Descrição
We are looking for someone who can join us during the following period.
after March 8th
我们是一对日本夫妇。 如果您来自亚洲并且不会说英语也没关系。Tidak apa-apa meskipun Anda tidak bisa berbahasa Inggris atau Jepang.
We share our home with dogs, and one of them may occasionally join you in bed. If you are uncomfortable sleeping with dogs, please refrain from applying.
**Important Considerations for Applicants Applying between June - October:**
Please be aware that our house experiences high temperatures during the summer months. Air conditioning is only available on the first floor; the second floor can become extremely hot and humid, resembling a sauna. Only applicants who can handle the heat can apply.
For dog walking, you must depart either between 5:00 AM and 5:30 AM or after 6:00 PM due to local regulations or other constraints. Applicants must be able to adhere to these schedules.
If you meet these requirements, we welcome your application.
=========================
Looking for a household helper to stay in exchange for accommodation!
We are a Japanese couple living in Juso, just 1 or 2 stops away from Osaka Station by train. We have 3 small rescued dogs who are smart and easy to look after.
We prefer following people
*Reliable
*Mature
*Very clean and tidy
*Dog lover with physical strength (able to walk 10km every day)
*Non-smoker
*Non-partygoer
(It's fine if you go out at night, but then not being able to wake up and do the laundry is not acceptable.)
*Can shower every night, including rinsing your hair (Coz my husband and one of our dogs have asthma)
*Not a fussy eater (We cannot accommodate specific dietary restrictions such as vegetarian, vegan, or pescatarian diets, nor can we prepare meals for those who avoid vegetables, pork, mushrooms, or fish. However, if you are willing to eat outside or buy your own meals, please contact us first to discuss.)
*Please let us know if you are good at cleaning.
*A person who is able to express gratitude for what others have done for them.
(I don’t want takers who only take without showing gratitude. I value individuals who can genuinely express appreciation and recognize the efforts of others.)
A stay of about 2 weeks is fine, though if we both feel comfortable, you can stay longer. We sometimes take workawayers to travel to different cities. If you like to travel around Osaka, you can join us. :)
Please note that you might have to share a room with another workawayer, depending on the schedule.

We vist many places when Muko is off, u can join us if u like. Also, I am really good at cooking so if you have a chance you can learn cooking Japanese foods from me.
Ajuda
We are looking for someone who can do housework such as cleaning and laundry. Our dogs walk or run around 10km per day, so you need a lot of physical strength (you can use a bicycle if you find it too hard to walk). Usually, I take them for a walk after work, wash and dry them, then start cooking and cleaning. I finish all these tasks within 3 to 4 hours, but it will depend on how fast you work.
Your help will include:
*Laundry (dry and fold)
*Taking care of our dogs (walk, wash, and dry them)
*Washing dishes
*Cleaning and organizing
We have three rescued dogs in total:
Hanavi had heart disease and underwent surgery.
Hotaru currently has asthma, so we keep our rooms clean and give them a shower when they come back from outside. People need to wash their clothes every day and shower every night.
Matsuri sometimes has epileptic seizures. She loves to run, but when she has cramps, it's good to hold her and wait for a while.
The most important task is taking the dogs for a long walk, and this will be the decisive factor in my decision to hire you.Idiomas

