Description
Hello :)
I'm Paola and I live in a countryhouse in Sicily in the slopes of mount Etna. I work as a tour guide and I'm often out for work reason. I also love to travel so anytime I have to be away I need help to care for my house and pets.
I live with 3 dogs:
- Foglia is the elder she's about 16years old but really fit and independent. She loves cuddles and rest on sofas. She's a little deaf but her nose still works perfectly
- Pinuccia is a mix of a dachsund, she's a little bit shy but very sweet and adventurous, she loves to go on solo exploration but also to play and cuddle as soon as she get a little confident with new people
- Nino is the new member of the family, he should be the "guard dog" cause hes quite big but he's actually a sweetheart who always looks for cuddles and food
There are also 3 cats:
- Turi the grey is very independent and sometimes can disappear even for a couple of days. He's a very good hunter and often brings "gifts" (aka dead mice) in the house
- Saretto is a black cat with a strong personality, sweet and cuddly but also quite catty. Better to feed him on time otherwise he starts to makes troubles like throwing random objects on the floor from furnitures
- Micetta is the diva of the house, a young birmanian with a strong personality. She's curious, friendly and very cuddly
I share the property with nice neighbors, there's often friends around and a nice garden. Train station is 15min away by car and the closest little town is 20min away by walking.
I've studied theater and performing art. I'm a nature lover, I love to cook and in my freetime I like to party with friends, read, watch movies and do cultural activities.
