We're a dog-friendly guesthouse in Yangyang, on Korea's surf coast, where families come to travel with their dogs instead of leaving them behind.
You'll help our small team keep the place running: cleaning rooms between guests, laundry, and tidying common areas. 4 hours a day, 4 days a week, minimum stay 1 month.
In exchange you get a bed in a shared dorm, breakfast daily, and dinner with the crew. Off shift, the surf beaches are yours.

Glamdog started in 2020 as the first dog-friendly pension brand in Korea, and we now run six locations. Yangyang is our place on the east coast, in Korea's surf capital.
We host up to four volunteers at a time, so you won't be an anonymous pair of hands. You'll work alongside two Korean staff who are here every day, and our founder comes out to train new crew at the start.
Accommodation: two shared 4-bed dormitories, one for women and one for men, each with a private bathroom. Wi-Fi, hot water and air conditioning throughout.
Meals: breakfast every morning and dinner with the crew every evening. Everyone takes a turn cooking something from their home country — no pressure, it's just how we get to know each other. Lunch is your own, and the kitchen is there for you.
Stay: minimum 1 month. If your plans change and you need to leave early, please tell us at least 2 weeks ahead so we can arrange cover.
Off shift, Yangyang is yours — surf beaches, cafes, and the coast road up to Sokcho and down to Gangneung.
Schedule
- 4 hours a day, 4 days a week — 16 hours a week in total
- One shift per day, either morning or afternoon
- Your 4 days will usually include one weekend day, since weekends are our busiest time

- Changing bed linen and towels, and doing the laundry
- Tidying the common areas inside the building
- Keeping the outdoor areas around the building neat
- During check-in and check-out, helping guests with bags and showing them around
Training and support
- Two Korean staff work alongside you every day — they'll train you and check in with you as you settle in
- They handle anything that needs Korean, so you don't need to speak it
Your free time
- Outside your 16 hours, your time is completely your own
- 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 a private bathroom
- Quiet hours in the dorm: 11 PM–8 AM
- No smoking indoors — the outdoor area only
- Our guests bring their own dogs. Please don't feed, pick up or walk a guest's dog without asking the owner first
- Alcohol is fine in moderation — please keep it respectful of guests and roommates
- Shared spaces are a shared responsibility — clean up after yourself
- Overnight visitors aren't allowed without asking us first
- During your shift you're the face of the brand, so 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
