  Description

  Hola!!! My name is Guille, I´m 30 and I live in a beautiful village 30 km from Segovia and 130 km from Madrid with 3 cats and 3 dogs. It is a very very small village and there is nothing to do but walk/bike/hike around. There are no shops neither young people. It is also pretty cold in winter.
  I only work in the mornings, so every afternoon I either take care of my animals or I volunteer at the animal shelter (45 min drive). The shelter has 40 adorable dogs and I sometimes go to be with them, walk them, clean them, socialize them... It's hard but very comforting when you see the gratitude of the animals.
  It would be great to host someone who loves nature and is independent to take walks by themselves around. I don't ask for any volunteer "work" in return, but the dogs will be delighted if you give them long walks and if some days you accompany me to the dog shelter! Unfortunately, I cannot offer meals, but I would be happy to prepare the meal together or make some other plans. My idea is that you think that it is like a "vacation" in a very quiet village, where you can enjoy nature and the dogs and cats of the house.
  
  I don't want to make the presentation too long so that it is easy to read, so please feel free to ask me anything you want! :)

  Help

  The shelter is in the countryside, 45 min by car from my house (downtown Segovia). We volunteers go to clean the facilities, and above all give a lot of love to the dogs :3.
  
  The idea is that during the morning, you are free to relax/walk/bike around (and even go to Madrid or Segovia if you feel like), and in the afternoon, either help with the animals/house or accompany me to the shelter and being with the doggys :)
  
  Since the help will be less than 15 hours per week, meals are not included, but you are free to use the kitchen whenever you want! :)
