Needs and animals

Many plants | Big garden | Pool maintenance | 1 Cat

Our lovely and very talkative 13-year old cat likes to go in and out and does not tolerate cat flaps, which means you have to let him in and out, and feed and cuddle him of course! He is healthy but a bit particular with his food preferences (they change on an almost daily basis...) so patience is needed...

There are two things we'd like our housesitters to do while they're here - look after our small swimming pool and the garden.
The pool needs to be cleaned twice a week: insert the pool robot, clean the filters and do the backwash.

As for the garden, you would need to check that the automatic watering system works and maybe do some extra watering. In addition, we'd like you to make sure that all of the plants look okay and let us know if there appear to be any problems.

Additional information about these dates

Hello! We still haven't booked our tickets for our stay and could also consider leaving a few days later (21 December), but it is pretty likely we'll be back on 4 or 5 January. It would be necessary for you to arrive a day before we leave so that we can explain the house to you.

House

Beautiful detached villa with a small private swimming pool. The closest beach is 5 minutes away on foot. Good public transport connections (the direct tram to Alicante and San Juan beach) a few minutes' walk away and a supermarket just round the corner; however, we would strongly recommend that you come by car.

The house is custom-built on several levels and stairs will need to be climbed. Also, bear in mind that we do not have air-conditioning. We do have lots of fans which normally do the trick, and the house is naturally well-ventilated, but you do need to be prepared for heat.
We are eco-conscious; we have solar panels and would appreciate a careful use of electricity and water.

We've got plenty of books in EN and DE and a few in Italian and French for you to choose from!

Although the house has several bedrooms, we are looking for a maximum two housesitters. There is a large living room/kitchen with an additional bathroom adjacent to the ensuite bedroom that you will use. In the large outdoor area, there are countless terraces with parasols and thus plenty of shade.

Tourism and Leisure

El Campello is right on the beautiful Costa Blanca, a 15-minute drive from the vibrant, bubbling city of Alicante. There are plenty of beaches close by (the closest just a few minutes' walk away from the house - Playa Muchavista and Playa San Juan you can reach by tram, and there are plenty of others, such as Carabassi and Villajoyosa, just a 20-minute drive away).
You can easily visit nice and/or interesting towns such as Altea and Benidorm (both can be reached directly by tram). There is stunning mountain scenery inland, great for hikes and rock climbing (also in the shade, for example in Busot, just 15 minutes driving from here).

Groningen, Netherlands - January 2026

Knödel is a lovely, male senior! He was a great companion and I loved the quality, tranquil time we spend together. Susy and Christian are very friendly and welcoming hosts and gave a smooth tour of their lovely family & sustainable home :) The location with sea & mountains nearby is an extra plus on top of this. I can absolutely recommend this pet- and house sit. It was my first Nomador sit and a great match. It was lovely to get to know Knödel and meet them all. Thank you Susy for the opportunity and your trust! Knödel his purring is great when he installs next to you, or behind you (depending on chair or couch). He wants to curl up real close to you :) nice and warm, just as the floor heating system. His body and 'verbal' language is very clear, Knödel will let you know when he prefers this close human contact, or wants to sleep, or with meowing when he wants food or wants to go in- or outside. Knödel was easy with food also due to the precise information Susy gave me about his character and routine. In all, and following instructions, it didn't take me long to connect. He can be a bit startled before you know him, or when you wake him to too sudden. Give him his space, talk a bit, cuddle him, and you have a quick and good connection (Knödel time!). When I was in the pool area, also for winter dipping, he came looking for me. And when returning home from the very nearby beaches, or one of the hikes in the amazing variety of different mountain landscapes 15 / 20 minutes or further away by car, Knödel always greeted me, the start of good Knödel time :) Susy & Christian were very friendly and welcoming, left enough wood for their wood burner if needed (i didn't), and are super quick with replying on my daily Knödel images and questions if I had them (almost none). Their house has a super ecominded solar thermal system and view on use of water, which made me enjoy this sit even more (matches my eco footprint). It was great spending time with Knödel, and again Susy: thank you for this opportunity & your trust! Give Knödel a cuddle from me!

We enjoyed Knödel and house-sitting for our hosts! Knödel is a very friendly male cat, easy to care for, liked cuddles and didn't cause any trouble at all. He talked a lot and we had many funny conversations with him :) Our hosts - Susy, Christian and Greta are very friendly, positive, very informative and easily reachable. They provided us with plenty of room for our things and helpful information about the area and surrounding mountains. The house is spacious, full of light and greenery, and very comfortable. It is also situated in a calm neighborhood, surrounded by a lot of trees and close to various beaches. We are very grateful for the opportunity to stay there!
