Hi there,
I am looking for a kind reliable genuine animal loving person/couple to move into my country house near Malaga (Alhaurin El Grande) in Spain.
You would need to take care of our four dogs & five cats,all rescues & all friendly & get along with each other really well.
The house is in a beautiful setting surrounded by orange groves. It's about a 30 minute walk to the nearest large town. I work locally as live in carer & do come home for the odd night & will call in to to see the animals sometimes. Ideally I am looking for somebody long term but initially for a months trial to see how it works out.

Help
You would be responsible for taking good care of the dogs & cats & giving them lots of love & attention. They need walking twice a day. Giving them meals & plenty of fresh water.
Also keeping the house clean & tidy & sweeping the leaves in the garden when needed. Plus keeping the dogs bedding clean & fresh.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Spanish: Intermediate
Accommodation
You will have your own private room & access to the whole house. There's a fully equipped kitchen.There's WiFi & TV with lots of English channels & movies. Large terrace great for relaxing & el fresco dining.
What else ...
This area of Andalucía is very beautiful full of white washed villages. Please take note that it is a 30 minute walk to the nearest town so is a little isolated. There's a garage 15 mins walk away where you can get basic provisions & also a couple of restaurants close by. There are local buses but they are infrequent. No car is provided, however I am most happy to come & take you shopping when needed. It would suit someone who doesnt mind being a little off the beaten track & enjoys walking or has their own car.
