Description
At the moment I can only offer weekends or 1 week max. I am looking for someone to help care for my rescue dog Alfred. Usual requirements are a daily walk, ocassional home and pet sitting at weekends and once off weekly home and pet sitting while I am abroad. Hours etc open to discussion depending on requirements at the time and needs of WorkAwayer etc. I am a qualified Montessori Teacher, and holistic therapist. I have previously worked for EF Language and offer conversational English lessons. I have over 20 years experience hosting EL students with EF and have had lodgers from all parts of the world. I am interested in and respectful of different cultures. Alfred is our nervous but friendly staffy x collie rescue dog, he is not good with other dogs so confidence and experience are essential. I can offer a double room in a three bedroom suburban area. Please note there will be 2 females in their 20s living in the house during your stay but they won't be home much . Hours required will vary on time of year.
