Glamdog Yeongheungdo is a dog-friendly stay on a quiet island near Incheon, where families come to slow down with their dogs. We're a small crew — usually just 1–2 volunteers at a time — so you won't be a number here. You'll know the guests, and you'll know their dogs.
You'll share a dorm room with the rest of the crew, with Wi-Fi and hot water. Breakfast is on us every morning, and we eat dinner together every night — our crew comes from all over, so we like everyone to take a turn cooking something from home. No pressure, it's just the best part of the day. Lunch is your own, but the kitchen is yours to use.
Off shift, the sea is a short walk away, and Seoul is only 1.5 hours off when you want the city. The island is connected to the mainland by bridge, so getting out is easy — though most people end up staying put.
Stay: minimum 1 month. If your plans change and you need to leave early, just tell us at least 2 weeks ahead so we can arrange cover.
We're looking for dog lovers who don't mind real work and want a quiet place with good people in it. 🐾
Schedule
- 4 hours a day, 4 days a week
- One shift per day: morning (10:30–14:30) or afternoon (16:00–20:00)
- Your 4 days will usually include at least one weekend day — weekends are our busiest time, so we're especially glad to hear from people happy to work them
- We agree your shift and your 3 days off with you in advance, and it can change a little depending on how bookings look that week
- Times may shift slightly on the day — we'll always tell you ahead
Main tasks
- Room turnover cleaning after check-out (your main job)
- Changing linens, and laundry: washing, drying and folding bed linen and towels
- Tidying the common areas inside the building
- Keeping the outdoor areas around the building neat
Helping our guests
- During check-in and check-out rush, you may help with light guest support — carrying bags, showing guests around, and explaining our dog-friendly amenities
- Our Korean staff handle anything that needs Korean, so don't worry about the language
You won't be on your own
- Two Korean staff are here every day — they'll show you how everything works and check in with you as you settle in
The rest
- Outside your shift, your time is completely your own — walk to the sea, head into Seoul, or just do nothing
- House language is a mix of Korean and English — a little curiosity about Korean culture and language goes a long way
- We have two dorm rooms, one for female crew and one for male crew. Each is a shared 4-bed dorm with its own bathroom and kitchen
- Quiet hours in the dorm: 10 PM–8 AM
- No smoking indoors — the outdoor smoking area only
- Our guests bring their own dogs, so please don't feed, pick up or walk a guest's dog without asking the owner first
- Alcohol is fine in moderation — after 10 PM keep it quiet out of respect for guests and roommates
- Shared spaces (dorm, kitchen) are a shared responsibility — clean up after yourself
- Overnight visitors aren't allowed without asking us first
- Let us know ahead if you need to change your shift days
- As the face of the brand during your shift, please stay friendly and professional with guests, even when it's busy
- If you break something by accident, just tell us — hiding it is the only problem
