Help us with pet-sitting and gardening in beautiful Portete, Ecuador

  Description

  My partner and I live on the quaint Isla Portete with our cat Boots and two dogs Ace and Machete in a beautiful house overlooking a back river formed by the ocean when its tides are high! Think PLANKTONS~
  It looks like a beautiful salty lake and is perfect for swimming anytime. And in case the waves are your thing, the ocean is only a few minutes’ walk away, while Portete is known as one good surf spot!
  
  We have a lot of outdoor space and a roof terrace for Yoga, playing music, dancing… and just chilling. Our home is in a very tranquil environment and yet only 10 minutes away from the nearest village Mompiche, with cute bars, nice tiendas, village food and most importantly it being one the best surf learning spots in the world.
  
  Whoever is looking for the quiet time surrounded with lush green nature and those who enjoy cruising with a kayak through the mangroves all across the island, sunrise is your time especially to hear the howling monkeys and numerous species of birds as they arise in the mornings.
  
  Our home is a haven for animal lovers, ocean lovers and nature lovers.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We wish to host likeminded people who are sincerely human, ethical and responsible, to share with them our space and what it can offer them and bring out in them while they are taking care of it. We ourselves have gathered much experience on our journeys and are all about sharing and exchanging with people we come across. And if pets, plants and their medicine, home maintenance & roof construction, spirituality & nature do connect with you, chances are this will work out!
  Workawayers can also connect with local villagers, fishermen and surfers right on the island. Mompiche the neighboring village harbors the bars and food service and local villagers lives and vibes

  Aide

  We are looking for someone, or ideally a couple to stay at our place and taking care of our furry kids Boots (5 yrs old) Ace (7 yrs old) and Machete (4 yrs old) and also caring for our various plants and trees, housesitting and maintaining the house and property while we are away.
  
  The dogs enjoy walks, running, swimming and are very well behaved. They simply love love itself, so they will ask for lots of cuddles! Boots is semi-independent and I pray she will like you! She is the landlord and lord of us all in this family : )
  She likes her dry food fresh, I’m her personal food dispenser in limited quantities throughout the day or when she meows for it!
  
  Consider this a free vacation home on an island, in return for pet and house sitting.
  Help is minimal and we contribute to your cost of food.
