The experience

We have cats, dogs, and chickens that need care, so I need people to feed them and give attention to our dear ones, as well as to clean the areas they occupy. There are 3 dogs, 2 cats, and about 20-odd chickens, and to take care of this whole crew, we need someone dedicated, who loves animals and, at the same time, isn't afraid to give them a talking-to - we're with our shepherd in training.

Program Details

The day starts early with the chickens, so at 7 a.m. it's necessary to throw food into the chicken coop. After that, it's time to feed the dogs. At 10/11 a.m., you need to open the chicken coop for the chickens to roam. At around 6 p.m., it's time to feed the dogs again. After that, the chickens should all be back inside the coop, so you need to close the coop. Keeping the coop and the porch clean is also part of the routine.


Activities & Shift

From 7 to 9 and then from 16 to 18 (we can be a little flexible in the afternoon)


Rules

We live in a seasonal chalet accommodation space, so it's important to keep polite, keep quiet from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. and have direct communication with people on site - daughters and collaborators.
