    Descrição

    I'm looking for someone to mainly help take care of my pets while I run around juggling college and two jobs this September! As I am out working a lot, I am really looking for someone who is comfortable spending time on their own, or a couple who can entertain each other. When I am there, we can cook together and chat together..

    Hello there! My name is Myrthe, and I am a student of Psychotherapy and a holistic massage therapist. I live in a small apartment in the countryside with my mother, who has her own separate apartment in the same building. My mother travels occasionally, so she may not always be around. My sister lives nearby, and we are a small, friendly family who welcome people of all genders, sexualities, and ethnicities. My family and I have been hosting volunteers since I was a little girl. I have also been a volunteer and have done exchanges with hosts in Spain and France myself. We are big fans of good food and cozy dinners with great conversation. Everyone shares in the cooking, and we enjoy a mixture of vegetarian meals with the occasional meat dish.

    Who We Are Looking For:
    We are looking for someone to give us a hand with gardening, cleaning, cooking, maintenance, dog walking, cat cuddling, and DIY projects. We happily accept couples! We have a double bed, so it's not suitable for two people who are not close. Your accommodation is a bedroom with a shared bathroom. We have WiFi, but phone reception is generally not great. We are about 14 km from the main town, so we are quite rural. If you come with your own transport, that's great, but I’m in and out of town regularly and can give you a lift.

    Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

    We’ve hosted volunteers for over 30 years, and love meaningful conversation alongside plenty of quiet time. You’ll experience rural Irish life, scenic walks, and the rhythms of a slower, nature-connected lifestyle. We also have a large holistic health library (with books in English and Dutch) to explore.

  • Ajuda

    Ajuda

    I need support with daily animal care (feeding, walking, medication) for two rescue dogs and a cat — all sweet but with their quirks, so confidence with animals is essential. Aside from that it would be general household chores including some cooking, cleaning and basic gardening.

    We are located in the Mealagh Valley, 14 km from the nearest town, Bantry, in West Cork, Ireland. It's a rural area, but I travel to Bantry a few times a week and can give you a lift if you want to explore. Hiring a car is recommended for more extensive exploration, or you can rent bikes from the local town

    This is a great place for those who love the outdoors, nature, and walking. We are on the famous 'Sheepshead Way' and 'St Finbarr Pilgrims Path' walkways. In our local town, there are great pubs and places to eat, as well as Bantry House and Gardens, and a cinema. You can take a trip to Whiddy Island or the renowned Garnish Islands in Glengarriff. Glengarriff is a nature reserve with beautiful native woodlands.

    The Wild Atlantic Way is beautiful and rugged, and the views of the bay on a clear day are breathtaking.

    If you need a suburban life, close to shops and other conveniences, this might not be the place for you. We are enveloped in nature in wild West Cork.

    What to Bring
    Please bring work clothes, including shoes/boots that can get dirty and clothes suitable for painting and other messy tasks. We provide work gloves.

    Weather
    Irish weather can be unpredictable, so bring clothing for all conditions, including layers for warmth, rain, and cold.

    The Matriarch of the household my little cat Ruby is around 13 years old. Maybe older. She is showing her age and walks around the place like she owns it. And she probably does.

    She has daily meditation to keep her going and needs to kept an eye on when in the kitchen. She has been found sitting in the middle of the frying pan licking around her, regardless if the pan is still a little hot!

    Jazz is my most recent rescue. She is perhaps around 3. She needs lots of love. she can be very needy :)

    She does not always listen very well so needs to be kept on the lead. It can feel like she takes you for a walk rather than the other way around.

    She needs to be left out often as her bladder is not the best at behaving :)

    My first rescue dog. He is around 7. But could also be older.. definitely act like it sometimes :)
    He has two eye conditions. PRA - which means he is slowly going blind.. he currently sees shadows and movement in full light. Almost fully blind in the dark. His second eye condition is closely monitored.

    He needs a lot of minding. He can get anxious easily and needs lots of reassurance. You also need to make sure you watch him when he walking so he does not walk into anything! He loves playing with his ball.. a special one that makes lots of noise.

    He has to be taken on the same walk everyday. Not very interesting fro us and for him, but safe!

    He is my baby :)
