Description
Hei we are looking for October to mid December for some help on our property: Dogwalks/ Garden/ House .
We bought this nice property with two old clay ruins 1998. With a lot of work and helping hands it became a nice modern country house our dream became true since 2009 we live permanently here. To our little family belongs one cat and three dogs.Also we having two resque dogs from an animal association. I'm helping them to become more social and obediant.So we always having a lot of doggies here and you should be a pet lover.
We have a small pool and a small lake where it'spossible to cool down in the hot days.
We have 60 olive trees, orange and other fruit trees that needs care. The property is one hektar big, there are beautiful terasses with flowers, palmtrees and many other different kind of trees like kork, alfaroba,... so we always need help with some garden jobs, dogwalks, art projects...
I'm a dog trainer and own a dog school and my partner is a professional photographer. -
