I spent 3 wonderful weeks volunteering here. Jhonatan, Fernanda and the whole team are very kind, respectful and welcoming. I helped answer WhatsApp messages and assisted travelers with their the organization. I really enjoyed being part of the agency, meeting local people, trying delicious Guatemalan food, and getting to know the country. The place is lovely, the dogs are adorable and everyone made me feel very comfortable and welcome. I definitely recommend this experience 🇬🇹🩵

Really good location in Antigua. The volunteer work was super easy and the dogs were friendly. Also the food that they provided was tasty.

Kaisla was absolutely wonderful! She has such a calm, peaceful, and kind energy, and that really showed in the way she cared for my puppies. She was gentle, patient, attentive, and treated them with so much love. I always felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands with her. She was also respectful, responsible, and simply a lovely person to have around. Highly recommended! ❤️🐶

I stayed 2 weeks to volunteer at the nearby school and had an amazing time! The school and its teachers were incredible, including and trusting me with english lessons. I had an exceptional time and wish I could've stayed longer. School is from 7:30-12:30. Jonathan and the rest of the tour team were lovely, the exchange including a volunteer bathroom, lunch on working days and self laundry. When I went to Acatenango I was able to borrow all equipment - so nice!! There is a notebook with my volunteer and teaching notes so you know where me and future school volunteers left off. Muchas gracias!

I was staying 2 weeks and worked at reception. I felt really comfortable and respected. They trusted me with the work I was doing & even put me up the volcano 2 times as my work!!! I really enjoyed working with Paola & Fernanda :) I would recommend to have a basic Spanish level since Jonathan is the only one speaking English & you will have a better experience with the staff if you speak a bit Spanish. The only thing I would improve is that the staff room & bathroom gets cleaned once in a while by somebody. Besides that was everything perfect. I felt like a part of their little family! Gracias

One of the best volunteering experiences for me! I helped with social media and usually worked in the morning. I shared a room and bathroom with other volunteers and got breakfast and lunch. I really enjoyed sharing the meals together with Jonathan, the staff and other volunteers - it felt like a family! One of the best part for me was connecting with Jonathan, Fernanda, the rest of the staff and the other volunteers. Jonathan and Fernanda are always available if you have any questions, they're very flexible and generous! 100% recommend volunteering for the organization :)

I had the best time at the organization, I stayed for a month but extended my stay. If you're looking for a cozy place with a home feeling, this is it. All the staff is incredibly nice, especially Jonathan himself. He gave me a lot of creative space to work and also time to explore Antigua. If you like a personal, relaxed, but meaningful workspace: Would recommend 10/10

Overall, my experience here was good! The hours were totally fine and not too demanding. I had breakfast and lunch prepared by the ladies, and it was honestly some of the best food ever. They were so cool and it was a great opportunity to practice my Spanish. Staying here is a wonderful way to experience Antigua, Guatemala. Plus, Jonathan was incredibly nice and a person to talk about everything really experienced.

10/10 experience! Jonathan and the whole team was super welcoming and made sure I feel safe and comfortable my whole stay! He is such an inspiring nature and we had lots of good talks! He always looks out for his volunteers and was absolutely caring My tasks never got bored and no day looked like the other! I joined the organization and helped with organizing everything around, If you're looking for a 9-5 job this might not be the right fit, but if you're seeking adventure and fun experiences in a welcoming environment I'd highly recommend the organization 🫶🏼

Jonathan was amazing and really made sure to make everyone feel at home and comfortable. The schedule was perfect and well established, which allowed us to roam around the city in the afternoon or in the morning. The dogs were SOOO kind and well trained, it was an absolute pleasure to help and be a part of this experience. I would highly recommend this volunteering experience to anyone who wants to take care of amazing dogs and meet amazing people. Thank you for everything!

Jonathan is an incredible person, grounded, wise, and truly inspiring to listen to. He receives volunteers with so much care and presence that you instantly feel at home. And then there's Fernanda, a being of pure light and love, always ready to help, support, and uplift everyone around her. Spending these days with them, and experiencing the volcano hike, was something truly special. I'm grateful for everything we shared.
