About This House Sit

I’d like someone who is respectful and considerate. Someone who knows how to listen to Herba’s needs – she’s our cat – and give her some cuddles, as well as feeding her and making sure she’s let into the house. The window must be kept closed whenever you’re not at home, as other cats might get in. Clean Herba’s litter tray. Keep the house tidy and clean, just as you found it, and take care not to use too much water or electricity. It is a detached house with two bedrooms and all the amenities you need for day-to-day life. Surrounded by woodland and a meadow with fruit trees, it is very peaceful. Just stepping out of the house, you can go for a walk through the woods or follow the signposted trails from the village towards La Degollada – it’s all countryside – and you can also visit the Peñaflor viewpoint. The road running from Peñaflor to Candamo runs past the property; you can sometimes hear motorbikes at the weekends and the train in the distance. You’ll be in a secluded spot, although there’s another house next door that isn’t permanently occupied; however, it’s a 5-minute walk to the village, which has no amenities. If you need any sort of service, it’s a 5-minute drive, a 40-minute walk or a 15-minute cycle. There’s a hill to get to the house and the road is narrow; if you’re coming in a large van, it might be difficult, but it’s possible in a normal car. It’s tarmac-surfaced and accessible. No, sorry.
