Description
Ich bin ein sehr aktiver und unternehmungslustiger Mann (Manager für Sicherheit, Gesundheit und Qualität in einem internationalen Konzern), der der Natur sehr nahe steht und ein großes Herz für Tiere hat.
Meine Frau vertreibt biologisch artgerechtes Futter (BARF) für Hunde und Katzen. Wenn ich Zeit habe, helfe ich meiner Frau bei allem im Laden.
Ich habe vor vielen Jahren in der Landwirtschaft (Tier- und Pflanzenproduktion) gearbeitet und mein Studium der Agronomie abgeschlossen.
Durch meine vergangenen und aktuellen Tätigkeiten habe ich eine große Verbundenheit mit der Natur und ein Gespür für Hunde und Katzen entwickelt.
Ich habe 2 wunderschöne Hunde (Französische Bulldogge) und 1 liebe Katze.

We had the pleasure of Uwe volontiering at our place. Uwe is hard-working who always found work without our instractions - a real pleasure to work with.
Thank you Uwe for all your work and interesting discussions, we were happy to have you at our place and have you now as a friend.

My stay at Jean and Clover was fabulous. They have a beautiful house on a wonderful property on Prince Edward Island (in between the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the Northumberland Strait).

Uwe was an amazing Workawayer. He provided invaluable assistance with my Chocolate Labrador Retriever (Clover). Uwe provided advice on Clover's behaviour (when Clover would take things to chew), exercise (Uwe would take Clover out for long walks as well as for short walks to do his business) and helped when I had to give medical treatment to… read more

Uwe is everything previous hosts have said about him. He most definitely is a very hard worker, (often unstoppable), arrived very well-prepared to work on a ranch, and discreet with regard to our privacy. He helped in weedwhacking, removing weeds and thistles, prepping and painting our gate. He was also kind to our animals. As a bonus, he brought… read more

The job itself was interesting, diversified and light to handle.

Uwe was booked in here approx 6 month in advance because his profile sounded exactly what I needed. He didn't disappoint in any aspect.
He is extremely responsible I was able to leave everything to him without having to give it a second thought. It is great to be able to have someone to depend on with the animals - do my thinking for me.
