Rebecca is such an amazing host. I had the opportunity to visit beautiful spots around Oswestry thanks to her. She's eager to do different activities to show you the surroundings. Bambi is a lovely elder dog you'll fall in love inmediately. The tasks are very easy to achieve, and the hours are very flexible. I'm very happy for chosing Rebecca's home to help her repairing around the place. I'd recommend this experience 100%!

Rebbeca es una chica muy amable y atenta. Siempre preocupada de si estaba cómoda o necesitaba algo. Bambi su perrita es muy tranquila, dulce y muy afortunada de tener alguien como Rebecca. Las tareas fueron muy diferentes por lo que se hacían muy entretenidas para mí. Fue una experiencia muy linda. 😊
