Program Details

We are an elderly couple, work in the city, and live on a small farm.
Our pets are the few horses and dogs from the shelter. We got them in poor condition, with damage (the previous owners mistreated them). We have helped our animals recover and now they have a good life.
Our farm is not a business, but just a quiet cozy place to live away from the bustle of the city.
We are looking for a helper, someone who can stay with us for a long time.
What do we provide for our helper:
- Accommodation. Sea container was converted into a house. It has a gas stove, shower, etc. We also have a laundry room.
- We buy foodstuffs and you cook for yourself.
- Internet access free (limited)
- 15 kilometers to the ocean, the bus several times a day
If you love animals, hard working, responsible and flexible and in good physical shape - you are welcome

Activities & Shift

Charity Work, Gardening, DIY and building projects, Animal Care, Farmstay help, Help around the house, General Maintenance. 5 working hours per day 5 days per week. Working hours are not in a row, but are distributed throughout the day into several parts.
