Walking a golden retriever and gardening in the beautiful country retreat of Maryland, United States

  Description

  I am a filmmaker working between the U.S. and France, currently living in the countryside in Maryland near Washington D.C.. I grew up in South America and Asia, speak multiple languages and am interested in film, photography, languages, hiking, qi gong, literature, poetry, cooking, and music.
  
  This is a rural area of forests, rivers, and lots of wildlife (deer, turkeys, foxes, birds). You would mainly be taking care of a sweet english golden retriever, and also planting flower seeds and bulbs and doing some cooking. It is also possible to join us for qi gong sessions if you want.
  
  There is a large house in a 4 acre piece of land with large fields and woods behind the house with walking trails. It is located about 20 minutes drive from Washington D.C., and 5 minutes from a 500 acre bird sanctuary and river park.
  
  The main house has one floor which you would have to yourself where you can stay comfortably and have your privacy. You would have your own bathroom with bath and shower on that floor, along with central heating plus a woodstove and various video streaming devices.

  Aide

  The main help we need is taking care of our dog Nico who is a 12 year old english golden retriever. It is difficult for me to walk him now so we are looking for help with taking Nico on 15 minute walks three times a day.

  Hébergement

  The main house has three floors and you would have one floor of the house to yourself so you would have privacy when you want it. You would have your own bathroom with bath and shower on that floor, along with central heating plus a woodstove and various video streaming devices. We would take turns preparing meals and all costs for food are covered.
  
  The place allows you to connect with nature while enjoying the forests, rivers, the wildlife (deer, turkeys, foxes, birds), taking care of a sweet english golden retriever, do some gardening, and cooking, and plant flower seeds and bulbs. It is also possible to join us for qi gong sessions if you want.
  
  There is a large house in a 4 acre piece of land with large fields and woods behind the house that you can walk in. It is located about 20 minutes drive from Washington D.C., and 5 minutes from a 500 acre bird sanctuary and river park. If you have a driver's license you can drive the car here.
