  Description

  Hello, I'm Ann, I live at the countryside in Bever, Belgium.
  This is a little village about 45 minutes drive from Brussels or Gent.
  It is a green, hilly area with a lot of open space. it is a very quiet area where there is still silence.
  
  I live in a country house with a garden full of wild plants, herbs, fruits and vegetables,
  together with my dog Snoetje, a 3 year old beagle that I adopted, she comes from a breeding farm, was locked up in a barn there for 2 years as a breeding dog,
  and a cat Winnie, nearly 4 years old,
  and I plan on getting chickens again soon.
  
  I am an artist, painter, so I work at home.
  
  If you have a dog of your own, who is dog- cat- and chicken friendly, he is also welcome.

  Help

  I’m looking for someone who can stay with the dog and cat when I have to go away.
  
  I only go out once in a while, so it won't be a daily need.
  
  Other tasks where I can use help are cleaning the house and doing some gardening and some help with insulation tasks.
