  Description

  We are a married couple who have been living in Toronto since May 2019. My husband is a special needs educator and teacher who is currently working in Vancouver but will be returning home in July. I am a professional hair stylist and work at a salon for 4-5 days a week.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Our mother tongue is Hungarian and we are fluent in English. We can help practice these languages with anyone who wants to learn. Additionally, when my husband is in Toronto, he can also practice speaking Slovakian. We both love cooking and can share some Hungarian cuisine with our guests.

  Help

  We are currently seeking a responsible person or couple who can take care of our two adorable basset hounds during the afternoon and evening hours. The job is quite simple and would entail walking the dogs for around 60 minutes each afternoon, usually between 4-5 pm, and spending time playing with them in our apartment afterwards. If you happen to be home during the day, you would simply need to let them out to the backyard patio to do their business and clean up after them once they are finished.
  
  This position would require approximately up to 2-3 hours of work per day, but it can be quite flexible. We are in a situation where my husband is currently away, and I am unable to be home to take care of the dogs and follow their daily routine. However, when my husband is home, you would not be required to do anything.
  
  In exchange for your services, we can offer you a comfortable room with shared bathroom facilities, as well as some food. If you are interested in this opportunity and feel that you would be a good fit for our family and our furry friends, please let us know as soon as possible. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
