The Experience

Looking for someone who loves animals to sit my 2 dogs and other animals on the farm while I am away. Experience with horses essential as 2 x 17hh horses in the field. It is fairly minimal despite al the animals and I am happy for you to leave for the day and take the dogs with you on adventures as long as you are back to feed the cats and horses. This is a no day off sit as I will not be present and passport details are essential.

Nice experience, got to connect with the animals and enjoyed the outdoors. The flat was very cozy and i had my own space. Also Mandy provided lunch and made sure that we had everything we needed. On the other hand sometimes the tasks were very tiring and breaks were needed but they weren't contemplated , also the farm wasn't very close to the city. Overall my time was good, but note this here you need to have a good physical condition in order to do the job right

Thanks for the review, I always said to you to take a break if you needed it and to make up the time you had had as a break. I am sorry if that got lost in communication but I did see that you went in for breaks and then worked on a little so I was unaware that this was a problem. I always asked you to let me know if there is an issue or if I can change something, it is possible that it was lost in the language difference.
