Location: galicia, spain
I am Rosie, an easy going, bubbly wannabe DIY queen (still learning how to use the tools but hey, anything is possible!) and full-time remote worker!I have rescued 5 dogs from the streets of Morocco and moved into an old house in Lugo (Galicia, Spain) to give them safety and a real forever home.
We are looking for an awesome human to join us for ideally a few months (longer term also works for us) and help us with the garden so we can grow food, and with repairs and restoration.
Im looking for practical, positive people with building and gardening skills who enjoy hands-on work, rural living in a stunning location (but with amenities close by), and are comfortable with dogs (and dog hair. Everywhere!)
I think we can all benefit from a kinder, more compassionate and community focused World.
WORKING ARRANGEMENT
Tasks we may need help with include:
- Cleaning the grounds to create our food garden
- Sowing, tendering to seedlings
- General handyman and building work
- Carpentry and basic wood repairs
- Anything else you can help with, like doggie walking, playing, and throwing a ball for Maya to catch a million times a day!
What you receive in this exchange:
- Free accommodation
- Three vegetarian meals per day (you might need to cook for yourself during the day as I work)
- A calm environment
- Meaningful contribution to a cause.
It's not a job but there needs to be structure so I am offering a clear exchange of 20 hours per week, over 4/5 days. Flexible.
I am looking for people that genuinely want to help the dogs and that have their own financial means to support themselves as the exchange covers food and accommodation (including internet, gas, electricity, 3 vegetarian meals a day) only.
We will do what we can to help you in return, wit anything we can help you with. The dogs promise to behave!
We would love for you to feel a part of the pack and feel welcome here.
LIVING ARRANGEMENT
The house has 4 bedrooms and You will have your own room - shared with one or two of the doggos.
Staying here with us offers a genuine experience of rural Galician life in the Lugo, Ribeira Sacra region, an area known for its rivers, forests, friendly locals and traditional villages.
The house is close to the Sil and Mi river valleys, with trekking and walking routes nearby, as well as a local river beach for swimming and relaxing in warmer months.
Daily life follows a natural rhythm, centred around the dogs, and practical work.
The exchange is based on simple living, mutual respect, and shared work, rather than tourism or nightlife, and suits people who are dog lovers, enjoy getting things done, feel comfortable with this exchange, and enjoy quiet rural environments.
My aim is to exchange skills through everyday life and do some good in this World.
