    Description

    Hi! I’m 45, I’m French and I live for 20 years now in Lobres (Salobreña), an Andalusian village, at 5min (by car) from the Mediterranean sea and 1hour from Sierra Nevada. I have a big old house with terrasses, a small garden, a lot of work to do (gardening, cleaning, painting, walking dogs…) and... with a lot of pets : 2 dogs and 24 cats!
    I propose 2 options for some months of the year:

    1) during winter time, I can offer to stay in the nice flat that we have, at 10min by car from my place, with all comodities (+wifi fibra), located at 10m of the beach (!!!) and near from the town. In exchange, I would need 4 hours work a day, 4 days a week. No food included. Car or moto needed in that case.

    2) all year long, I can offer to stay with us all (my animals and I) at the house (1 spare room, 1 prívate bathroom, wifi and all comodities) and moving could be by bus, bike or walking. In that case, food is included and I would ask 2-4h work a day, 4 days a week.

    I would spend some time with the Workawayer(s) depending on what he/she/they want to see and visit around.

    In all cases I would need someone independant, responsible, and animal lover.

    The tasks to realise are:
    - Help in the garden
    - Pruning the plants
    - Doing some painting
    - Walk the dogs
    - cleaning the cats place
    - Help me with some house tasks
    - if the person knows how to do some building (tiles, concrete, plaster…) it would be also welcome.

    See you soon :)

    LOVE FOR ANIMALS REQUIERED :) !!!
    Recently I’m working a bit late and I have no time to take care enought of my pets nore of the house. I would really need some help for all of that (have a walk with the dogs, help a bit with the house and mostly gardening). Also, I’m doing some small repairs in the house and searching for someone with some knowledge about doing concrete, put tiles on walls (I would like to do some mosaic :D) and stuff like that to help me. But that’s not the main point. The garden cleaning and the pets caring would be really more important.
    I need someone independant because I’m not much home and really pets lover to give them the attention they need :)

    About the place: I would provide the full access to a nice flat near the beach (not the place where the work will be - 10min far away by car). It’s really easy to park near the flat for a car or even a caravane and to access walking. There is the village of Salobreña at 10min walking. From Salobreña, there is a lot of buses going to Granada, Málaga or farther.

    The other option is the house. You would be more included in our daily life that way 😊.

    What else ...

    If you are alergic to pets or if you don’t know if you are... it would be preferible to avoid my place. You would need to be patient and animals lover or you won’t have a good time :/... But if you are... it can be a real pleasure :)
