Beschreibung
Hello,
my name is Konstantin but most people call me Carlos (since a reporter misspelled my name in the local newspaper almost 15 years ago, the name has caught on).
I don't need much in life to be happy. In my opinion, the best moments in life are spent in nature. I like traveling. I am fascinated by the diversity of nature. So far, I have been thrilled by the forests of the Azores, the vast landscapes of South Africa and Siberia and a glacier in Norway. I love observing nature and discovering wildlife. Even as a child, I spent a lot of time in the woods. I like to go fishing with friends for several days, sleeping in the open air even when it's freezing is fun with the right equipment, and making bonfire.
I am hard-working and, at almost 2 meters tall, I am an averagely strong man with stamina. My wife says that what makes me special is my willpower, because I don't give up easily and can be as stubborn as a donkey.
I am calm and even-tempered, which is why I get on well with animals, but also with people :)

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Dog-sitting my Newfoundland ...)

The time with the dogs was a great gift for me, it was all about the dogs!

I had my first workaway experience with Markus. I spent 5 weeks with Markus and Angelina. They are both very friendly and helpful people. I always felt welcome here. I enjoyed my time with Markus and it was a very nice and interesting time for me. I didn't have much… read more experience with dogs before. But Markus explained everything to me very well and clearly. After just a few days, I was able to look after the dogs myself and took care of them all day long. Markus really likes his dogs and only wants the best for them. Some of them are rescued dogs that have suffered a lot in their lives from humans. The dogs are all very lovely animals. With a few treats you can find a place in their hearts very easily. My daily goal was to make the dogs' lives a little better every day.

There is a certain daily routine that you should stick to. But there is still enough free time for you personally every day. Even though I spent almost every free moment of my 5 weeks with the dogs and enjoyed farm life to the full. Markus is at work during the week and sometimes he can be away for several days. So you are responsible for making sure the dogs are well. That's why Markus must be able to rely on you.
A daily routine looks something like this: At 6:45 the dogs are fed for the first time. So you can't sleep for long and should have no problem getting up relatively early. After feeding, the boxes are cleaned for the first time. This includes collecting the dog's excrement with a shovel. Given the number of dogs, there is a lot of excrement every day. Afterwards, you are free to organize your time until the evening. However, it is best to collect the droppings throughout the day so that the dogs always have a clean place to live. You should also make sure that the dogs have enough water to drink throughout the day. The dogs should be taken to a large fenced-in area at least twice a day so that they can run and play. But they are also happy if you let them run there more than twice a day. When the dogs are in this fenced-in area, you have to make sure that they don't escape. I spent a lot of time playing with the dogs, stroking them and building up a bond to all of them. That was a great gift for me. The second feeding takes place at 17:45. After that, the dogs are taken care of and you can have a free evening. You also have time to take breaks during the day. The property includes a lake that you can walk to. During the day you can also look after the chickens. There is always enough to do. You can live out a life as a farmer here. I really enjoyed being outside almost all day, spending time with the animals or doing a bit of manual work. If I saw something that needed doing (repairing the fence, clearing out the barn, filling the dog boxes with new straw) I talked to Markus about my plans and was then able to let off steam freely, Markus is happy if you recognize what needs to be done yourself, you shouldn't wait for Markus to tell you everything.
It is important to mention that you should only come here if you are prepared to take responsibility. It should be clear to you personally that there is a lot of work to do every day with this number of dogs. You are responsible for ensuring that the dogs are well and this is the most important thing for Markus.
At the weekends, you have time to explore the surrounding area or do whatever you want. There is a shop about 40 minutes away on foot as well as the train station. But Markus always asks if you need anything from the shop and then brings it to you. He also takes you to the train station and picks you up if he has time.
Last but not least what I really enjoyed was being able to enjoy Angelina's excellent cooking skills.
