Pet sitting for dogs, cats and chicken in my wild country house

About this assignment

If you love simple living, wild nature, and being surrounded by animals, this opportunity is for you!
We live in a beautiful, rustic countryside setting in [Inserisci la tua città/zona]. This is a place for someone who genuinely appreciates authentic rural life without luxury, surrounded by peaceful landscapes and pure nature. If you enjoy a cozy, down-to-earth lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle, you will feel right at home here!

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

The absolute most important thing for us is that our animals are treated with gentleness, patience, and deep respect. All of our pets live together in harmony and balance.
The daily routine requires only a few hours of work per day and consists of the following:
Indoor Dogs (Piotta & Sher):
Piotta: Our older hound dog who needs lots of affection and 3 gentle walks a day.
Sher: Our young Saluki who lives with Piotta. She needs to be let outside to run freely and go wild for a bit, and then guided back inside the house.
Feeding: Both indoor dogs are fed once a day.
Outdoor Dogs (Creta, Tornio & Ezra):
Creta (our pack leader), Tornio, and Ezra live outside. They are very independent, outgoing, and affectionate.
Feeding: Fed once a day.
Cats (12 total):
3 Indoor Cats: Need free-feeding (food available at will) and their litter box cleaned/scooped daily.
9 Outdoor Cats: Fed twice a day.
6 Chickens:
Need fresh food, clean water every day, and their coop checked (plus fresh eggs for you!).

What are the good features of the property and location

Nestled along a quiet country lane just moments from a charming, semi-abandoned tiny village, our home offers breath-taking landscapes and an unbeatable position: both the sea and the mountains are just a 35-minute drive away! The nearest grocery store is a short 7 km drive, making this the perfect haven for those seeking peace, fresh air, and absolute tranquillity.
This is authentic, rustic country living at its finest—nothing fake, no luxury frills, just raw natural beauty and a pure connection with nature.
Accommodation & Facilities for Our Sitters:
Private Mobile Home: Guests will have their own cozy mobile home right next to the main house. It features two double bedrooms, a practical kitchenette, a bathroom, and a comfortable dining area.
Outdoor Relaxation: Outside, you'll find hammock chairs, cozy seating, outdoor tables to unwind, and even a small swimming pool to cool off during warm afternoons.
Main House Access: The main house—where our indoor dogs and cats live—is completely open to you as well! Feel free to use the main kitchen, the second bathroom, and of course, spend quality time giving love and care to our animals.

What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment

Rustic & Simple Life: Our home is cozy and full of charm, but it is rustic with simple amenities. It is a wonderfully peaceful sanctuary, perfect for people who enjoy a quiet, slow-paced lifestyle away from modern city luxuries.
Transportation & Getting Around: To fully enjoy your stay and get around easily, having your own car is strongly recommended. If you don't drive, you should be very confident and practical with public transport: there are only 2 buses a day stopping on the main road, about 500 meters from the house.
Ideal for Nature Lovers: This stay is best suited for individuals or couples who love peace and quiet, reading, unwinding outdoors, or taking long walks immersed in wild nature.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
