Description
Hi,
I’m traveling to visit my family over Christmas and urgently need to find a trusted home and animal sitter.
The dates are 14.12.23-31.12.23
You’ll enjoy the luxury of absolute privacy with no passing traffic, submerged by nature.
Walking distance to:
Beaches - 35-45 min
Supermarket - 30-35 min
Cafe/bakery - 20min
Stunning views to snowy capped mountains of Albania and over the sea/islands/coast - 10min
By car or scooter everything is just minutes.
We can talk about transport possibilities.
Bowie, the dog, is a 5 years old, well trained, 28kg bundle of love! He needs a hour walk every day, loves his neck and belly scratched, and is good company at night in the cabin. The two cats are his brothers, they cuddle, play and come with us for walks all together! They sleep outside.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Corfu is a lush green island with incredible diversity. The high tourist season (May-October) offers many alternative/spiritual festivals including an ecstatic dance festival, Agape Zoe festival and much more. The low tourist season (November-April) is an invigorating time in the nature, to be private on the beach, hike along wonderful trails, collect wild growing food (depending on the season we have wild greens, asparagus, fruit and medicinal herbs growing).
You basically get to live on a plot of land that is hidden but still close to the towns, wake up hearing the birds chirp, experience an off-grid way of life in return for a few hours work per day ;)
Help
Please get in touch if you are over the age of 25 and have experience with dog and house sitting.

What else ...
While I love being social and connected, I also appreciate my private time and need helpers to be independent. Renting a car or scooter to explore the areas is a great way to be free and experience the island in your own time. I'm a 20 minute walk from a supermarket that is open all year.
