  Description

  Hello :)
  I'm Paola and I live in a countryhouse in Sicily in the slopes of mount Etna. I work as a tour guide and I'm often out for work reason. I also love to travel so anytime I have to be away I need help to care for my house and pets.
  I live with 3 dogs:
  - Foglia is the elder she's about 16years old but really fit and independent. She loves cuddles and rest on sofas. She's a little deaf but her nose still works perfectly
  - Pinuccia is a mix of a dachsund, she's a little bit shy but very sweet and adventurous, she loves to go on solo exploration but also to play and cuddle as soon as she get a little confident with new people
  - Nino is the new member of the family, he should be the "guard dog" cause hes quite big but he's actually a sweetheart who always looks for cuddles and food
  There are also 3 cats:
  - Turi the grey is very independent and sometimes can disappear even for a couple of days. He's a very good hunter and often brings "gifts" (aka dead mice) in the house
  - Saretto is a black cat with a strong personality, sweet and cuddly but also quite catty. Better to feed him on time otherwise he starts to makes troubles like throwing random objects on the floor from furnitures
  - Micetta is the diva of the house, a young birmanian with a strong personality. She's curious, friendly and very cuddly
  I share the property with nice neighbors, there's often friends around and a nice garden. My neighbor is a german girl who moved to Sicily 7years ago, her family is composed by 2 horses, 2dogs and 4 cats. Our homes are by the same property so we try to live as a little community. Train station is 15min away by car and the closest little town is 20min away by walking. Catania is thee closest city and we are also pretty close to Taormina, Mount Etna and beaches.
  I've studied theater and performing art. I'm a nature lover, I love to cook and in my free time I like to party with friends, read, watch movies and do cultural activities.
