I had an absolutely wonderful experience pet sitting for Jonathan! From start to finish, everything went smoothly, and I truly felt at home. The pets were all so lovely and well-behaved, and I quickly bonded with them. I loved that jonathan trusted me with his pets and gave me a lot of independence while still providing guidance when needed. The whole experience gave me the perfect balance of responsibility and relaxation. I highly recommend this opportunity to anyone who loves animals and is looking for a rewarding Worldpackers experience.

I LOVED it... I felt so welcomed and at home, I didn't want to leave! Jonathan and everyone who works there are amazing, and we had loads of fun. I helped him with the design of his website which is what he needed at the time and it was loads of fun to do and also take pictures up the volcano for the website. Amazing experience, I can't recommend it enough!

Volunteered for reception with the host and ended up staying 6 weeks The whole team – Jonathan, Samara, Ana, and Willy – were incredibly welcoming and made me feel part of the group right away. Really enjoyed my time helping travelers and working with everyone.

It was an incredible experience! Unfortunately I spent only 2 weeks at the host. The food was very good and the room simple but comfortable! I was able to get to know a bit more about Guatemala and the work is just as described! Highly recommend!
