House sitting, farm sitting, pet sitting, plant sitting - I'd love rural and urban opportunities; even pure solitude or busy cities.

Descrição

Hello, thank you for exploring my profile. 🌿🌳

**I'm looking for pet sitting / house sitting / farm sitting - I'm available from a few days up to 2 weeks in 2025, possibly even last minute, anywhere in Spain (city, town, rural or isolated, mainland or on the Spanish islands. I live permanently in Asturias, Spain).**

Being an animal and land guardian myself, in a rural mountainous area of Asturias Spain, I know how stressful it can be to find someone trustworthy that also has animal care experience. And, also someone who has the confidence to stay alone in your home whilst you're away. I hope I can be that person for you.🌲

I've studied a BTEC National Diploma in Animal Care, a BSc Hons in Wildlife Conservation, and have tonnes of work experience in those fields too. I've worked as a wildlife conservationist and in Nature connection for 23-years.🌾

I've looked after ALL kinds of animals over my lifetime, for myself and other people, including: dogs, cows, cats, axolotls, horses, chickens, geese, ducks, donkeys, lizards, fish, amphibians, goats, sheep, snakes, insects like tarantulas, small mammals etc. and wildlife in rehabilitation. I also used to work as a licensed bat surveyor and cared for injured bats when I worked in ecology roles in the UK. In my youth, I worked on a dairy farm with 55 milking cows, in pet stores and at rescues too. I also cared for unwanted exotic pets. 🐮

I'm 42 and married to my Spanish husband, he's from Asturias - we've been together for 17-years; we lived in Leeds city centre for 10-years before moving here. Once we settled into his ancestral lands eight years ago, a month later our Carea Leones dog Bowie arrived (My husband will stay at home with Bowie when I help you out - I travel alone). We're surrounded by plenty of wildlife and have no children. Our little cottage is in a village of just 15 people at the near top of a mountain, and we have an even more isolated stone cabin in the middle of the mountains.🐺

I'm used to living off-grid and staying in very basic conditions. A private bedroom/sleeping area is imperative for me. Although I'm not vegetarian I will absolutely 100% respect and live by the rules in your home and eat only vegetarian or vegan food, if preferred. And any other rules I must follow - I will.🤗

I'd love to help out if I'm right for you and you're right for me. 😊
Thank you,
Leah

A private bedroom is required, and I'd rather not stay in a home where people smoke indoors.

  Feather bedding - birds are absolutely fine - I've had chickens, cared for all kinds of birds and I look after my neighbours geese regularly!

  Dietas especiais
  No, none at all, except that Octopus are one of my favourite animals, so I refuse to eat them; plus, from a biological point of view they're pretty magical and unique so they get my full respect. 🐙 I will adapt to any dietary requests in your home.
