I had the incredible opportunity to volunteer at the host for three months. And it was an experience I'll always cherish. The apartment itself is spacious and clean. Natasha and the full time sitters are not only wonderful people but also incredibly kind-hearted and passionate about their work. During my time here, I dedicated 3 days a week from 9 to 6. The tasks included cleaning the kennels, general cleaning, playing with the dogs, going outside with the dogs. Every day you work Natasha provides you with a delicious local lunch. I wholeheartedly recommend staying here!

I have had such a wonderful month in Taiwan at the host. The managers and workers are all lovely! The work is hard and can be very tiring but it's typically just 3 days a week so you have time to rest. It was such a good way to experience Taiwan, and have a routine and daily life as opposed to a holiday. I will miss it terribly and am super grateful for the experience.

I had such a great time at the shelter! This was my first worldpackers experience and it was wonderful. The hosts and staff were all really sweet and great at making sure the volunteers knew how things work and keeping us in the loop on everything. The accommodation is a small apartment about a 40 min bus ride away from the shop, the commute is quite easy. It's also easy to get from the accommodation into Taipei on days off when you want to go explore and do tourist-y things! All the volunteers are in the same building so it was nice to have people to commute to and from work with!
