Description
Kalimera! We are Kj and Debs and we are looking for a kind, responsible couple or 2 friends with experience of dog sitting/doggie care to look after our 8 rescue dogs and 2 chickens from April 1 for 2.5-3 weeks (the end date is flexible at the moment).
The dogs are very friendly, full of character and vary in size, type and age. We have a large fenced garden for them to run around in and a kennel area for sleeping. They also have the run of the house! The daily routine includes feeding, poo picking, ball throwing, and an evening walk for a few of the dogs as others are able to be let out on their own to exercise. During the day the dogs are very relaxed and like to chill out on the terrace but we do ask that you do not leave them on their own for more than 4 hours at a time.
Our house is located 200m from the beach in a peaceful, remote location, surrounded by olive groves and backed by the Lassithi mountains. We have 2 villages nearby (Tsoutsouros 3.5 kms, Kastri-Keratokambos 5 kms) with a couple of seasonal tavernas, coffee shops and minimarkets selling basic groceries.
This area of Crete is undiscovered and very beautiful – an ideal place for nature lovers and beachcombers! However please note that it is remote with no nightlife and no public transport. You will need a driving licence valid for Greece and we have a manual car that can be insured for you to drive during your stay.
Please contact us with any questions - we look forward to hearing from you, and hopefully welcoming you to our home and introducing you to our doggie pack very soon!
