Seeking a responsible and trustworthy sitter with a good heart and responsible head and huge love of animals. Our dogs are our family and they need treating with love and respect. We have 3 huge mastiffs so you will need to be confident and savvy around dogs, be aware that you need to always put everything away or it will get eaten, and not to mind a lot of dog slobber!
My dates are flexible, the correct sitter is more important than the dates!
Responsibilities are mainly animal care, although a bit of weeding here and there and plant watering. Dogs need cuddles, ball throwing, feeding and walking. We have other animals but workers to care for them, we keep our 11 horses at a finca nearby so you are welcome to ride them if you like.
Our location is in the spacious, beautiful, green countryside. We are 8km inland from the ocean and the tiny village of Briceno which has restaurants and bars. Canoa is a further 5km away, famous for the surf and nightlife. Buses pass our drive regularly and anyone is usually happy to give you lift in the back of their truck. Bahia is around 20 minutes away with the brand new shopping mall. and giant supermarket.
Please consider you need to adore and understand dogs. Our dogs are big and so must be able to handle giant dogs and of course the horses. We need someone calm and practical with a good manner to deal with any emergencies where an animal needs the vet or some medication.
We have tons of wildlife, great if you love it, but yes there are spiders, bats and snakes (not so many!) but not good if you are worried about them!
