Night shift dog sitting

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!

I really like dogs and the volunteering at the host is perfect for all dog lovers. The work is hard, but very fair. You get a private one room apartment in the tamsui area. It's a bit far away from the city center, but tamsui also has a lot to explore. It can become very loud while volunteering because of the dogs' barking, but pack yourself noise cancelling headphones or earplugs and you're good to go. I really like the other sitters and felt welcomed by every one of them. It can become quite busy, so sometimes you have to double text.

My time at the host was fantastic! I really liked the work and Natasha the fulltime workers are also very nice and try to explain everything as best as they can. They have big and small dogs of All kinds, so don't underestimate all the barking, it can be tiring if your not used to it but at least for me it was totally manageble. The Lunch was also very tasty everytime!!

I enjoyed volunteering at the host. The staff was kind and always let me know if a dog needed extra care. I was mostly on the first floor with the small dogs, so I didn't get to help much with the big or special care dogs, though I did play with them sometimes. There's more cleaning than playtime, but it was still a nice experience if you love being around dogs.

Besides the cleaning tasks, which take most of the time, you will have an opportunity to pet very cute dogs. Another advantage of this place is a very beautiful beach area right next to it. However, before coming here, make sure that you feel confident around big dogs, as there will be many of them and you might need to clean their area alone too. Also, it will be very noisy all the time because of the dogs barking, so be prepared for it. Don't worry if you need to double text the host to ask for additional information, since there are so many dogs and the place can get very busy.

I had a great experience volunteering at the host-the host. The work schedule was quite flexible and allowed plenty of time to explore Taiwan on my days off. Days working were quite hard work with various cleaning tasks. What was most enjoyable was definitely playing with the dogs. On days that you work Natasha provides lunch which was always pretty tasty and nutritious. You get a 2 hour lunch break from 12-2. I would normally head down to the beach and hang out there for a bit as the host was located a 5-10 minute walk from the beach which was awesome.

Ive had an absolutely amazing experience at the host! Natasha and team were lovely, especially the dogs! They give lunch and a room to yourself. It is physically demanding and you work full days but you will be given good amount of days off to explore Taipei and Tamsui. Overall I highly recommend if you're a pet lover!

I loved my time here! The dogs were amazing, the work can be hard, a lot of cleaning, but 3 days a week and your own private apartment it's a no brainier! You get the bus to the daycare which is really cheap and frequent. We had lunch bought every day, plus breakfast sometimes and bubble tea! Also, whenever there were issues at the apartment the host would buy what was needed/or resolve it very quickly! I would definitely recommend this experience to anybody interested in visiting Taiwan! The area 'Tamsui' was nice too! Just a train ride away from Taipei and lots of extra time to explore

Natasha is a great host, I had a lot of questions and she kindly answered them before I arrived. There was a little confusion as to what room I would be in when I checked in, but it all worked out. I would advise anyone looking to work here that you will be working the whole shift, the dogs do not take a break! Also Tamsui is a bit outside of Taipei center city. I liked that it was a bit more remote near a beach, but some may wish for center city. Lunches provided on days you worked were always delicious and Natasha tries to schedule you with longer blocks of days off so you can travel.
