    Looking for a pet sitter: 25–27 December 🐾

    Hi guys! I’m Petra, a Czech girl living in Siracusa, Sicily, with my two lovely animals: Athena, a seven-month-old English Setter, and my cat, Noxy.

    Every now and then, I travel for work or head back home to the Czech Republic, so I’m looking for someone who would enjoy staying at my place and taking care of them while I’m away. This means taking Athena for daily walks, feeding both animals and giving them company and affection. Athena is still a puppy with plenty of energy, so you should feel comfortable with a young, active dog!

    I live in the countryside, about a 15-minute drive from Siracusa and just seven minutes from the nearest beach, Arenella. It’s a lovely base for enjoying the sea and exploring this part of Sicily.

    Having your own car is a must, as you’ll need it to get around.

    I can welcome one person or a couple. If you love animals and would enjoy a little Sicilian countryside stay, I’d love to hear from you! 🤍
