    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    \We are a Polish couple who lived in the UK for over ten years before settling down in the stunning Bulgarian countryside. Currently, we are busy discovering local traditions and learning the Bulgarian language. Our home is a true mix of cultures and languages!

    We share our lives with five friendly, energetic dogs who are the heart of our home. Since we travel quite often, we are looking for a reliable person (or a couple) to help us with dog sitting while we are away. When we are home, we'd also appreciate some help with light renovations and DIY projects. In exchange, we offer a peaceful stay in a picturesque location, a warm atmosphere, and plenty of travel stories. Whether you speak Polish, English, or a bit of Bulgarian – you are more than welcome to join our multicultural household

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Our home is very spacious and comfortable, surrounded by a vast garden where our dogs love to run and play. Upstairs, there are three large, bright bedrooms and a bathroom. The ground floor features a big kitchen and a dedicated, large area for our dogs with a cozy fireplace, which is the heart of our home. We offer full access to both the house and the garden, but we ask for responsible people who will treat our sanctuary and our beloved dogs with the utmost care.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We are looking for responsible people who have previous experience and have been in contact with dogs of all shapes and sizes. It is important to us that you understand their nature, as all five of our dogs are rescues. They have been through a lot, so they need a bit more patience and understanding. Although they are joyful and friendly, they need time to build trust.

    Once they get to know you, they will give you all their love, but we need someone who knows how to respect their boundaries and read their signals. Our home is a place of healing and happiness, and we want to find someone who will help us maintain that peace.

    And here are our two girls! They are sisters, about a year old, and they are Hounds. These two absolutely love long walks and spending their time lounging around. They are very sweet and friendly, but they also love to get into some mischief and play around! They are a true joy to have around.
