We also expect your help with household chores including pet-related tasks, just like any other family member.

1 bedroom; double bed (135cm); couples preferred. Need help with, masonry, electricity, carpentry, plumbing, fixing things & landscaping. We treat you like and expect you to be a household member, socializing, walking the dogs, going on day trips, preparing meals, playing cards/board games, etc. You can explore the reservoir in our canoe and use our bicycles. We are 1 hour’s drive from closest town and closest supermarket is 30 km away across a mountain pass. There are many fascinating places to explore in a 75-km radius, from pre-Roman ruins to medieval castles, as well as iconic wineries. No public transport, so we lend you a car if you meet insurance requirements or take you places ourselves. Our dogs get along with canine visitors. So, as long as your pet is OK with other cats & dogs, we'll be delighted to welcome it.
We expect you to help us in our project up to 25 hours a week but we can agree on the best way to distribute time to accommodate for day trips or hikes. We basically expect you to be part of our family, so, if you are looking for a position in which you put in your hours and then disappear on your own, this is not the right project for you. Of course, if you have to telework while you are here, we will do our best to accommodate to your schedule. We seek proactive helpers, so please don't just sit around waiting for us to dream up tasks for you. If you see something that you feel needs doing, cleaning or fixing and you feel capable, please do let us know and we'll probably be more than happy for you to do it and give you all the assistance/means we can. We will also probably ask you to occasionally house/pet sit for one or more days.
