Staying with Myrna and Paco was a great experience that i hope to do again. It was an extremely rewarding time in which i got to help take care to loving and friendly animals and learn about the island. Of course this is volunteer WORK so obviously expect and be prepared to work hard to upkeep the animals but you have free time during the day around jobs to explore or spend quality time with animals. Myrna and Paco are lovely hosts and made me feel right at home, both extremely kind and bubbly people :)

Ich had I really nice time. I felt welcomed from the beginning. You have a car and can explore the rest of the island easily. There is plenty of time to do that. I took care of the cats and I just needed to do the feeding and cleaning in the morning and to feed them in the evening again. The rest of the day was free. The finca is pretty far from everything, but that's also kinda nice. The view over the island is beautiful. So I would definitely recommend it!

I had a very nice time at the shelter! I had a regular work routine of helping a few hours in the morning and a few in the evening, I mainly cleaned the dog and cat areas, fed them, changed the water and gave eye drops to the new kittens. I got to spend a lot of alone time which was relaxing. It's pretty far from anything but luckily they have a car you can use and you can take a bus to Los Roques and enjoy the beautiful beach in the afternoon! Myrna was very kind and is a very inspiring person who does so much for her community. I learned so much about working at an animal shelter.

I really enjoyed my stay at the casa of Myrna and Paco! They are such warm-hearted &open people so that I always felt welcomed. Even though Myrna is super busy she takes a lot of time for the volunteers and if you don't understand something she is always open to help you. She also offers you to show you the island (going to the beach or Teide). My tasks were basically taking care of the animals (cleaning and feeding) and of course- most importantly- give the animals lots of love. You'll have a lot of freetime which I mostly spend with relaxing in the sun and cuddling w the dogs. 10/10!!!
