Description
VOLUNTEER NEEDED JUNE 23-28
. THIS IS A NONPAID VOLUNTEER place.
OBS!! The place is not close to helsinki as shown on the map(can't get it changed), my place is close to Jakobstad (4 hrs from helsinki) closest airport is vaasa or kokkola.
Hi everyone! Iam looking for someone (one or 2-3persons) that would be willing to take care of my animals
and house for a few days
~23.6 - 28.6 .2025
The main task is to walk the dog and hang out with him. He is 4 yrs old and a big germanshepherd/husky mix so he needs 2-3 walks every day! . Besides that he is a sweet and cuddly dog ♡
I have 5 kittens and 3 cats, and 3 bunnies+ hopefully bunnybabies in june. So feeding them and also water my plants is also part of your work.
The house has 2 floors, 3 bedrooms, kitchen,livingroom, 1 toilet and a bathroom. It is not fancy, but decent.you get warm water by heating a boiler (not sure if that is the right word)
There is no bus routes from here. The house is in between two cities, 20 minutes to Jakobstad and 30 minutes to Kokkola. It is 30 minutes to the ocean with beautiful beaches (even in winter with ice on the seas) The house is within walking distance to beautiful forests.
You need to have a driverslisence so you can get to the store, sightseeing and so on! If you are flying in to helsinki you will need to buy a trainticket to get here to pietarsaari. easiest would be to fly to vaasa or kokkola.
I do not have internet connection so you need to have your own internet through your phone.
Me myself is a 30 year old woman living on the countrysid with a child. We are planning a trip to sweden/norway during that time and since we don't have any family/friends that are interesting in petsitting we are hoping to find somepne throuhg here. 2 years ago I did the same thing, a girl from germany came to stay with the animals. She enjoyed the stay!
. I love knitting, hiking, friends and family. I love traveling and meeting new ppl. I have been on workaway myself, to colombia before corona hit.
Let me know only if you are seriously interested coming to my place.
Best regaards Lena

You'll be in between two smaller cities, one swedish talking city and the other mostly finnish talking. People here both swedish and finish talking are generally very good at english so you would have no troubles going to places.
