  • Description

    Description

    We are a recently retired couple who love nature, animals and the good life. I’m a wildlife photographer and we often travel to Africa, where I especially enjoy photographing the big cats.
    At home we have four lovely cats that need feeding several times a day, starting at 7:00 in the morning. The terraces need to be kept clean and tidy, there’s a little light garden work (mainly weeding), and the house needs regular vacuuming.
    We’re looking for one independent and reliable person who loves cats, is an early riser and is happy with a daily routine. If early mornings or looking after cats isn’t your thing, this probably isn’t the right place for you.
    We’re flexible and always happy to discuss plans that work well for everyone. Looking forward to hearing from you!
