The Experience

I have a house just 3.5 miles from the city Centre but also not far from the beautiful countryside that surrounds Manchester. I am requiring 5 hours a day Monday to Friday. Weekends off to explore the area. My Father is elderly and lives a 10 minutes' walk away. He needs 2 hours a day just to help with basic things, cooking. 3 hours at my home for cleaning and walking Tito. You will need to cook for yourself.

This was the best volunteering experience that I have so far. Dianne is an amazing host, Tito is the most lovely dog ever. The accommodation is great and super well located.I have lots of fun moments there and could improve and develop new skills.

Diane was a lovely and welcoming host. She communicated what she wanted done clearly and kindly, respected hours/the days off and was willing to be flexible when needed. Her dog Tito is very cute as well. I will and have recommended Diane to other travelers I've met! Til we meet again next time <3

I love him so much, he is a beautiful dog, he is so smart and cuddly. I will miss both of them, but I's sure we will meet in the future.

To stay in The Dianne's Being at Dianne's house was a great experience, Dianne is a very intelligent and very kind woman and Tito is a very beautiful dog, taking care of him is a nice experience. I was able to practice my English and Dianne was willing to show me around the city and even introduce me to her friends who are excellent people. I didn't want to leave there, I felt very comfortable.
