About this assignment
I am looking for a reliable, responsible, mature person or a couple who will treat my animals and my home like their own. To care for my 3 dogs, Lulu a 11 year old podenco mix, Reggie a 7 year old English Cocker Spaniel and Layla a 7 year old Maneto, 9 cats and 2 pet pigs, Papaya and Mango; September 2024 (5 weeks).
If you like nature, peace and quiet, this would be a perfect place for you.
What responsibilities are required of the house sitter
Feed dogs morning and early evening, ensure the water bowls are filled.
Fill cat bowls when empty. The cats have access to the house via a cat flap, come and go as they please.
There is a large fenced area around the house where the dogs can run - Reggie loves to play with his ball, Lulu and Layla are very chilled.
The pigs also live within the fenced area, they are very friendly, enjoy being brushed and a belly rub. They need to be fed 2 times a day and their water supply needs to be kept topped up.
No medication required for any of them.
Water garden and pots, also internal plants.
What are the good features of the property and location
I live in a 3 bedroomed bungalow, in a rural and very quiet setting.
The bungalow is on a large plot of land with beautiful views, there is a terrace and flower garden within the fenced area.
Great if you enjoy country walks, photography, painting, reading, cycling.
You will have everything you need. I have unlimited internet, television and excellent mobile reception. A mobile grocer comes to the house late afternoon every Monday.
The pretty village, Atzeneta del Maestrat, is a 10 minute drive away, there are numerous shops, bars and banks.
It is a 40 minute drive to the Costa del Azahar, Province of Castelló - Benicàssim, Oropesa del Mar, Alcossebre, Peniscola.
What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment
If you want the hustle and bustle of a busy town/city or lots of night life this is not the place for you.
You are 44km/40 minutes drive from the nearest large town, which is Castellón de la Plana.
If you love animals and want a relaxing place to stay with some interesting places to visit nearby and the beach around 45 minute drive away; if you like painting, drawing, photography and nature, you will enjoy the experience.
I would prefer you to be able to come 2 days before I go away, so the handover can be done in person and we get to meet each other as well as learning the animals names and routines and I can take you through the quirks of the house.
Can I bring my own pets?
No, sorry.

Fantastic place with loving furry friends
We've just spent five great weeks at Melanie's house. Melanie came to us in the middle of the night after we spent half an hour driving around since the GPS gave us wrong directions. She welcomed us very warmly, showed us everything and left us all nececcery instructions - also written down. She made sure we had all the informations we needed. We were also provided with contacts to some friends just in case, se we felt secured. We tought that it will be hard with so many animals around, but that wasnt the case. Layla, Lulu and Reggie are lovery dogs, they just want to be loved, want someone to play with them and they simply enjoy human company. The cats are nine, however we closely met maybe five of them - so various personalities! If you enjoy cat's company you will definetly have couple of them fighting for your lap! The pigs, Mango and Papaya are very easy to handle, very friendly and courious, they are also way much cleaner than we tought they would be. And always hungry! We were concerned if we would be able to handle pigs but again - that was very easy. The area is so beautifull, we watched spectacular lights of dawn from the tarrace every morning - with mug of coffee in hand. We reccomend to everyone who loves tranquillity, lovely animals and simple living. We are greatfull that we were choosen, thank you Melanie!
