I had a wonderful time in Dorset. The dogs are great company and a pleasure to be around. Each one unique in their own way. I spent a lot of time out in the garden with them. Ri is an incredible young woman, we shared many wonderful chats about life and things happening in the world. When time allowed Ri showed me some of her favourite local

Charlie is such a wonderful person. He really took the time to understand each of our dogs and bond with them. They all absolutely adored him, being away was so much easier knowing they were not only well cared for yet also truly happy.
Charlie has so so many amazing stories about his life and the places he’s explored - listening to them feels

Charlie, thank you so much for everything. Hope to see you again one day, wishing you all the best on your next adventure 🌏

Lottie is a lovely person, very easy to get along with and really cares about nature and our planet.
The dogs all enjoyed their walks and having lots of attention. I could see how much the dogs warmed to you (even if Jaffa barking tried to suggest otherwise now and then!) Your care and patience with each of the dogs really showed.

If the opportunity to stay on the Dorset coast wasn't awesome enough already, I felt suuuuper grateful to be welcomed into the company of Rhi, her family, and the dogs. I stayed for almost a month here, as our aim was to get the dogs used to having me around before I was left alone with them, and it almost worked out (minus the barking)! Plans
… read more changed, as they always do, and Rhi was only away for a couple of nights. I really enjoyed hanging out with Ember, Islay, and Jaffa - I could play endlessly throwing the toys for Ember (as long as Islay hadn't run off with them) and Jaffa is great at giving massive cuddles. Outside of morning and evening walks for each doggo; food time; and the days I stayed home to look after them, Rhi gave me a lot of independence. She was very considerate, making space for me to put groceries and letting me make myself at home. I had a lot of time to explore and just chill with the dogs - it felt a lot less like work, and a lot more like fun! Perfect for dog lovers, obviously :) It's also a big bonus to be a few minutes' walk away from a dip at the beach, and the Purbecks & Jurassic Coast are easily accessible too. Rhi always jumped at the chance to give me travel advice or any other recommendation really, thanks so much! I also learnt more about dog training and care while I was there, and got to know the habits that make the three dogs unique. I'd love to see you and the dogs again later in my travels x

I stayed at Rhiana's house for 3 weeks, she welcomed me at the bus station, which was lovely. She and her mother treated me very well from day one, asked me simple tasks to do, they cooked to me tipical british food to eat. I was happy to be there and take care of Layla, Amber and Rafa, they are lovely dogs and love to be cuddled. I was able to

I spent such a wonderful time with Rhi in her cosy house, very close to the sea, that I came back straight away. Ember and Islay, these incredibly adorable, lovely, funny dogs, immediately stole my heart. We had so much fun together and loved to cuddle and play all day. Rhi is the warmest, funniest person you can imagine. She always made sure I

Everyone will enjoy their time with Rhi and the two Goldene Girls and I will always come back.
I miss them very much, the three girls with the golden hearts.
Lots of hugs, JohannaLeft by host for Workawayer (Johanna)
Johanna is a truly lovely person and a brilliant workawayer - trustworthy, reliable, and incredibly kind. She is very easy to get along with and is happy to get on with things. Johanna initially came for a month and then much to our delight kindly came back again - taking great care of the dogs (Ember and Islay both love her) and the house while I

Can’t recommend her highly enough, we’d welcome her back without hesitation. Any future hosts would be lucky to have her come and stay.
Johanna - any time you fancy being by the sea you are always welcome here:)

These guys are legends! Rhi is really kind and caring, I was made to feel super welcome straight away. Expectations of me were really clear so I was able to enjoy my downtime. Great set up for working remotely, and heaps of walking tracks and shops close by. The dogs Islay and Ember are beautiful, loved hanging out with them :) would highly

Left by host for Workawayer (Cameron)
Cameron is very kind and trustworthy. He was a great help looking after our two dogs whilst I was away. He kept everything clean and tidy and took the dogs out twice a day (even in the rain!)
Thank you Cam for looking after Ember and Islay so well

I had a very nice stay with Rhianna in Bournemouth. Rhianna is a very kind and thoughtful host, and the dogs are absolutely lovely and gentle creatures. Rhianna is very knowledgeable about Bournemouth and Dorset and gave me some great recommendations of places to visit :). Thanks so much!

Kati is one of the loveliest people you will ever meet! Great company, very helpful and eager to give anything a go.
She came for just over 5weeks and helped with painting, general house maintenance, cleaning, gardening and most importantly helping to look after our Great Dane Enya and her 11 puppies!
She came as a Workaway and left as a friend!
