  Description

  I am an English lady who has a lovely villa style two bedroom house with splendid views of the mountains in rural Bulgaria a mile from the local village of Ravnishte. During my 9 years here I have gathered a small collection of 12 street dogs and 2 cats. Some of the dogs live in outside accommodation close to the house but 4 are house pets. They are all however much loved pets who I have now had for several years with an age range of 6 to 13.
  
  In the last few days however a young doggie Mum and her 2 , 4 week old babies have been dumped on my street. Having taken them in I am now looking for someone to help out as I do have to work several hours a day.
  
  Duties will include helping out with cooking and some cleaning around the house and taking over some of the animal care, such as daily walking, and feeding which is once a day whilst I am sometimes working. Spending some time socialising our new mum and her babies too as they will be going to homes in the U.K. and providing lots of love to everyone. There is no more than 15 hours work in the course of a week.
  This opportunity is suitable for someone who has lots of multiple dog experience, is able to take care of puppies and is used to helping care of a home.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  On this experience a traveller can enjoy the great outdoors of the Bulgarian countryside and its nature. There are plenty of places to hike. Nighttime is perfect for stargazing as there is no light pollution. There is the chance to learn Bulgarian with local people. As the car is available if you have a licence you will be able to explore the locality.
  This is a sit for people who link to live a clean and tidy existence but are also entirely happy and familiar with real countryside living. We are a household that operates a stout boot, wellie and comfort clothes vibe.
