    Description

    I mainly need a pet sitter to stay over at my home on the north shore, pet sitting my dog, when i travel with my daughter for 2 weeks.

    I am 47 years old, i am a local on the island of São Miguel, located on the Archipelago of the Azores.
    I have a small surf school business and i work as a tour guide as well.
    I have a 15 year old daughter that comes stay with me, alternative weeks. And a big friendly female dog, mixed breed Fila with Canne Corso, called Estrela.

    I prefer someone that has driving license, so they can drive my dog to the trails i am used to go with her.

    I need preferably someone that is used to big dogs, to stay in my homewith my dog.
    She is a big dog, but very friendly, and loves long walks in nature.
    She is trained and responds to a variety of words and commands.
    I leave my car for shopping and to take my dog into nature.
    My dog eats normal food.
    Food has to be cooked every 2or 3 days.
    Liver, cows heart, broccoli, carrots, sweetpotatoes, garlic and rice.
    Has to be cooked and put in containers inside the fridge, to give it to her once a day at sunset time, before the last walk.

    I provide coffee and tea for breaksfast.
    I will leave food supplies to help for lunch and dinners. As I will be away for the time i need pet sitting.
    I also leave my car to go for walks with my dog and for food shopping.
    Car is not to drive around the whole island. Only for walks in nature and food shopping.
