The experience

Program Details

If you love to be surrounded by dogs 24/7, seeing the real life in a non-touristic area, but still close to some local attractions and beaches, we are the right place for you.

We are a great team that works hand in hand. Our top priority is the well-being of the dogs. For us, this is not just a job—it’s a life mission, and we truly enjoy it. We communicate openly and are always there for each other.

IMPORTANT:
For this project, practical experience with plastering is essential. We are looking for someone who has done this kind of work before and can work independently, with materials and the overall plan discussed together.

🌿 We will plan the project together and make sure the work is organized sensibly, taking into account the weather and the nature of the tasks.


Activities & Shift

We ask for a maximum of 25 hours of help per week. ⏰

We are flexible about how these hours are arranged and will agree on a schedule together, depending on what makes the most sense for the work. 🤝

For example, we could arrange three full working days of 8 hours each, followed by four days off. 🌴 Alternatively, we can spread the hours across more days with shorter working periods.

Plastering and painting depend on weather conditions, drying times and the different stages of the work, so we prefer to plan the schedule together rather than follow a rigid daily timetable. 🌦️

The important thing is to complete the work properly while maintaining a fair balance between project time and free time. 😊
