  Description

  Hi! I'm Patrick (42) from the Netherlands and I live at the villa, a beautiful 2,100m² property just outside Valencia.
  
  The property consists of my own house and three guest casas that I rent out throughout the year. Together with my three dogs, eleven chickens and the large garden, there's always something to do. That's why I'm looking for one or two enthusiastic, hands-on people who would enjoy becoming part of daily life here.
  
  This isn't a hospitality job with fixed routines, nor is it just animal care. It's about helping with whatever the day brings while enjoying the relaxed outdoor lifestyle Spain has to offer.
  
  What you'll help with
  
  Every day is different, but tasks may include:
  
  Walking and caring for my three dogs.
  Feeding the chickens, refreshing their water and collecting fresh eggs.
  Gardening and landscaping projects.
  Painting and small DIY jobs.
  Helping keep the property looking beautiful.
  Assisting with guest arrivals or answering the occasional question.
  Small maintenance jobs around the casas.
  General day-to-day tasks that come with running a small rural rental business.
  
  No professional experience is needed. A positive attitude, common sense and willingness to help are much more important.
  
  What I'm looking for
  
  I'm looking for someone who:
  
  Loves dogs and animals.
  Enjoys working outdoors.
  Likes practical, hands-on work.
  Is reliable and takes initiative.
  Doesn't mind getting their hands dirty.
  Enjoys peaceful countryside living.
  Is easy-going and friendly with guests.
  
  Life at the villa
  
  There is plenty of free time to enjoy yourself. Valencia is only about 25 minutes away and there are countless villages, beaches and hiking trails nearby.
  
  I regularly go on long hikes with my dogs through the surrounding hills, and you're always welcome to join. If you enjoy nature, outdoor living and a relaxed lifestyle, you'll probably feel right at home here.
  
  I am not looking for employees. I already have a cleaning lady, a gardener and a handyman who take care of the specialist work. I'm simply looking for enthusiastic people who enjoy contributing to daily life at the villa, like being outdoors and don't mind helping wherever an extra pair of hands is needed.
  
  If that sounds like you, send me a message telling me a little about yourself, any practical skills you have and why you think you'd be a good fit.
  
  Looking forward to hearing from you!
  
  Patrick
