The dogs are all so well trained and easy to manage. The dogs live in luxury- gourmet meals, lots of room to run around and lots of love! The work is beyond manageable but it might take you longer to complete as the dogs can be quite persuasive when it comes to a cuddle. Now as for Gaynor herself, well she is the most loveliest woman ever. Our new Aussie mum. She introduced us to so many things and made us feel right at home. This is experience is really what world packers is all about. Had a cracking time.

Tom, you are a wonderful human being and I have loved having you here. You are exactly the same as Evie, fantastic work ethic, hard working, sensible, mature… the list goes on. Thankyou for everything, your company has been brilliant, I loved everything we all did together. I will be honoured to be your Aussie mum x

There are no words that can truly explain how grateful I am for my time spent with Gaynor. She is the most amicable, hard working and fabulous woman and she made us feel so welcome in her home. The tasks were beyond reasonable and you can't complain when every single one of the dogs is incredibly sweet and gentle. Gaynor has given us fond memories that we will always cherish. This was more than a volunteering position, we've met somebody that will always be a core part of our Aussie trip. I couldn't recommend enough!!
