The Experience
I need a house and dog sitter from June 10-July 20. I have 4 adopted street dogs, one with only 3 legs. This is an eco house with limited electricity, a well for water, a gravity feed shower, and a bucket compost toilet. I live 3km outside of town, there will be 1 bike available to be used. I need to travel to Europe to spread ashes of a friend, I will be online for any issues when I have internet access.

This house was a great place to stay, a beautiful house tucked deep in the natural lush land of Utila. The dogs are sweet and fun to bring for walks on the trails surrounding the house and it's a good way to explore a part of the island that you wouldn't explore otherwise. Garden/house work is not strenuous but takes a bit of explanation to understand the proper way to get it done. Would stay here again !