I was lucky that Mika was not very busy at the time and she showed me a lot of cool, non-touristy places. Mika has a lot of energy, was always very generous and we had a lot of fun. I immediately took Hanavi, Hotaru and Matsuri to my heart and I really enjoyed my time with the three… read more
My Canadian friends visited from Canada, and we went out for drinks and karaoke together. She loved our dogs, especially Hanavi, and worked incredibly hard.
My cleaning standards are quite high,… read more
As we were two Workawayers during my time, the work itself was not much. It consisted of taking the dogs for at least 1 1/2 hours walk around either 5 a.m. or around 6 p.m., depending of the weather, as well as doing… read more
She took the dogs for long walks every day and loved them as if they were her own babies. I believe she is the type of person people would call flawless… read more
She shared much about her life with me. I've had bad experiences with previous lazy American families, I initially worried, but upon she is a nurse, I felt reassured… read more
Mika runs a Japanese household so except all of the normals of Japanese culture— mainly knowing that cleanliness is extremely important. Some might feel the expectations are high, however growing up in a similarly run household, I felt they were appropriate. You will be expected to wake up early… read more
I was thinking I no longer needed a workawayer because the workaways before her took it for granted that I would help their work, do their laundry and cook for them.
But Lea said "thank you" when I helped her.
That was enough for me to think having workawayers are not bad.
She was a very hard… read more
The previous Workawayer explained and showed all the tasks I would do, but it was no problem for Mika and Muko if I didn't remember everything right away. They explained and showed again and Mika helped me executing when she was not so busy.
We also went out to have lunch… read more
During these 5 weeks, I rendered all kinds of help needed; including daily exercise with the 3 dogs.
I have no pets at home but I fell in love with Matzuri/Hotaru/Hanavi when I first saw them. At… read more
She worked hard. She was very reliable and loved our dogs very much. The dogs loved her too. She had no food preferences except meat and ate all the food I cooked happily. (My job has been extremely busy recently, and I work until late at… read more
My work consists in housekeeping and then walking the dogs and cleaning them. The first times you do it you have many informations to remember and it takes a long time but then you get used to it :)
Mika and Muko were very welcoming. I really appreciated discovering… read more
All my friends also said that she is beautiful.
She is a vegetarian, but she didn't eat at home, and she eats out almost every day so it has been a big help to me since I'm so busy.
She did a good job with the tasks given to her except the washing dishes.
When I asked her why she doesn't wash her dishes… read more
The tasks that I had to do were things such as vacuuming, folding the laundry and walking with the dogs. Although the walk… read more
I have always liked Chinese people and have many friends from China.
However, they were very bad at cleaning and were very dirty, so I suspected Chen would be the same.lol (Sorry Chen...)
But she was the most minimalist of all of workawayers we have ever had and… read more
She is a happy, considerate, friendly, and very kind person.
She had many Japanese friends outside, and she spent most of her time with them.
But she also cherished her time with us, and said she wanted to spend her last day with us, so we did. :)
She makes a lot of jokes and gets along very well with the new Chinese… read more
Mika and Muko are very welcoming and friendly, the dogs are so cute and easy to deal with.
I confirm indeed Mika is a good cook!
You have to work as instructed, but it is a fare exchange as you have accommodation.
And then you have your spare time to visit around, Osaka is well located to go to… read more
She wakes up exactly at 8 a.m., folds the futons, does the laundry, and starts cleaning.
She walked our dogs 10km every day, after wash and dry them she goes for sightseeing in the afternoon, and when she returned in the evening, she… read more
She is a beautiful, intelligent, kind, hard worker, responsible and attentive woman.
I'm sure there are less than 5% of people like her in the human race.
Words are not enough to express how wonderful she is.
She always wakes up around 7:50am and starts washing and cleaning without taking a break.
Then,… read more
I stayed “just” for 12 days, which was definitely too short, but I’m still super grateful at least… read more
She sometimes screams suddenly while watching TV, or raises her hands around her head when she is thinking.
At first I was confused because I didn't know what it was though as I continued to live with her, I gradually came to accept them as part of her… read more

