Needs and animals

2 Dogs | 1 Cat

We have two mixed breed dogs. Nala who will play ball all day given the chance and Iris who is generally very chilled out. After a 45 minute walk in the morning they can be left in the large front garden. The day is then pretty much your own if you want to go out and explore. Another walk in the evening is appreciated. Our cat (a stray we rescued) appears periodically and doesn’t usually require much attention. Just fresh water and biscuits each day outside.

Tourism and Leisure

If you have, or hire a car, you can visit lovely local beaches at Mazarrón, La Manga and Cartagena (all between 20-30mins).
There are buses from our town to Cartagena and Murcia city.
Cartagena, a naval city, has a stunning harbour, with beautiful buildings leading to a large shopping district with a maze of small streets. There is a tourist bus providing an insight into the history of the city and an amazing excavated Roman amphitheater with intimate museum... a must see! The evenings are great to wander through the narrow meandering streets browsing some interesting shops and absorbing the atmosphere.
Murcia city is bigger and is situated inland. There is a beautiful cathedral and a large plaza nearby to grab a coffee and watch the world go by. Depending on the time of year there are often a variety of fiestas and parades in nearby towns.

Second séjour chez Rachel (et Maya) à la suite d'un premier en Mai 2026. Rien n'a vraiment changé depuis notre première review : deux chiennes d'une sensibilité/douceur/intelligence remarquables, maison bien pensée, vaste et confortable, terrasse panoramique et soleil au RV (on est presque en Andalousie). A noter que le chat, Mistigri, est bien moins timide depuis le dernier séjour et est devenu quasi casanier. La cohabitation de Mistigri avec les 2 chiennes Nala et Iris se passe très bien ! A bientôt, on l'espère !

I just completed a fantastic stay at Rachel’s home. Nala and Iris were an absolute joy to look after! Nala full of energy and always ready for a game of ball, Iris calm and affectionate. Both are beautifully well-trained, with a reliable recall whether or not you use the whistle (which came in handy when they decided to chase rabbits across the countryside). The rescue cat was low-maintenance and sweet, appearing on her own schedule. The house itself is spacious, well-organised and very comfortable, everything you need is there. The surrounding area is deeply peaceful, with beautiful walks straight from the door and hills nearby for longer adventures. Fuente Álamo is an easy cycle ride away for anything you need. Rachel’s communication throughout was excellent! Warm, clear and trusting. You can tell immediately that she has a genuine love for her animals and takes great care to set her sitters up for success. I’d return without hesitation. Highly recommended to any sitter lucky enough to get this one. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Super séjour chez Rachel, une de nos meilleures expériences Nomador si ce n’est la meilleure : 2 chiennes exceptionnelles, d’une sensibilité et d’une gentillesse remarquables (Iris est un amour, Nala fofolle mais affectueuse), elles obéissent très bien et le rappel (avec ou sans sifflet) est excellent, surtout lorsqu’elles partent chasser les lapins dans la pampa, la maison est grande, fonctionnelle et très bien organisée et la région (très rurale) un hâvre de paix. La ville de Fuente Alamo, où l’on trouve tous les services, est à portée de vélo. Excellente communication et confiance réciproque avec Rachel, véritable amoureuse des chiens. Séjour 5*
