The experience

Need someone to help me with the dogs here on the property, walking twice a day. I would also like someone to lend a hand with garden maintenance. Accommodation and meals are guaranteed in a neocolonial guest house, with 3 bedrooms and a very nice kitchen.

Program Details

Do you love the smell of wet earth and the genuine joy of a wagging tail? We are looking for volunteers who want to swap the city\'s rush for a few days of dedication to nature and to our four-legged friends.

We seek responsible, caring people who aren\'t afraid to roll up their sleeves (or into the dirt!) to help us maintain the balance and well-being of our site.

Your Activities:

• Animal Well-being: Walks, cuddling, and attention to our resident dogs.
• Plant Care: Planting, monitoring growth, watering, harvesting, etc. Help with basic maintenance of flower beds or vegetable gardens.

What we are seeking:

• Unconditional love for animals.
• Willingness to do light outdoor physical work.
• Proactivity and an observant profile.
• Prior experience with dogs and/or gardening is a plus, but the willingness to learn is the most important!

What we offer:

• Accommodation, meal support, and technical assistance.
• Direct contact with nature and quiet.
• Exchange of knowledge about organic cultivation and animal behavior.
