I tried local ads in supermarkets and shops to find local pet sitters and cleaners for my home in Spain. No dice.
Then I tried some online sites.
The best response (with quite a lot of candidates and some actually qualified) and at good rates, I found via Domestiko. It is a free site.
Not sure why it gave a much better response than the others I tried (like costly FamiliaFacil).
Maybe others have more sites to recommend?
Trying to find people to hire through the local grapevine was too hard here because this is sort of a sleepy seasonal little town where Spaniards only come in summer and few foreigners are here year round like me.
It turned out that many of the few remaining locals are actually online and saw my ad.
