Description
Dog -, Garden- and House - Sitter ( End of June 2024 - minimum stay 4 weeks )
During the low season (monsoon season) we need one helper who will support our staff taking care our dogs and will help in the garden and maintaining the houses.
Since the dogs quickly get used to a caregiver and changes in care are not so pleasant for the animals, we would like to ask for a minimum stay of 4 weeks. Longer would be better as we are looking for a period until the end of August / mid-September.
Looking forward to hearing from you :-)
