  Description

  *** I FOUND A PETSITTER ***
  
  Hi workaway,
  
  I'm looking for a house and pet sitter from 11 Dec. till 21 Dec.
  
  I live in a finca, in the countryside near the beautiful village of Gaucín-Malaga. The house is lovely, with a large swimming pool and surrounded by mountains. No noise from neighbours, just nature and silence!
  I have a large vegetable garden, a chicken coop with 4 chickens and a nice cat.
  The house is 6 min away by car from the village where you will find a pharmacy, different supermarkets, cafés and restaurants. You are close to several natural parks with plenty of hiking routes, 35 min away from the coast and 50 min from Ronda.
  
  Besides the house and pet sitting of December I also need help in the vegetable garden and around the house in November. Let me know if you are available!
  
  IMPORTANT: you must have your own car (your own or rent one) if you come to this location!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I'm very interested in permaculture and synthropic agroforestry. I arrived in June 2025 to this house and I'm transforming it at my pace into a more sustainable and regenerative place.
  Also very interested in energetic fields and looking at ways to implement electro culture.

  Help

  For the house sitting I'd like help with the feeding of the cat, the chicken (today 4) and the vegetable garden. In the garden around the house and in the vegetable garden the irrigation is automatic; in the Summer I would appreciate if you would check on the vegetable garden, pick up ripe vegetables and fruits and notice if there is any issue with the irrigation system. Once a week the grass needs mowing.
  The swimming pool filter system is automated but does require a daily care such as fishing with a net some insects and other floating stuff from the surface and brush the walls of the pool once a week. The robot is to be dropped daily in the pool so that dust is being cleared from the bottom.
  In Autumn and Winter help is needed in planting the winter vegetables and some trees, and splitting wood for the fire place.
  
  The house is RURAL so you MUST have you own transport.
  
  Thank you
