Details
Description
I have five doggies mostly adopted. Need some assistance to take care of doggies and home.
My home is located 500 meters up on a mountain overlooking the Adriatic, with mountains behind. there is walking trails around here and the scenery is outstanding, looking up the mountains or down to the sea. We are 7 km up the mountain from Budva, you can hitch, or catch a bus nearby to town or if adventurous walk and bush wack the trail to town.
Outdoor coffee shops, Ancient city of Budva to explore, great location.
Drinking tea or coffee on the verandah and watching the boats coming and going, sailing, fishing, water sports in abundance, horse riding, trekking, paragliding school nearby, health spas. Quiet up here on the mountain but the town is bustling in the summer season.
Really looking for workawayers (is that a word?) who would like to stay for extended period of time i.e. more than one month. mature volunteers welcome
Types of help and learning opportunities
Elderly Companionship
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Animal Care
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Have volunteers from different countries, and we all take turns in cooking a local dish from their home country, so meals are very interesting. We also chat especially over coffee so we learn about differences in culture. Travelling around Montenegro, seeing such a beautiful country which has alot to offer, snow skiing in winter and water skiing in summer. Walking trails close to the house with breathtaking views out over the Adriatic.
Help
We start a typical day at 0700 with doggie play time which means we spend time to interact with the doggies throwing the ball and giving them love.
. At 0800 we stop for breakfast.
At 0900 we start days chores which can be gardening or painting or building a little more of the support wall.
At 12 we stop for lunch.
After lunch is free time till the next doggie playtime
We start doggie play again at 1900 and water the garden. There is usually 3 volunteers here. If you want to go out in afternoon there is no need to come back for doggie play time we only ask you talk to other volunteers as it's helpful to have one volunteer here for afternoon doggie play time.
Days off just coordinate with other volunteers so that there is always one volunteer here. Ithere is usually three volunteers so you will get to meet very interesting people (And food) from around the world.
We have cut a path on the mountain near to the house to take the doggies for walks up on the mountains. Amazing trail with outstanding scenery. They are lovely doggies, gentle nature.
A dogs life, sleeping, eating, playing, walking, running, being bathed, being groomed. hmmm
There is plenty of opportunity to go out and enjoy the surroundings, go for walks on the mountain, and enjoy the local culture.
We are still putting finishing touches to reconstruction work that was done here so if you have any experience using power tools or plumbing a little cement work that would be great but definitely not essential.
PLEASE NOTE: if you are not able to stay more than a month please do not apply. we are a family community and it takes a while for new volunteers to get to know us and our routines.
Those that cannot accept doggie barking please dont apply.
please note we do not plan more than a month ahead so please note this when you write to us
senior volunteers welcome
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Accommodation
An independent room with its own toilet and shower and indepent access. The view from the room is down the mountain to the sea. Its in a pretty quiet area, up on the mountain, but within 3 mins reach of bus services to local town which is bustling in the summer with tourists. Old City of Budva with narrow cobble streets, plenty of beaches, outdoor coffee bars, sailing, fishing water sports etc.
There is also a small independent apartment with kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen is shared if there is a volunteer in the independent room mentioned above.
What else ...
In your free time, visit Budva, which is bustling in the summer, cafe bars along the outside of the old city walls, hiking on the mountain, paragliding nearby, beaches, Old City of Kotor not far away, sailing, Dubrovnik is a few hours away by bus, the list goes on, but up here on the mountain, its peaceful and relaxing.

I am so happy that zoraidaaa came to stay. She is always happy and bubbly and the doggies loved her too. She has made a big difference to my garden planting vegetables and seeds and a very good job cleaning the weeds. She is diligent and hard working.
If she applies to come to visit you don't hesitate. You will be lucky.

Had a wonderful time working and living with Janet, the other volunteers, and, of course, the six lovely dogs. Stayed for five weeks and would happily stay for longer. Janet makes a point to ensure that every volunteer is doing work that suits them and the work hours are always reasonable. During my stay I had time to see Budva, Cetinje, Kotor,… read more

Maxim was a joy to have around. Kind sensitive and totally amazing with the doggies. His work in the garden will bear fruit next year with Maxims special garlic patch.
Hosts don't hesitate Maxim is a joy to have around.

Tom is really amazing. It's been wonderful to have him here. He managed to get my water system working again, climbing the mountain several times. He fixed up the kitchen which is really beautiful now. He put decorative stones on my balcony rails. I cannot express how helpful he has been during his visit here. He is welcome back anytime.

I stayed with Janet and her six dogs for 2 months and I had a great time. I took care dogs, cleaned in the house and watered the garden.
Janet was really friendly and welcoming.The dogs were lovely, kind and clever. I became very attached to them.
Thanks Janet for this amazing time. I hope I can come back one day.

Leandro I am sorry your experience was not so good. I know you had problem with another person that was here. For information that person is no longer here. I have no complaints about the jobs you did. But I did personally feel that you were treating my home like a hotel, not clearing away your plates leaving them for someone else after eating..… read more

I stayed with Janet for June, July, and August of last year and it was easily one of the best workaways I did. Basically, if you're considering doing workaway in montenegro, don't think twice, contact Janet and make your way there, it will be fantastic!

He is missed here, you made us laugh every day. Igor, come back any time, you are always welcome. Hosts if you are considering Igor, all I can say is dont hesitate, you will be lucky… read more

First thing to say: all Janet's dogs are adorable! We became friends with them and it was really uneasy to leave!
The house is located in a beautiful place on the mountain and it's a big pleasure to walk with dogs by the forest path, looking down to the sea and enjoying the nature around. Dogs' walk was our favourite part of the day!