However, she loves animals but probably doesn't like walking the dogs that much.
She usually comes back in about an hour and fifteen minutes from walking.
What we want is taking them walk 10km, but I think she only walks about 4km.
She went sightseeing in various places during the day, and… read more
Usually there are many Workawayers who want to travel alone, but she preferred to go out with me.
I think it deepened our freiendship.
We miss her though hope we can see her again in Australia.
The work is easy enough : cleaning and laundry in the morning, taking… read more
She is a hard worker and she always takes dogs for walking even after traveling to other prefectures. (I told her that she doesn't have to go)
She is a very motivated, energetic and responsible girl.
She helped me make dumplings. Even though it's her first time… read more
Maybe because she was nervous,
she didn't smile much at first, but after a few days she was smiling a lot.
When it was hot outside, she waited until evening before taking the dog for a walk.
She was not very picky, and ate almost anything.
She has no flaws and everything… read more
The work was easy and you quickly got into a routine. The main tasks in the morning were vacuum cleaning, washing and drying laundry, folding clean laundry and tidying up the kitchen. Thorough cleaning of the… read more
She was very funny and produced endless laughter.
We enjoyed life together as a family.
Coz she doesn't like fish, eggs, and mushrooms, so I had a hard time thinking of cooking.
But apparently she likes dashi (fish stock) soup.
She can walk very long distances.
Every day she walked 10km or more with my… read more
In the beginning, she didn't know what to do because I didn't give much instruction on cleaning. Because I usually have experienced people so I didn't think about it. I didn't tell her when I was dissatisfied when she doesn't help cooking or she goof off during we are cleaning together… read more
Both of them were extremely kind and welcoming, so I felt at home immediately.
The work they assigned me was fairly easy and didn't take long to finish, and I really enjoyed taking the dogs for a walk or a run near the river. Both Hanabi and Hotaru have… read more
She was so nice to our dogs and look after them really well.
She eats anything that was really easy to feed her. :) She is such a pretty girl and very friendly.

We visited many places together. The Ramen factory was really forgettable.
We highly recommend to have Zoe. She is funny, very responsible and… read more
She is pescatarian. If we use meat for our dish she just avoid eating meat.
So we could eat almost everything together.
She did every works properly.
Even though it was really cold outside, she have never been lazy to take dogs for a walk. It was her first time to wash dishes without using a dishwasher but she tried her… read more
She loved all Japanese food even Konjac, Natto, Tofu, fish eggs, and Mochi which a lot of westerns do not like.
She lost her mother when she was young. I understand how hard to look after a member of the family by herself and also losing is even harder I guess.
So I want her to have a great… read more
She is nice and very soft personality.
She stayed only 3 days but it was very memorable.
She took our dogs for a trip.
I believe they really enjoyed time with you.
She tried almost any Japanese food.
I know it was not long enough to know each other but I really like Marieke.
We hope to see her again.
We haven't got this much hard worker ever.
She is very neat and tidy. She cleans everywhere. She cooked a very nice dinner for us.
She is very active. She takes our dogs for a walk twice a day and both of the walks are very very long walks.
Hanavi and Hotaru sleep very good… read more
She tries to understand Japanese culture and follow the rules.
She is a hard worker. Even though it wasn't very easy to look after 2 dogs and clean the house properly, she always did her best.
We went on a road trip together is an unforgettable memory.

She is such a nice thoughtful person. I never really needed to tell her what to do.
She knows what she has to do. When I first met her, I was worried because she is Australian because I have lived there and I know a lot of messy people from Australia.
But she was very responsive and did the… read more
They took me into their home and treated me like one of their long lost friends :)
The work that they have, in exchange for living with them, is minimal and easy to do. I would finish the work in about an hour and have time for myself to explore the city or take a train to a… read more
Muko loves teasing her because she makes such a cute face when he does.
She really loves our dogs and I could see she loves animals in the way she treats our dogs.

Alex was a really lovely person who is easy going, friendly and also very smart. We had a lot of discussion about different countries custom and histories. She always had direct opinions.
She is very honest. If she doesn't like our food, she will tell us but she always tries the food before she decides. I love the… read more
Mika and Muko were great host for me. I looked after their elderly dog Chiyo until she died and other little lovely dog Hana.
I never felt myself like I’m working at their home. They were always nice and helpful to me. So I felt myself like a part of this lovely family.
Mika is a great cook, she… read more
