Warm home

Its a great way to experience both the city life and nature, Derbyshire is only 30-40 minutes outside Manchester and is great for walks. My home is a friendly environment, I sometimes have Indian doctors staying with me. If you love dogs, you will certainly fall in love with Tito as he is the most affectionate and loving dog with everyone that meets him. My home is big and spacious with a large park at the back of my home its ideal for exercising Tito.

There's Just me, I work at the University with students with hidden disabilities and support them academically. I am offering accommodation only in exchange for Tito to be taken care of for when i am away for one week or two weeks at a time during the summer. Which will be a walk/exercise in the morning and the afternoon (no less than one hour each walk) he would need feeding at regular times and needs a routine. PLEASE NOTE THAT WHILST I AM AWAY YOU WOULD NEED TO BUY YOUR OWN FOOD. The bedroom is comfortable and is a double room and the wifi is excellent. I can give you advice on where to visit and where's the cheapest places to shop for food .There is plenty of places to do your food shopping .People are very friendly and although its a very multi cultural place its becoming more bohemian and arty in the levenshulme/Burnage area.Its the South side of the city and is only 3.5 miles from the city centre. Just to note that Tito occasionally has the odd seizure (not often I do use naturopathic treatment for him which I can show you when you arrive.Tito would be expected to stay in your room due to this and not be left for more than 2 to 3 hours. The communal areas will need to be kept clean by yourself, bathroom and kitchen, dining area space. I am looking at end of July/August for someone to take care of Tito. Please let me know if thats something you would be interested in.

Dianne is incredible woman, she gave me so much. I am happy to have helped her these weeks. I think we have created a true relationship, so I’m sure we keep in touch in the future!
And Tito!! I love him so much, he is a beautiful dog, he is so smart and cuddly.
I will miss both of them, but I’s sure we will meet in the future.

To stay in The Dianne's Being at Dianne's house was a great experience, Dianne is a very intelligent and very kind woman and Tito is a very beautiful dog, taking care of him is a nice experience. I was able to practice my English and Dianne was willing to show me around the city and even introduce me to her friends who are excellent people. I didn't want to leave there, I felt very comfortable.

my experience with Dianne (and Tito) was one of the best things I've experienced in my life. The space I have here is not enough to express my gratitude for having met you. It wasn't volunteering, it was the emergence of a new friendship. I will carry you in my heart forever. I hope we meet again. See you soon.

Rodrigo was one of the best volunteers I received. Nothing was ever too big a task for him. He cleared up my garden, he took great care of Tito.He painted a lot and was brilliant at cooking .
A great friendship has emerged from this experience.Also adding to this Rodrigo’s wonderful wife arrives for Xmas and cooked family and friends a beautiful Brazilian meal.
Lovely people and I truly look forward to seeing them both again in the near future.
Rodrigo was like a son to me.

Wishing a beautiful couple all the best for the future and see you in the near future
