I really enjoyed my time there, the work is a little bit hard because its 100% physical, but its lovely know that you are helping the dogs. Obviously, the dogs can scratch you, but they are so friendly. Also, she and her family are so kind. Im so glad to stayed some time here and i want to come back

Débora and her family were so nice and respectful. Debora was presential and helpful to explain and do the work and a great host. I felt at home and their dogs so lovely.

Deborah es muy agradable y maja, siempre dispuesta a ayudar y la verdad que como anfitriona es muy buena, pero es cierto que la experiencia depende de las personas con las que coincidas en la casa porque sino es bastante solitaria. Los perros son muchos (Deborah ya me lo dijo porque me pasó su página web) y ninguno muerde o es agresivo, aunque se suben para jugar. A pesar de ello, es cierto que la casa no me parece lo suficientemente limpia, entiendo que está en medio del campo pero hay bastantes cosas que carecen de higiene, algo que para mí fue mucho contraste.
