  Description

  =========
  If you are available, we generally need dogs sitter every winter from 1st of November to mid of March.
  =========
  
  
  We (my husband and I) are a B&B offering surfing and yoga, located in the south of Sicily, in the small village of Santa Maria del Focallo. This is a quiet beach town during summer months that lies on the back of a 15-kilometer long dune beach.
  
  We love animals and we have three lovely dogs and several very independent cats.
  
  We need dogsitters when The B&B is closed for the winter. Therefore during this period we offer workawayers room, board, use of car etc and nominative payment.

  Help

  We are a B&B and at the moment we are close down for the winter break and we need a couple to take care of our two beautiful dogs and our very independent cats (around 8! ;)
  
  Our dog sitter for 3 years moved forward and now we need a new couple to take care of our dogs.
  
  
  Our pets:
  The eldest dog, Manera was found by Ettore at the beach a week later. On a warm afternoon Ettore was walking with Flash (his husky who passed away in 2017) when Flash disappeared behind the dunes. After a while he came back with a super cute black puppy and brought him to Ettore with his approval!
  Manera is super active and loves to give kisses (just bring your nose close to his mouth if you are up for a slurp!).
  
  The last but not least of our dogs is Coco, and this time she found us and we fell in love with her at first sight! she recently got an operation and she needs love and attention ;)
  We've got also several cats around the house - just to name a few: Cip, Zombie, the blind little girl that loves play around with the dogs, Zorro and Parvati and the smaller one Olivia (actually the cutest one ;) - cats generally come to visit us and they became part of our lovely family and we started taking care of them!
  
  Your mainly tasks will be taking our dogs for a walk (generally twice a day) and help around the house to keep it.
  
  Our place is located in the south of Sicily, in the small village of Santa Maria del Focallo. This is a quiet beach town during summer months that lies on the back of a 15-kilometer long dune beach. During winter, it becomes an isolated place that's why we prefer a couple instead of a single person.
  You'll also have a car available to go around and visit the surrounding area and room and board are included.
  
  We are looking forward to receive your application and talk with you via phone call or whatsapp before confirm your application ;)
