Dog care in Tenerife
The experience
I have a beautiful property located in a forest and mountain setting in the north of Tenerife, at almost 900 meters above sea level. It is a quiet place, surrounded by nature and perfect for those who enjoy simple living, animals and rural spaces.
For personal reasons I can't be at the property every day; I am looking for a couple who can spend time with my two friendly dogs, at least two hours a day.

Program Details
For personal reasons I cannot be at the finca every day, so I am preferably looking for a couple who want to stay for several months and take care of some simple tasks in exchange for accommodation.
In return I can offer a two-bedroom standalone cabin, equipped with heating, a kitchen and a dry bathroom. It is a simple but comfortable accommodation, designed for people who enjoy living close to nature.
It is important to take the climate into account. Although we are in Tenerife, the finca is located at almost 900 meters above sea level, so the climate is very different from that of the coastal areas. The nights can be cool, humid and even cold during certain times of the year. Therefore we are looking for people who truly enjoy mountain weather and living in a natural environment.
At the same time, Tenerife allows a complete climate change in very little time. In about 30 minutes by car you can reach Costa Adeje and the southern beach areas of the island, where the climate is much warmer and sunnier.
There is a bus stop near the finca, but public transport is not very frequent, so we recommend having a car or renting one. Vehicle rental in Tenerife is usually relatively affordable with the companies Cicar and Autoreisen
I am looking for responsible, calm and respectful people who enjoy animals and understand that dogs are an important part of this experience. For me it is especially important to find someone who not only feeds them but also wants to spend time with them and keep them company.
The ideal stay would be for several months, so it may be particularly interesting for couples who work online.
Activities & Shift
Feeding and walking the dogs once a day, taking care of the finca and watering when necessary.
Rules
No other people may be brought to the finca without permission, fires are not allowed.
