  Descrição

  ================
  I will be looking for help in the spring. Starting end of February or beginng of March.
  ================
  I am a dog breeder, with a small program. I have 10 dogs that live 1/2 in the house and 1/2 in an out building. There are daily tasks that require little skill but do take a couple hours. Daily duties include cleaning, feeding, walking, light house help and general yard help dependent on the season. Workaways are expected to help 25 hrs per week spread out over 5 days with 2 days off.
  
  I am located close to town but very private, there are lakes and ocean all around us. Olympic Peninsula area is very green and beautiful. Seattle is about 60 miles from me but the alternative route which involves a beautiful ferry ride is only 40 miles away. If you love nature this area is a must see with many trails and hiking opportunities for all levels of activity. I also have 2 kayaks and there are plenty opportunities to paddle around the many water ways, as my workaway you are able to use or come with me.
  
  My workaway experiences all start on a trial basis for two to three weeks to see if we are a good fit, duration can be renegotiated for a longer period if desired. I am very big on communication between myself and workawayers. You are welcome to explore Washington on your free time but when leaving and returning to the property you must advise me to ensure all dogs are safe and not going to be in the way or escape.
  I am not open to people who smoke cigarettes or heavy drinkers. Unfortunately I can not accept anyone with pet.

There is a queen size bed and a living room area,T.V.,radio, as well as a kitchen and bathroom with a shower. My property is fenced and gated with a lock for security.
