Description
Hi Everyone!
We are Siobhan and Julien and we own and run a watersports activity centre, based in Mui Ne, Vietnam. We are searching for someone (or a couple or two friends) to help out with pet sitting our 2 dogs plus 1 cat in our cosy, comfortable house, while we are away in Europe.
This is an ideal opportunity for any digital nomads looking for an interesting and relaxing stay in Vietnam, or for anyone who has been on the road for a while and is missing their home comforts. Let us know if that's you! But please only contact us if you can stay 2 months at least...
Types of help and learning opportunities
Animal Care
Help around the house

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
As you will be living in the heart of a real Vietnamese village, you will quickly get to see the differences between Vietnamese life and Western life! The villagers are very warm and welcoming, and we have had helpers make some really good Vietnamese friends while staying with us.
Mui Ne is small, neighbourly and multi cultural, it's a great place to meet people from all over the world, and a great place to learn real Vietnamese life. There are Vietnamese language classes run in the village, and you can really learn about Vietnams ancient and diverse history as well by visiting historic sites in the area.
You can learn watersports - surf and SUP and have a chance to learn to kitesurf or wingfoil, if you are interested.
Help
Our two small dogs are very chill and low maintenance. They have 1 or 2 short walks a day, and love to hang out, have cuddles, and spend time with their humans. The cat will visit based on her own terms lol, and expects her food bowl to be full when the visit happens :)
In exchange we offer you our cosy 2 bedroom house with private garden, fully equipped kitchen, 2 bedrooms with AC (one set up as a home office with standing desk, ergonomic chair etc). We also offer helpers the chance to learn watersports in our kite centre, including surfing, SUP (free surf and SUP) and kitesurfing or wing foiling (at a discounted rate). There is also a scooter for transportation.

What else ...
Mui Ne is the best place in Asia to learn to kite surf and windsurf, and it has really consistent wind from October to March. There are also a couple of nice surf spots, and some really fabulous SUP locations eg in the famous Mui Ne harbour.
There are plenty of places to go and things to see on your down time, loads of fabulous street food options, beaches, temples, and there's even a cinema in Phan Thiet (20mins away) that shows english movies if you're feeling really homesick ;)
Transport here is mainly by scooter or bicycle. There is also a local bus service and plenty of taxis available
