, as well as a rooftop terrace, ideal for daily yoga/sports if you're into that!
  You will have your own bedroom and bathroom.
  
  There is a bus stop on the main road (N125) about 10 minutes away walking, and we will also lend you 2 bikes (easiest way to go to and from the field).

  What else ...

  We're looking for people who are in shape and not afraid of physical work, and that will be respectful of our home.

  My animals / pets

  

  Juanito (2 years)

  Juanito (male) is 3 years old. He was found in south of Spain as a stray dogs at 3 months old, and has joined our family since. He's clumsy, funny, expressive and very cuddly. At the same time he's quite independent, he can play by himself or will sometimes just go take a nap somewhere calm, or go sniff a good wiff of salty air on the terrace. He sometimes gets afraid of other dogs or humans, but once he understands there's no danger, he loves to play with them!
  But most importantly... He has a tendency to steal everyone's (hihi!).
  

  

  Zora (10 years)

  Zora (female) is 10 years old. She's very well educated, with strong observation skills and somehow it's quite easy to read emotions of her face. She doesn't care much for other dogs, but she loves to play with a ball, frisbee or a stick! She's a little barky as a way to get attention and gets a little jealous of other dog(s)/humans playing or having fun without her!
