    **HELP WANTED FROM 10 TO 14 AUGUST**
    Hi! I am Carla, a chilean-italian living in Vallpineda, Spain (5 min drive from Sitges), with my beautiful cat Amore. I live on the third floor of a house (independent attic). The garden and pool are shared with the landlord Martin, and a northern irish family.

    I travel quite frequently and need help taking care of Amore. Plus, there is help needed in the garden as there was a big storm during spring and we have not yet picked up all the branches that fell over. Martin will give instructions on this :)

    Amore is 4 years old, very curious and willing to explore different things. He is very cuddly, chilled and does his own thing when being outside. In the warm summer days, he likes being outside most of the time, especially during the night.

    During your stay you can get to know the amazing city of Sitges, and enjoy the nearby cities of Barcelona, Castelldefels and Villanova i la Geltru. I have an electric bicycle I can provide, and the beach is 8 mins away from the house!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Sitges it the hub for the LGBTQI+ community in Europe, so it is great place to visit. You can enjoy tapas, cava tastings, and lots of amazing restaurants.
    There are trains running to Barcelona every 15 minutes, and night bus if you are interested in visiting that city.
