Help with petsitting and language exchange near the Black Forest in Ortenberg, Germany

  Description

  Located in the heart of the Black Forest, it’s the perfect place for hiking. I just love going for walks with my dog and being right in nature. You’re immediately surrounded by the forest and can enjoy views stretching all the way to France. It’s just as possible to be right by the water, taking a relaxing walk along the Kinzig River. Additionally, there are many beautiful small historic towns nearby that are worth visiting. If you want, you can also quickly get to France or Switzerland.
  
  I work as a caregiver in a residential home and really enjoy my job. I'm open to many topics. At the moment, I sing a lot, especially mantras. I enjoy playing games, meeting people, or furthering my education in my free time. Sometimes, I simply like staying at home with my two cats and my dogs, cooking something delicious. Nutrition is also an important topic for me, and I love cooking vegetarian. I currently live alone in a larger apartment and have a guest room with a private bathroom available, which I’d be happy to offer.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I could offer you the opportunity to visit my workplace and spend a day with the children if that’s something you’d like. I can show you around the area or recommend hotspots where you can meet people.
  
  The skills I can share include cooking, some technical skills, the German language, handling dogs and cats, and insights into personal development, which is a topic I’m very passionate about.
  
  I’d love to experience other cultures and perspectives, improve my English skills, and build social connections around the world.

  Help

  My dog is very easygoing in the apartment and loves to cuddle. Unfortunately, I can’t take him to work, so I’d need someone to look after him in the apartment and take him for walks two days a week. I’d also enjoy cooking or going for walks together with someone from time to time. I enjoy singing together with others, playing various games, or exchanging ideas on different topics.

  Accommodation

  A guest room of about 15 square meters is available, equipped with a desk, a wardrobe, and a direct view of nature. The room is somewhat separated and has its own private toilet. The bathroom, kitchen, and living room would be shared, and I place great importance on leaving spaces as clean and tidy as you found them.
  
  For food storage, I can provide you with one or two shelves. The apartment is generally quite spacious, so there’s plenty of room for both of us, as well as the option to have some privacy. I would appreciate some help with household tasks to keep the apartment neat and organized.

  What else ...

  On-site, I could provide you with my bicycle, and you can use the local public transportation, which makes it easy to get around. I can also take you along for grocery shopping.
  
  I primarily work in the evenings and am usually at home in the mornings. Due to my various hobbies, there might be times when I’m not at home much. Every second Friday, I have a day off and enjoy a longer weekend.
  
  In the house, I don’t allow drugs or alcohol and prefer people who follow a vegetarian diet.

  Can possibly accept pets

  If you bring a dog, it should be comfortable around cats, as there are two cats living in the apartment. Additionally, the dog should have basic training and not bark loudly or for extended periods. Any other types of pets can be discussed in advance.
