  Descrição

  We are a small, friendly couple with three wonderful dogs and one lovely cat, living on the quiet, green edge of Amsterdam — countryside vibes right at the city border. Only 5 km to the lively centre by bike, 20 km to the beach, and sports fields (football, tennis, padel) next door.
  
  We are looking for a reliable, hands-on helper to join our relaxed daily routine.
  In exchange for a comfortable private room and all home-cooked meals:
  You walk one friendly dog every day (lovely routes in the neighbourhood and parks, about 2 hours in total on a normal day).
  On regular days this is twice a day, plus a daily wet clean / mop of half the house
  
  
  Plenty of free time for yourself, cycling, exploring Amsterdam, and relaxing
  A warm, open-minded family atmosphere with good conversations
  If you enjoy dogs, cats, simple home care, fresh air, and a peaceful spot with easy city access — we would love to welcome you.
  Looking forward to meeting new friends.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  Social activities where you can connect with us and the local community
  We often go for long walk along the peaceful paths right outside our gate — sometimes heading into the lively center of Amsterdam for a canal walk, or to explore markets and street food. Other times we go by car and then for walk the other way to the nearby beach for fresh sea air. You're very welcome to join us on these outings!
  The skills and knowledge we can share with you
  Living in an old farmhouse surrounded by nature, we can show you practical Dutch countryside living: how to cycle safely and efficiently everywhere (it's basically a national sport here!). We're happy to teach you useful Dutch phrases for daily life, share stories about local history and traditions, or explain how things work in the Netherlands.
  What we hope to learn by hosting people from different cultures
  We don't travel as much as we'd like these days because of our home and dogs, so having Workawayers here is our window to the world! We're genuinely curious about your home country — your food, music, traditions, daily routines, funny cultural differences, or even challenges you face back home.
  If you're open-minded, enjoy animals and nature, and like a mix of calm rural days with easy access to city energy, we'd be thrilled to welcome you into our little family! 😊
