    Description

    Hello! We've been living in beautiful Goa for the past nine years, and during that time we've built a little family of our own, including 14 wonderful rescue dogs. My partner and I are both from the UK, and we've made a home here that's full of love and wagging tails. We're looking for a couple of volunteers who can look after our place and our furry family members for about six weeks while we head back to the UK in March. Our dogs are all friendly and loving, and we hope you'll enjoy spending time in our little corner of Goa as much as we do.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Travelers will get to enjoy a genuine cultural exchange here, as we're located close to Old Goa, which has a lovely village-like vibe. The area is full of kind and welcoming locals, and you'll be surrounded by historic old churches and a really authentic Goan atmosphere. It's a wonderful place to experience the local culture and just enjoy the warmth of the community.

  • Help

    Help

    For our volunteers, the help we're looking for is pretty straightforward: just general cleaning and maintaining the place, making sure our dogs are fed, and of course, giving them plenty of love and affection. That's really all we need—just someone who enjoys a peaceful setting and is happy to care for our furry friends while we're away.

    What else ...

    In their time off, helpers can easily explore the local area. We provide a bicycle, and it's about a 25-minute ride to the capital, Panjim, and roughly 40 minutes to the nearest beaches. The area is full of natural beauty—there are rivers to visit, green fields, and little ponds to enjoy. So there's plenty of peaceful nature and some local sights to explore whenever they like.
