Description
Hi and welcome to my profile.
I am Kathe (58) from Denmark.

I am quite new to workaway but as I am an experienced house / pet sitter, I am always happy to take care of animals.
I have taken care of houses, plants, cats, dogs, chickens and many horses, ponies and donkeys .
Horses has always been a part of my life .

Many sits are returning sits. I do Germany, France, Andorra and Spain.
Feel free to contact me if you are in these countries.

I support and do voluntary work for different communities and animal charities.

To balance the house sittings, where I am often alone in rural countryside, I started to do workaways. I find that a great combination.

I am always happy to care for animals and work in the garden.
I can help organize, declutter and get you started selling stuff online.
I have gone though the process downsizing , owning less to live more.

I am a therapist and life coach , used to have my own practice and a vintage jewelry business . I still collect vintage jewelry and buy/sell time to time and in the progress of writing a book about vintage jewelry .

3 Daughters in their 30ties, 1 grandson.

Lover of nature and animals.

Openminded, a mix of intro and extrovert, warmhearted and enjoy good conversations.

Value and practice honesty and kindness in all my relationships.

Active with no health issues, love to swim in the Sea or hike in the Mountains.

Vegetarian and I need a private warm room with a comfortable bed to rewind from the day.

I speak English, some German and working on my French.

As I come with my car, rural location is no problem.
I am happy to go and explore on my own too.

Looking forward to meeting you, help, learn and exchange.

Kathe gave us great support on our small horse farm for three weeks. Whether it's looking after the horses, gardening or taking the dogs for a walk..., she does her “job” with composure and perseverance. We have come to really appreciate her calm and approachable manner. As the time we spent together flew by, we are looking forward to her visit… read more

Kathe is a delightful person. Happy, positive, willing. I invited her to come for a couple of weeks as our holiday home was in need of a deep clean. She was happy to do this, and did so thoroughly, a very boring task! She also house and animal sat whilst we went away for a couple of nights and was brilliant in communicating with us about them. We… read more

I had a lovely 2 weeks stay here . From I arrived, Marie treated me as a friend and I was fully integrated in her daily life. She took me to many nice markets and tourist places, we went on walks with her sweet dog Mollie and I was invited for dinner at her friends place. The weather was not the best but I managed to get some work done in the… read more

Kathe war zwei Wochen bei mir und hat mir viel im Haus und im Garten geholfen. Leider war das Wetter nicht immer sehr gut, aber sie hat trotzdem Gartenarbeit verrichten können. Zu meinem Hund Mollie hatte sie eine besondere Beziehung. Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit miteinander und haben uns gut verstanden. Es gab keinerlei Probleme. Ich hoffe sie… read more

Tom is a great host, even from our first communication he was very welcoming.
He is kind and caring, asking what food I wanted and went shopping. I felt more like a guest than a worker.
I helped painting shutters, helped around the house and in the garden. I also had a lot of time just to enjoy. Evenings often with his lovely cat next to me. His… read more

Kathe stayed with me for a week in October. It was a real pleasure! Kathe arrived on time and worked hard throughout the stay. She assisted with painting shutters, watering the garden, cooking and cleaning. She was also fantastic with the cat and chickens 🐓 🐈. Kathe is a very easy lady to talk to and quite a character! I would have no hesitation… read more

This was a lovely first Workaway experience for me. Anne was very welcoming and the accommodation very nice. Her place is so tranquil and beautiful. I worked mostly independently in the garden and helped in the house and went picking wild blueberries. She was very flexible with my workhours, we had a lot of Fika and interesting conversations. She… read more

Kathe är en härlig kvinna, glad och positiv, öppen och självgående. Hon hjälpte mig i trädgården, inte rädd för att ta i även om det var jobbigt. I hushållet jobbade hon mycket bra och självständigt efter mina önskemål. På fritiden var hon aktiv. intresserad av det trakten kunde erbjuda. Om du kan "fånga in" Kathe är du en lycklig person.

It’s been a real pleasure to have Kathe stay here for the past 3 weeks. She fitted in straight away and was easy to have around the place. The animals loved her, especially Lily one of the dogs who followed Kathe round everyday.
Kathe worked really hard whilst here and just got on with whatever needed doing. She worked on a variety of tasks for… read more
