This was an amazing experience, the work is okay and you got enough time yo play with the dogs. Nana is really lovely, she will make sure you don't need anything. The lunch is really tasty and local. The apartment was good and in a very centric location you have two bus stops nearby that can take you to the train station and from if you can go anywhere you want. I really recommend this volunteering.

My time at the host was truly amazing! Nana is really lovely and all the staff were super sweet and welcoming too. The work basically consists of cleaning, cuddling and repeat so you get lots of time to give all the dogs love and snuggles. The location is also really beautiful, right across the road from the beach which has some stunning sunsets. I highly recommend this experience if you're someone who likes dogs!

I had a lovely few shifts at the host before I had an accident (not involving the dogs), Nana was amazing, so helpful during it all. Such a shame as I really enjoyed my time volunteering!!! My partner still went for her shifts and I was so jealous of the loving dogs and delicious lunch that was provided!! I would really recommend the experience, everyone is so lovely - just try not to be clumsy like I was :)

This is a great worldpackers experience!! The exchange is really good - getting an apartment in Tamsui area with lots to explore for 3 days of work a week. It is a bit intimidating on the first day with all the barking but stick with it because everyone is so lovely and the dogs are so sweet! The host Nana was so kind - my partner had an accident there (not involving the dogs) and Nana was so helpful and accommodating. The work itself is relaxed - cleaning the rooms as well as time playing with the dogs. The lunches when on shift are also sooo delicious :) !! overall recommend ⭐️

I just completed a three-week volunteer experience at the host, and it was a truly great time. While the work involved a fair amount of cleaning, it was absolutely worth it for the opportunities to cuddle and play with the cute dogs. It was clear that the well-being of the dogs is a top priority. The owners and staff were all very friendly and welcoming! The accomodation provided was more than sufficient and the location was great. Also the shedule for work was super flexible. Overall this was a very positive experience and I'd like to thank Natasha for giving me the opportunity!
