House-sitting in Llinars del Vallès

Needs and animals

Many plants | 2 Cats | 3 Farm animals

The most important thing for us is a house-sitter who loves animals and wants to take good care of our little family! We have two young and adorable cats called Gideon (2 years) and Petaluma (1.5 years), we also have three chickens who live happily in our big garden, Maricarmen, Flora and Fiona.

Gideon and Petaluma are indoor cats although they do spend a lot of time out on the balcony. They are both rescue cats, Gideon came to us when he was 4 months with a lot of trauma and he was very scared. He is still very shy and loves attention but it takes him a while to build confidence with new people. Petaluma came to us when she was 2 months and is much more confident with new people! She is very playful and affectionate when her energy calms down. Gideon is also much more confident since Petaluma arrived. They get along very well and both really love to play and really love the company of humans.

Our three chickens live free in the garden during the day (luckily we have very few predators here). The chickens are friendly and like people and also very autonomous. They …

Our three chickens live free in the garden during the day (luckily we have very few predators here). The chickens are friendly and like people and also very autonomous. They have a chicken run where they sleep with an automatic door that opens in the morning and closes at night. They like to be talked to and follow you around, they are very sweet.

Gideon is an anxious and shy cat, but he loves company, so as long as you don't mind that he won't jump into your lap, he will be so happy you are here.

House

The house is in a family neighborhood walking distance from the center of our town, Llinars del Vallès. It has a very big garden with beautiful trees where we have set up a hammock and a table with chairs for relaxing and listening to the birds and leaves. It is an old house that has not been renovated, with big wood windows that look out on the nearby mountains. It has central heating and an enormous sofa for a cozy winter and mosquito nets on all of the windows, as well as air conditioning to be comfortable in summer. The house is on a second floor, the first floor is a large garage and a big open room - which is useful for indoor yoga or just having an indoor space to hang laundry etc. The house has two bedrooms and two offices that we use for work. The living room and kitchen have views of the nearby mountains. It is a quiet place close to nature, but also close enough to Barcelona that it is easy to go in daily. It is a 10 minute walk to the main part of Llinars del Valles and the …

Tourism and Leisure

Many people who live in Barcelona come to this area of Baix Montseny to hike the moutains or walk or bike in the countryside and forests. The towns in the area have a lot of activities going year round, and especially in summer, so many people come to the area for vacation from the city. We are 45 minutes by train from the city center of Barcelona so it is also easy to spend the day there going to museums, out to eat, to the beach in the city, etc.

Me and my partner had an amazing stay at Inés and Alisons house. They are very kind and warm people. Alison kindly picked us up at the trainstation after our last train got cancelled😊 Gideon and Luma are so sweet. Caring for the cats and chickens was an absolute bliss! We got to enjoy nature, Barcelona and the beautiful Llinars del Vallés alongside their sweet animals! The house itself is equiped with everything you need, and located perfectly in town. Thank you so much Alison and Inés!

Nous avons été accueillies chaleureusement ,la veille par Alison avec une delicieuse tortillas et salade du jardin. Nous avons pu nous relaxer et apprécier l agreable compagnie de leurs petits protégés. Leurs 2 petits chats ,encore craintifs, puisque nous sommes restées très peu de temps , leurs cocottes rigolottes, et le regretté Petardo et son ballon de foot en plein mundial !!! La maison est agréable et, cerise sur le gâteau avec la canicule une clim , une jolie vue et un petit potager. Les accès sont très faciles et nous avons pu en profiter pour aller visiter Barcelone. Enfin la piste cyclable est toute à côté de la maison. Bref un séjour ressourçant dans notre périple catalan. Je recommande chaleureusement. Ah oui, vous recevrez un super mail bien détaillé d infos, des pros.

J'ai passé un très bon séjour chez Inès et Alison. La maison est très agréable et reposante. Les animaux sont trop choux ❤️ Nous avons pris le temps de nous connaître et de vivre ensemble. Lorsque j'allais dans le jardin les poules et Petardo la lapine étaient autour de moi pour avoir des caresses 🥰. Gideon et petaluna adorent jouer et être caressés ! Je reviendrai avec grand plaisir si l'occasion se présente. Je recommande et merci encore pour votre confiance 🥰
