I'm very thankful of my time in the home, the place is very comfortable and everyone is really nice. Sidnia is very warm and welcoming. In regards of the tasks, they are things that everybody could do. Basically, flexibility and animal love is what you'll need the most if you decide to stay there.

I love my time in NY and I so thankful for this experience. Sid is a good person and she always help me to learn more things to improve my skills And I love to work with dogs, they're so cute. Sid was also very patient and understanding with my issues with my flights. Thanks for that Sid ❤️ I recommend this to everyone, this culture exchange was wonderful. And I also met other volunteers who were wonderful with me, including especially Lila and Flavia. thank you girls for helping me with everything.

Getting to know NY is a dream and this volunteer made it happen for me. In addition, I still had a private room, incredible space, food and I could prepare meals in a good space. Volunteer chores were normal housework and it was nice to help with the dogs. Sidnia is so amazing, sweet, how wonderful it has been for me every time. I am very grateful for my time here. Note: your house is about 1 hour from the Manhattan subway, I prefer to skip my days off and try the whole days!
