Why I want to house sit

I dont like much hotels and breakfast buffets, but i love travelling, animals, nature and to meet the locals.

My experience

Through childhood, we always had animals, horses, poultry, cats and dogs. I was working 2 years on a cattle farm., later became a chef. One season i was working for a packstation in california, riding with clients into the mountains. I was also working construction and am good with tools. I love gardenwork. I am a nature lover.
I am fluent in german, english, french and have basic spanish knowledge

    Matthias was perfect with the cat, the plants and the house! He is a very nice person, and you can see how much he likes animals. He really made sure we were reassured and that we could leave home confident everything will be fine. During our holidays we had a problem and we needed him to do something for us. He did his best to help us and tremendously helped. It was great having him and the cats are surely going to miss him! The house was super clean when we came back, even cleaner than how I had left it! Thank you Matthias! And I hope more pets will enjoy having you around!
