This was my first Workpackers experience so I now have a better idea of what type of things to look for. My host and I had different expectations about the level and type of work required. I was hoping to get to spend more time caring for the animals. The work needed was more about cleaning - the house and the animal area.

Thank you for your message. I’m sorry your expectations were not met. You applied for a gardening role, focused on outdoor maintenance, not animal care. After arrival, you informed me you could not perform these tasks. I also observed no natural confidence with the animals. For these reasons, I decided to end the experience early. I wish you all the best in finding a more suitable placement.

I had an amazing time with Allyson and her dogs ! She just knows how to make you feel comfortable and is a very kind person. The house is located in a very nice area and Allyson can give you lots of advice and info regarding the region ! I'll miss being there for sure and can't wait to be back again !!

The experience with Allyson was incredible!! The house is wonderful, with a great structure. The bedroom is perfect with a very comfortable bed, the kitchen is fully equipped and she makes all the equipment available for use. Some days, due to the number of animals in the house, you end up feeling a bit overwhelmed hahaha, but nothing that a job outside the house taking care of the chickens or cutting wood can't help to distract you (using headphones while working also helps hahah). My relationship with Allyson was very good, we had good conversations and exchanged personal experiences.

My experience with Allyson was beyond expectations. This is perfect for dog lovers, as you'll share spaces with over 20 dogs. She also has chickens, a rabbit, and cats, each in their own area. I helped with cleaning and creating Instagram accounts, but you can also assist with outdoor tasks as building a fence for her field around the house. Work starts at 8the guest house30 AM but is flexible, with respected hours. You can hike around the house (1-hour walk from the train station), and Allyson can give you a ride too. This train station is about 30 minutes from Bologna.

This experience volunteering with 26 dogs was life changing, and altered my perspective of life in so many ways. Allyson was the most amazing, genuine, caring, and charismatic woman I have ever met!! She is a beauitful soul, and she taught me so much. From teaching me Italian, showing me Italian movies, making me amazing Italian meals and just highlighting cultural differences— I was given ample opportunity to immerse myself in the culture. She introduced me to locals as well!! She cares so deeply for her animals— and I just loved them SO much, and taking care of them. I hope to be back ❤️
