    Description

    I’m Mike!
    Me and my sister are managing a house in northern Spain. It was our Mum’s who recently passed away leaving this beautiful little paradise with a wonderful dog and an empty house. While we are in the process of dealing with everything, we are both based in the UK and having to travel back and forth to be on “dog duty” and “house duty”. This literally consists of being there to cuddle the dog who misses mum a lot, enjoy the garden our mum spent years perfecting and spending time by the pool. We want someone with a sense of humour, someone we can feel at home with, laugh with and spend time while we are out there. The person we are looking for might have their own dog to keep ours company and be okay spending a few months out there while we are in the UK.

    We need someone to be with the dog. Someone who can enjoy the place as much as we’d like to but are unable to. We have a cleaner and a gardener but they can’t be there at night and Zowie our dog gets sad and anxious. We try to be there as much as we can but cos of our work, it can be very intermittent. Our last workaway came for a few months and she ended up staying a whole year with her frenchie. She loved the place, we loved her but now she’s met someone and moving on.
