    For periods of 16 days, 3 times, I will be absent because I guide mountain trail rides. I need you to take care of my animals and garden during my absence.

    Feed the 6 cats. Feed de 2 dogs and give a little more love and care to the disabled puppy (let him run around in his wheelchair once per day).
    There will be the donkey, the old mare (20yo) and her yearling son, two 2 years old horses. Sometimes there will also be 3 geldings. They will need to be fed with hay twice per day and make sure they have water all the time.

    Water the garden (organic), eat what is ripe, maybe plant something if you feel like it!

    This are the dates for which I will need your help. Please be sure that you can stay for the whole period as I will not be there to find you a replacement if you suddenly decide to leave before the agreed end of your stay date.
    10 June - 5 July = 26 days
    5 July - 26 July = 22days
    2 August - 26 August = 25 days

    My brother and his family and the neighbours on the other side of the street can help you in case you encounter some problems with the animals.
    I live in RotFront village 65km East of Bishkek.
    If you are interested we can have a chat on Whatsapp or Skype to answer each others questions and make sure everything is understood and agreed so that this experience can be nice for everyone !
