The Experience

Share my home in the countryside with my adorable pets (2 dogs and 2 cats). Just 10 minutes from the city by car, 30 minutes by bus. I need someone responsible to take care of the house, the garden and the animals in my absence; most of the time I’m at home, so coexistence and mutual respect are key. My absences are brief. Here you’ll have your own private space and lots of dog and cat affection.

This was my first experience as a volunteer and I couldn't have chosen a better place. It was a beautiful and enriching experience. The children (Mia, Toretto, Swinxy and Chucky) make everything easy: they are well-behaved, cuddly, and very affectionate. You won't feel alone for a moment 🤭
Organization and communication 10/10. Fer is always available to guide you in everything you need.
I'm leaving with a full heart ❤️

Fer, as soon as I arrived, was eager to help me understand how everything works in a new city. What I valued most was the freedom and the trust that Fer gives you from the first moment. It doesn't feel like an obligation, but like collaborating in a home where you are cared for and truly integrated. Special mention for the 'four-pawed gang' (Mia, Toretto, Swinxy and Chucky); each one has their own personality and they are, without a doubt, the soul of the house, they are super affectionate and very attached. Their walks were my favorite moments to unwind.

From the first day we felt comfortable and well received. The house chores were clear and did not require much effort. Mia and Toretto are very calm and affectionate dogs, which made everything easier; without a doubt I will miss their personality and playing with them. In addition, the environment is ideal for walking them and disconnecting a bit. Communication was always good and respectful. We had the opportunity to spend a few days with Daniel and get to know Fer's family. Excellent people, they made us feel at home even though we are far from it. A recommendable experience.

A peaceful experience, ideal for disconnecting. Mia and Toretto (the dogs) are super calm and good companions, they follow you wherever you go. The walks are one hour long and they roam freely and respond when you call them. Fer is easygoing and always making sure that we were comfortable. Our routines didn't always align, but there were always mate and conversation. I recommend doing it in the summer to enjoy the beach.

I was very happy at Fer's house and with the children Mia, Toretto, Swinxy, and Chuky. It was my first volunteering experience, alone, a woman, so far from my country, and it was incredible and safe; I enjoyed it a lot. Fer is very attentive, she helps you with whatever you need, guides you, and orients you in context and place, communicates things clearly and is flexible with the tasks to be done. The children Mia, Toretto, Swinxy and Chuky are very affectionate and adapt quickly to you, they are calm and very tender🥹 Truly this has been my first and best experience, I will miss them a lot💛
