    Description

    We are looking for a girl with experience with dogs that could take care of a Great Dane.


    My name is Andres, I live with my mother and my 4 years old Dog Dana, we live in San Jose, in a very calm and secure neighborhood (she work from home during the day, during the night my mother leaves the house)

    While I travel, we are looking for 1 volunteer that can stay at home with Dana during the night
    (6pm to 6am). During this “sleeping time”, volunteer do not need to perform any activity or task, just a companion for Dana. Just relax.

    You will have your own small private room with bed, Dana sleeps in my room next to the volunteers room.

    You don’t need to take her to the park, because she is really big and is not a training dog, while I travel, Dana stay at home all the time. My mother will clean Dana’s stuff and will give her the food. Eventually you can change/give her just water if needed.

    My mother goes to the office every Monday and Wednesday (7am to 5pm). We don’t want to leave Dana alone in the home. We kindly ask the volunteer to just stay at home with her during this period of time.

    During the 10 hours (Mon/Wed), you can leave for short periods, so Dana do not get frustrated to be alone. You can go to the Park (we live in front of a big park) so you can enjoy the sun, the threes, walking, run, basketball. Also during this time you can go to a store or supermarket.

    You will have access to the kitchen of course and you will be able to cook your food, we normally eat, rice, beans, bread, pasta, tortillas, vegetables, fruits, chicken and meat mainly.

    We have high speed fiber Internet/ WiFi.

    The rest of the days, my mother work from home, she take care of Dana, so you can enjoy your free time discovering San Jose.

    Dana is a very sweet girl, she love to give protection to the family, she is always watching people at home, calm, she is a very diplomatic dog. She just want love.

    * The volunteer will need some experience with dogs
    * My mother do not speak English, so basic Spanish will be mandatory.
