The Experience

We are looking for someone to stay with us and look after our two dogs, one cat, three hens and help us with our ponies occasionally. Daily duties are feeding the dogs, walking them twice a day, feeding the cat and hens and cleaning the latter out. Volunteers will either have their own large en-suite bedroom or a bedroom but will need to share the bathroom depending on who else is here.

My experience at the farm was truly unforgettable, humbling and adventurous. Tracey and Mark are wonderful hosts. Easy going, kind and generous as well as fun to hang out with.
The area where the farm is based is very beautiful, hilly and wiled. So if you like hiking, it would be perfect place for you!
The job itself is very easy, and no day is ever this same. The ponies, the cat and the dogs are very lovely and fun to be around. I have spent 82 days in Glenbuchat and thanks to Marks and Traces generosity and openness I have met so many lovely people that made my time even more fun.

Tracey and Mark are not only two of the nicest people I have ever met volunteering but that I have met in my life. Their home and property are fantastic and they have two wonderful dogs, cat, chickens and Shetland ponies. Mark is an excellent cook and there is always lots of food. I had such a great time painting and visiting their friends and the area. This is the kind of experience that volunteering is suppose to be. Don't miss the opportunity of volunteering here. The experience was wonderful.
