    Hi, I’m Jane 👋

    I’m currently renovating a beautiful rural property in central Bulgaria — a bit of a passion project I’ve been working on (mostly solo!) for the past three years, alongside working in the UK. The property includes two houses, a barn, and around 3000m² of land, so there’s always something interesting going on here.

    I’m now looking for a friendly, reliable house and dog sitter from 18th May to 10th June to care for my three very lovable small Yorkshire Terriers 🐶

    🐾 What’s involved
    Looking after three affectionate, easy-going Yorkies making their food which is freshed cooked chopped chicken.
    Taking them on a daily walk. And generally making sure they are cared for and loved in my absence.

    Keeping the house lived-in and secure. Clean and tidy.

    Enjoying the peaceful surroundings while I’m away

    🏡 What I offer
    A comfortable double room with tv within the house in a unique countryside setting
    Unlimited WiFi and netflix
    Basic food supplies.

    A chance to experience slow, rural living in Bulgaria

    Plenty of space, fresh air, and quiet

    🌿 About the location
    The property is set in a quiet village between Stara Zagora and Plovdiv, surrounded by forests, hills, and open countryside. It’s an ideal spot if you enjoy nature and a slower pace of life.

    Perfect for:

    Walking and hiking

    Yoga or meditation

    Reading, writing, or remote work

    Simply unwinding and recharging

    If you love dogs, nature, and a bit of peace and quiet, this could be a really special place to spend a few weeks.
