Description
Hi,
We will be needing a volunteer for the following to help:
-Pet and house sitting (this is the important and main one)
The job requires a VERY good level of understanding and care background of domestic animals, so please detail your experiences taking care of pets. We have:
a 11 year old Kind Charles, needs some medical attention, in good health generally.
Two cats, one needs a certain specific care and supervision for medical reasons.
Two rabbits, one with a condition that may require special attention, overall good health.
The house is in a beautiful, small French town in Ile de France (30 min bus plus 30 min suburban train to Paris) so the work may be socially a bit lonesome, ideal if you have a schedule for the rest of your day working online or like reading and walking etc and surely enjoy countryside. It is not easy to access Paris on a daily basis so do not consider this workaday just visit Paris, but think of it as a countryside lifestyle. However you can of course go to Paris somedays coordinating with us.
More about us:
I am from Turkey, a psychologist and a passionate Original Yoga System trainer at Yoga Academy France. I live with my partner, Guglielmo, who is Italian, works at a tech start-up and loves gardening. We recently moved to the countryside in a house with a garden. You will mainly be with my boyfriend during the summer in the house and sometimes alone when he travels.
Out Dates:
Currently Looking: 14-28 March 2025
1st week of your stay: You will be with Guglielmo, getting used to the house and animals routine, you can go to Paris coordinating with him.
Last week of February: you will be alone in the house with all the animals. You need to stay in the house and not go to the city as there are transport problems.
Summer months: June, July, August 2025
Our dates are flexible.
You will have an independent small cottage with independent shower and toilet within our house (kitchen shared). Currently one of the rabbits is also in that bathroom due to health issues, but in a clean organisation.
Required:
For Animal Care:
-High responsibility
-Experience with animals
-Trustworthy (no lies, high level of responsibility and transparency!)
-Autonomy (be ready to solve some problems that may arrive, and don't get bored in the countryside)
-You must sleep at home EVERY night that you are alone with the animals (you can't leave a dog overnight!)
-video calls everyday when we are away
Highly preferred:
-Vegetarian/vegan, the house is a vegetarian space
-No smoking or drugs
More about the work:
The person should definitely have experience with animals, otherwise it can be overwhelming for you as we have a few animals.
Looking for a person who is responsible, trustworthy person who loves animals and have experience taking care of them. And help us form our Yoga retreat center and organic garden^^ If you would like to feel countryside life this might be a perfect fit for you.
If you have questions feel free to ask I could only think of these for now.
Looking forward to hear from you,
