  Description

  I'm Kate, 52 years young, and I wear a few hats: yoga teacher, coach, and massage therapist. My home is in the stunning Valencia countryside, about 45 minutes from the city, situated between the charming towns of Casinos and Villar del Arzobispo. I'm lucky to be surrounded by nature, with two acres of land and the mountains practically on my doorstep!
  
  As a huge dog lover, I share my home with five wonderful pups. I'm currently looking for some help with their care when I'm out in the city or traveling. I'd also appreciate a hand with the land and house whenever it's needed.
  
  My furry family includes a 15-year-old who is both blind and deaf and can't be left alone—she also has diabetes and needs insulin injections after her meals. There's also a mischievous Jack Russell-Chihuahua mix who can be a bit moody, and a Podenco who is very nervous, especially around men. Rounding out the pack are my Mastin-Shepherd mix and a sweet Labrador mix.
  
  I really need someone who adores dogs and has experience with them. Just a heads-up: when I'm not here, the older dog and the Labrador love to cozy up in bed!
  
  I’m looking for a lovely conscious woman to live with us who does not drink or smoke. We eat mainly vegetarian pescatarian healthy food. I’m very into health & fitness and do on the terrace and we walk in the forest next to the house daily!
  
  I would also be open to a couple with a caravan who want to park on my land not stay in the house to help with gardening & building a wall that fell down in darna? I also want to build a yoga deck so if you have these skills could work? but as my dog is so afraid of men they would have to not stay in house!

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  I am learning Spanish so would love a Spanish work away so we could practise speaking. I am level 2 so can speak quite a lot but I need to practise more!
  
  My area is very beautiful and near to Chulila so if you like climbing or hiking or swimming in rivers it's perfect.
  
  I am also a 15 minute drive from Lliria (small town) so you can get the metro into the city if you want to see the city. There is a market in the local villages weekly and it is very tranquil and relaxing here. We are about 45 minutes from the airport so although in the countryside still connected!
  
  I teach yoga and am very into health and fitness so every morning I practise on the terrace you are welcome to join us and my dogs like to join in with me too! they are my sweet babies.
  
  We have a lovely home in nature that we would like to share with a kind and conscious chilled person.

  Aide

  I would like help with the dogs so that I can work and attend events in the city, my little 15 year old blind and deaf dog has to come everywhere with me and not easy now hot. So i need someone to be here with her the others are quite independent but she needs lots of support. Also to be here when I go to teach yoga or hold workshops and also when I travel, I have a weekend in the Uk in July and need someone to stay with them here.
  
  I need need help with jobs in the home and I have a small car they can use if want to get groceries for us in the local village.
  
  I also need help with the land with gardening and I need to secure my fence and clearing the land. I have 70 olive trees so I would like any expertise with these and would be open to a couple staying in my caravan or parking their van on my land but my podenco is very afraid of men so they would not be able to stay in the house.

  Hébergement

  For the work away who will be pet sitting they will have a lovely room in my house. I do not eat after 6pm but they are welcome to make what they want as know this is not ideal for everyone in Spain. I am mega healthy and prefer only fish and veggie food!
  
  If a couple who want to work on the land they can have own caravan and park on the land, I do also have a caravan on the land so this is an option too for a couple to sleep.

  Possibilité d’accueillir les digital nomads

  Espace pour garer des vans

  I have 2 acres of land and my part is fenced to secure my dogs so there is lots of space for a van and I have solar so they could charge up here (but I have air conditioning on in the house so only if I have sufficient charge i may be better if self sufficient in van) They can come in and shower if they need to when arranged as my dog is very afraid of me so we need to discuss. I also have a caravan on the land with own toilet that a couple could use!
