Description
We are looking for a Workawayer to help us with our pets, around the house and companionship for my husband.
My husband and I live in a house on the shore of Vico lake, 1 hour north of Rome.
We have a small dog and a cat. I work for a tour company and my husband is retired. He will enjoy some company when I have to go to Rome for work. Luna, our dog, is very affectionate and enjoy walking to stay in good shape.The help needed is mostly on the weekend and few hours in the morning and evening, during the week. Some gardening and works around the house may be needed. In summer you can enjoy swimming at the lake, all year hiking in this natural reserve - or visit the surroundings. We also have a mounting bike and a kayak. If you like sports and nature this is a great place!
WE DO NOT GIVE THE RESIDENCY IN OUR HOUSE FOR THOSE REQUESTING ITALIAN CITIZENSHIP. -
