Take care of a big dog in a log cabin next to one of the country's biggest lakes in Tyristrand, Norway

  Description

  I need someone to take care of my dog while I am away working in Oslo during the week, you will be free in the weekends since I will come back to the cabin.
  
  
  
  I saved my dog (Mishka) in Ukraine when the war started, he is now 2 years old and weighs more than 80kg, so you need to have experience and be confident with such a large dog.
  
  You will have a beautiful log cabin in the forest and right by one of the biggest lake in Norway just for yourself. Except taking my dog for a walk once a day and keep him company I don't ask anything else from you so you will have plenty of times for yourself and to explore beautiful Norway. This experience would perfectly suits someone that needs time alone to practice something.
  
  The cabin is 2h from Oslo with public transport so you can both enjoy the capital city and the wild mountains, lakes and forests next to the cabin.
  
  
  My name is Christophe and I am from Toulouse in the south of France.
  I am a workawayer myself that have been traveling continuously for the last 9 years, and my journey brought me to Norway. While traveling and being a volunteer with many hosts I always thought that one day I would be the one hosting people and now this dream comes true.
  
  I can welcome more than 1 person, which is also easier to handle Mishka.
  
  If your goal is to settle and work in Norway I would be happy to help you find a job.
  
  Feel free to contact me if you have any questions :)
