Description
We are generally looking for workawayers who has experience with dogs to walk them and help us with some cleaning in the house. (If you want to come as a couple or friends let us know and we can see what we can do!)
We’re Tessa, Kalle, Nya and Ize. We are a young family living in a city on the outskirts of Granada. We have 2 dogs and a cat. Due to our active jobs we have little time for the dogs and the housekeeping. It is with that in mind we got into being hosts for workawayers.

We hosted Alejandro and Cristina from the end of November to the beginning of December. The idea was to have them house sit and take care of our animals during our holiday abroad. We had some time with them before we left. They are amazing people! We had an instant click and it felt as if we just had some old friends over to stay. They were very… read more

Realmente fueron días muy lindos en la casa de Tessa y Kalle, junto a la pequeña Nya y los tres Reyes de la casa, Pepe , Maya y Lucky. Estuvimos a cargos de la casa por una semana y nos sentimos realmente cómo en casa en nuestro propio vecindario.

Igor & Evelina, they stayed with us in May this year and we couldn't be happier about their stay. They are both very kind and helpful and they made a delicious Lithuanian dinner for us.

Tessa and Kalle were very kind an generous hosts. Their home is the perfect location to both experience typical Dutch life and get the best out of Amsterdam. The bus leaves right from their house into the city and is very affordable and they also have a bike available for use which you can take into the city or around the area.

Amber stayed with us for more or less 5 weeks in November 2017. Amber is a very kind, easy going and sportive girl and she is a very good cook. She stayed with us to walk the dogs in the weekend and when we where working and do some basic cleaning in the house. We have had many workawayers and many good experiences but this was the first time we… read more

We know it’s late (super late) so sorry!! We stayed with Tessa&Kalle (&Nya,Maya,Pepe&Lucky!!) through December 2017 and it was absolutely wonderful. They are some of the best people and animals you’ll ever meet and we are so thankful to have spent 5 weeks with them, and grateful that they let us into their family. We can not recommend them enough.… read more

Flavia is a fun and lovely person. We loved having her with us. The dogs loved her and she was great with them! She was also great with our daughter :) Flavia did everything we expected and much more! She made some delicious italian dishes. Beware that if you attempt to make an italian dish you will be judged. My lasagna was “ so so” hahahahaha.… read more

As first experience I could not have the best!
I can only say that I have done one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. The place is beautiful, Holland is a magical country. My experience was amazing and possible only thanks to Tessa and Kalle and their baby! A typical Dutch family that will make you feel like home and part of the family!… read more

Clare was an awesome workawayer. She fitted right in. Our pets loved the attention and long walks and the house was spotless during her stay! We would recommend her without hesitation to any family who could use some help!

At first we wouldn't even have considered hosting a couple because it was already so busy with all the animals in our home. But then we met Luci and Israel...wow! instant click!. They emitted an aura of positivity and trustworthiness. A very proactive couple, hard-working and responsible as a team and also individually. They were very independent… read more

Well, what we can tell about these guys...
Luci and I (Israel) were in the same situation as Evita and Yasmin: looking forward for our first Workaway experience... and Tessa and Kalle were nothing less than awesome!
We spent almost three weeks with them, long enough so Lucky, Maya and Pepe could get into our hearts (we miss them already!!!).… read more

Just as for Evita, being with Tessa and Kalle was my first WorkAway experience, and I'm aware of how lucky I was. The two are extremely kind and welcoming, and did their best to help me with whatever it was that I needed help with. Even if reading this sounds a little repetitive, it's true: If you love animals and cuddling dogs, you'll really have… read more

Evita was our first taste of this amazing concept called workaway. She was a very hard-working and pleasant guest who we would gladly accept in to our home again. Our animals loved her and were treated like royalty by Evita (especially our little princess maya :P)
