URGENT VACANCY: Live in paradise, train a giant dog-cat and make extra income on the beach! 🐕🐱💰

Hello, free-spirited traveler! How about living in a super welcoming family home, just a 5-minute walk from Curral Beach, enjoying the best vibe of Ilhabela and still having a chance to make some money?
Our family (me and my son) is moving to the paradisiacal Bonete beach. But we have a love mission before we part with our current home: we need a volunteer with immediate availability to live in our house for a while, taking care of the space and helping us train our big dog so that he becomes the perfect travel partner, ready to go anywhere in the world stress-free! Since we are a traveling family who loves hosting and exchanging experiences, we open the doors of our sanctuary to you!

🐾 The Mission: Harmony, Love and Free Education

You will share the routine with a super calm cat and our large dog, who is a gentle, extremely loving and playful partner.
• 🐱 The dog that thinks he is a cat: He was raised by cats and acts just like them! He and the cat wake up every day cuddling and licking each other. In our old house, he even used to walk on the wall like a feline. In short: he is a young giant who has no idea how big he is!
• His social life: He is a free dog, loves going to the beach and coming back on his own. There is no resident or shopkeeper on the beach who doesn’t adore him. He has an active social life and his favorite program is going to the forró on Sundays at the beach! You will walk with a true local celebrity.
• The challenge: Because he is very protective and expressive, his barking is super loud at any street noise and he wants to defend us at all costs (
