This is a domestic situation, helping to caring for our pets and home, it is not a commercial position and our au pairs live very much as part of the family and take part in all our canine interests.

Life at Mastamariner is all about dogs, over the years our au pair / dog carers have become involved in dog training, agility, grooming, obedience, showing, gundog work and handling as well getting involved in village life and having a lot of fun. Most of our au pair / dog carers take time here to learn or practice a particular aspect of canine care, some come just to be with dogs and take time away from the frantic pace mainstream life. Most years those that can, try to get back for Crufts and we have a bit of a party. Most stay in touch over the years and come back for holidays and visits, it is all part of life at Mastamariner.

These pages will tell you about life here at Mastamariner, what we expect of our au pair / dog carers and what our dog carer au pairs can expect to see, learn and enjoy. If you are used to working in kennels where dogs are just inmates to be worked, shown, bred and passed on if they don't make the grade you will find Mastamariner very different. We don't have winners and losers, we have a family where everyone joins in and everyone counts regardless of awards, trophies, working or breeding achievements.

For our au pair / dog carers all living costs are met and in addition each receives weekly pocket money.

Au pairs Dog trainer must be able to come for a minimum of 9 months, arrange their own travel to and from the UK and provide their own insurance for their stay.
