Descrição
We currently need workaway help to animal sit from the 2-8th July, 1-6th August, 22nd August-5th September. If more than one of those dates are possible, that would be a bonus, so please say so in your message. These are the days when we are away, but there may be a possibility to stay with us a few days more if preferred.
I can take pick you up from Valencia city, and I'm happy to drive you back into the city during your stay so you can experience both Valencia, as well as our home in the surrounding countryside!
Please contact me if you're interested!
============
Hello!
We are ideally looking for dog lovers primarily, who enjoy long early morning hikes in nature to give our big dog panda some good exercise before the day gets too warm. If you enjoy gardening that would also be a huge bonus! We've also just adopted two small kittens and a terrapin that we found on a nearby street...
If you are passing through Valencia and would like to stay a few days ( ideally over a weekend), we may be able to accommodate you so feel free to contact us!
If you arrive to Valencia city and would like to experience the Valencian countryside, we could probably collect you from and take you back to the city. Depending on plans, we may also be able to spend time together, or if we´re busy or out, you can just enjoy our home and keep our big, friendly dog Panda company, and explore the countryside surrounding our home, at the foothills of the Sierra Calderona National Park. Some help in the garden is also greatly appreciated.
Longer stays are only occasionally possible (usually I add the dates at the top of this profile), a description of other tasks that you can help us with are included below.
We're Mel and Pablo, a Spanish-English family with two kids, Maia and Max, aged 8 and 9 years old, a big & very friendly dog called Panda and chickens called Corn and Dacsa (corn in valenciano).
We live in a completely off-grid Countryside home, 30 minutes from Valencia city, surrounded by orange groves and with spectacular views over the natural park Sierra Calderona mountain range.
We have a rustic home, although it has all the usual appliances, a lovely big garden, a swimming pool and a huge BBQ, all to share with a special workaway volunteer.Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
As a Spanish/English family, we're able to offer both cultures and a home life where both languages are spoken fluently. We can offer conversation in either language if you want to improve your Spanish or English, and we can show you the cultural sides of both countries like, for example, how to cook a typical Valencian paella or an English breakfast ; )

Ajuda
Apart for looking after our dog and giving her exercise, other support may include gardening and vegetable patch maintenance. If you like kids, there's always a football kick around or board game to be played!
In the summer, outdoor tasks need to be done early and/or late in the day when the sun isn't so strong, so ideally you'll be a morning person, unlike us.
Bonus skills would include developing creative tasks to bring a spark of magic to our home and garden, having real gardening knowledge (something we lack but wish we had), being able to do basic projects (and/or DIY), and enjoying speaking English to and interacting with our kids!
We may need a little help during the day maintaining the house and preparing food, but we do not expect these tasks on a regular basis.
It's really important to us that this is also a positive and fulfilling experience for the volunteer in every way possible. We will ensure that you have at least two full days free every week.Idiomas

The caravan can be used as your own personal space if we are also in the house, and there is a proper toilet for your own use outside, just next to the caravan.
If we are not at home for an evening/night, or you are also home sitting, you can use the home as if it were your own, and we will provide you with a bed inside the house.Algo mais...
There are endless things to do and see in Valencia, from the city centre and it's surrounding long coastline, to the most remote and stunning mountain hikes and refreshing river environments. Many are very close and accessible to our home. Ideally you will have a car, as the closest public transport is a 20 minute walk from the house, but if not we can also help with transport as we go to Valencia city nearly every day.
