    Must Love Dogs..:-)

    My apologies to anyone who has tried to contact me recently. I've had family staying with me.

    DATES: (Looking for a longterm work-away/s - I would need you to commit to these dates before you respond. I've had a stressful 24 hours. Luckily I've found an Amazing Workaway close by who will come this week to look after my babies.

    But I don't want this to happen again. Hence I'm sending this request out find a better solution for the future.

    I'm Australian, I have 3 dogs (but 4 now until April) they're a family pack. Mum & 3 of her kids! They're Australian Border Collie cross/Australian Shepards. I have recovered from my operations so I just need support in the garden, cleaning the house & most important to me is looking after my dogs.

    I'm looking for a work-away (or work-away couple) to help with the house & garden as well a little bit of cleaning given I have furry dogs that shed lots of hair:-)

    I don't expect daily working hours but you need to be proactive when it comes to keeping the house & garden clean.

    You will have the freedom to be independent and explore the area. When I'm away in Australia this Christmas - you will have access to my car to shop & to take the dogs 3mins down the road to paddocks, the river and vines which they love to run through every day.

    St Alban Auroilles is situated within the Ardeche. I speak English - so French is not essential but would help.

    The most important part of this opportunity is general help around the house walking & looking after my dogs whilst I'm away.

    You will have your own separate Flat/Apartment with a fridge, cooking facilities & your own bathroom & internet. You will have unlimited Internet Access (Fibre). But this also means you will need to be independent - this opportunity does not include me cooking for you or looking after you. Ideal for a digital nomad who is looking for a place in France to connect with Nature but has a good work ethic and kindness in abundance!

    This is my home & safe haven for me. My dogs are the priority - my neighbours are my friends so ensuring the dogs are not barking or leaving the property is essential.

    In conclusion: If you're looking for a lovely quiet place to enjoy some solitude, experience the wonders of rural France then this is the place!

    A Handyperson - male or female with general capabilities would be greatly appreciated. I have no preference for gender.

    Please reach out to me.
    Cheers Paula
