The Experience

We need someone (preferably a couple) to care for our 4 cats, our puppy and our house for at least 5 weeks. This means feeding our pets, playing with them, walking our puppy and helping us with maintenance during your stay. In exchange you can stay in our Guest House with a fully equipped kitchen for the time you help us. Our home is a 15 minute away from the main square, in the center of Cusco city.

Volunteering at the guest house & the guest house's was a very pleasant experience, as I felt at home and was very well received. I was able to enjoy fun moments, good company and a cozy atmosphere. Tasks are easy and hours are flexible. Thanks for receiving me!

The guest house and the guest house are very welcoming hosts that make you feel right at home! A big part of our job was to walk the dogs and play with them (and the lovely cats as well!). The rest of the time we did tasks in the house (like painting, check-ins). the guest house and the guest house are flexible and always openminded. We slept in the inn in the middle of the city center, only a few minutes by bus from their house. This made our experience even more fun, because we got to be with other volunteers as well. If you like meeting new people and playing (board)games, this is the perfect place! Thank you once again the guest house and the guest house <3

We had a wonderful experience staying at the guest house and the guest house's home in Cusco, looking after their 6 furry creatures. They were very kind and accommodating, made sure we had everything we needed and were very thorough with the instructions for the cats and dogs individual feeding, walking and general daily routines. They have two dogs and four cats, who were all very cute, friendly and well behaved. We miss them all! Definitely would recommend this opportunity to anyone, especially if you love animals. And it's the perfect way to fully experience Cusco and all it has to offer!

It was a beautiful experience in the Inca city ♡. Even if I had to shorten my stay because I got sick, I enjoted my month with the guest house & the guest house, I got to help them putting curtains, cleaning a little bit but mostly handling the reserves and -my fav part- welcome international travelers with whom I created a nice bond too. the guest house & the guest house are understanding, compassionate and kind; even if they aren't there 24/7 whenever they come we get to gather and talk about diverse interesting topics ✨😊 Gonna come back in the future! Thanks guys!
