Would very much welcome help in the garden and around the grounds - weeding, bringing in logs, clearing brambles, painting gates and outdoor doors.

Added bonus would be someone who loved the dogs and who was happy to help with them as and when needed/occasional House Sitting required.

We spent the month of February at Emma’s place. She had planned a long list of outdoor tasks for us, but unfortunately, the weather wasn’t on our side. Nevertheless, we managed to clean a large part of the garden, the flower beds, and the courtyard, as well as remove dead leaves. We weeded, cut back dead vegetation, turned the soil, and added… read more

From our first conversations on here and then in a video call it was clear that Emma embodies the best of workaway hosts. Open, generous, engaged and supportive of her workawayers.

It was an absolute pleasure and complete peace of mind having Robyn and Joe in our home over Christmas. I found their profile and messaged them about 6 weeks before Christmas asking if by any chance, they might be interested in minding the house and dogs over a period when everyone has plans. To my great surprise and delight they immediately… read more
