The Experience

I am needing some help with dog walking and occasional dog sitting from the 14th April -19th April. Tito is a beautiful dog and he is like a therapy dog (calm) I need some help with house clearing as I think I have around 6 months So it requires some lifting I need some daily cleaning of the house and maintaining the garden. I am also happy to help with English language support.

Being with Dianne and her family was an intense and enriching experience. It was my first volunteer job, and I went through situations that I will carry with me for life. Dianne's father is generous, full of great stories, and helped me a lot with the language. I connected with the whole family, everyone treated me very well; it was an incredible and enriching experience, and I was able to experience the culture of an English family up close. Grateful for everything.

Dianna's house was my very first volunteer experience! Sure, there were a few little challenges along the way, but they truly helped me grow as a person. Dianna and her father made me feel like part of the family from day one. I'm so grateful for their kindness - and for the chance to meet so many wonderful people (and a very adorable dog!) during my stay. It's amazing to realize that no matter how far apart we are in the world, families everywhere share the same little struggles, the same quirky habits, and even laugh at the same jokes. I will carry these memories with me forever!

This was the best volunteering experience that I have so far. Dianne is an amazing host, Tito is the most lovely dog ever. The accommodation is great and super well located.I have lots of fun moments there and could improve and develop new skills.

Diane was a lovely and welcoming host. She communicated what she wanted done clearly and kindly, respected hours/the days off and was willing to be flexible when needed. Her dog Tito is very cute as well. I will and have recommended Diane to other travelers I've met! Til we meet again next time <3
