  Descripción

  Hello! My name is Allison and I'm from the U.S., but I currently reside in the Kakheti region of Georgia (next to Lagodekhi National Park) with my three rescue dogs. My house is a typical village house, with stunning views, lots of land, fruit and nut trees, and even a small babbling creek. My dogs are L.B. (Little Bit) who is about 1.5, Baloo who is 2, and Rizzo who is 11. The neighbors surrounding me are curious and often helpful. Horses and cattle roam the streets. This is an idyllic place to relax, go hiking at the nearby national park, enjoy fresh food and gorgeous nature while getting a taste of true Kakhetian culture. The neighboring town (Lagodekhi, pop. ~5000) is only about 15 minutes walk. There is a small hospital, grocery stores, markets, pharmacies, salon, and a handful of restaurants... everything you need! You get the best of both worlds here: a quiet, peaceful life and nearby access to more modern amenities!

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  By coming to Shroma, you will enjoy an immersive cultural experience in Georgia while being immersed in gorgeous nature with lots of hills, forest, rivers and streams. There is a lot of wildlife and it's a great opportunity to slow down, talk with neighbors, and learn about Georgian culture. And perfect for people who love dogs, of course!

  Ayuda

  I'm looking for help taking care of my dogs while I travel from June 14-18 and again most of September and October. My oldest dog, Rizzo, is pretty self- sufficient and well-behaved, she needs love, cuddles, and food & water. She will give you the biggest smile if you take her hiking with you! L.B. and Baloo are very excitable, larger breeds. This job is ideal for two people, as they must be walked separately. They are not aggressive, I have just admittedly done a mediocre job of training them. They mainly stay in the yard (or house) except for their walks and also need some love and necessities to live. In general, I ask whoever comes to clean up after themselves, wash used linens and towels, etc. Basically, just keep the house in good condition. The ideal candidate(s) are experienced with dogs, truly enjoy dogs, and will love a peaceful experience with lots of nature and hiking.

  I am a native English speaker from the U.S., but I studied French and Russian for several years. I would love to practice those languages, or even some new ones such as Spanish, Georgian, Greek, or Italian!

  Alojamiento

  Full house, there are three beds and two rooms. I will not be here during the above dates, so you will have the space to yourself completely. I have a double bed, and two twin beds. There are two desks, a small open kitchen, indoor shower with hot water, toilet and washing machine, and a central living space as well. LB and Baloo sleep in their crates inside, and Rizzo sleeps where she wants (she's a great cuddle buddy!). I will provide a stipend for food based on my own food expenses, so you can buy what you like, or we can come to another arrangement.
