My time at The Dog House was a delight. Resi and Vince were lovely hosts, and the work was reasonable with hours being very much respected. There were a few things Iโ€™d not done before so I learned some new tricks too! Resiโ€™s cooking was always lovely and homely, and I really felt very welcomed. It was nice to be able to go on lots of scenic bike rides on afternoons/days off too, even though I was dying on those hills! Perfect place to enjoy nature and spend time with dogs. Thank you Resi and Vince for a memorable experienceโค๏ธ

We had an amazing stay with Resi and Vince! We learnt so much in such a short time and it was such a nice break from our travels to slow down and get back in touch with nature. We did tasks for 4 hours in the morning Monday - Friday and had the rest of the time to explore. So many gorgeous dogs came to stay and we were able to go on hikes, help with gardening, housekeeping tasks, feeding the farm animals and some marketing tasks. We honestly had such an amazing time, they are both great hosts and we would love to go back in the future!! Would recommend!

Had such a great time with Resi and Vinny, both such lovely and welcoming people! Can't thank them both enough for hosting us on our first Worldpackers stay, we've learnt so much from our time there and we hope to be back in the future! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to spend time in nature and surrounded by beautiful scenery and great doggos!

We had an amazing experience with Resi and Vinny. Warm and welcoming, they made us feel right at home which made it difficult for us to leave after our time with them. We enjoyed all the jobs we were tasked with and looking after the animals was great. Hopefully we will be back one day to see if the chicken coop is still standing.

I had such a great time with Resi and Vince โ€” they're so welcoming and do everything to make sure you have a great time during your stay. There wasn't a task that I didn't enjoy and the all the food was delicious - especially the orange & almond cake! If you love animals and nature this is the perfect place to volunteer! I extended my 2 week stay to 4 weeks and would have stayed longer for the baby goats!!! Thanks again Resi and Vince for such a wonderful first Worldpackers experience!! I couldn't have asked for anything more ๐Ÿฅฐ
