    English

    We live in a lovely neighborhood of Reykjavík, close enough to the city center to enjoy its culture, cafés, and colorful street life, yet peaceful enough to feel connected to nature. From our place, you can easily explore the city’s museums, music scene, and swimming pools, or take a short trip to experience Iceland’s wild landscapes — waterfalls, hot springs, and volcanic views are never far away!

    I share my home with two wonderful dogs who bring so much love, laughter, and energy to my days. They both have big personalities and are a huge part of my life.
    Ves- affectionate, playful, and always excited for walks and adventures. Loves meeting new people and getting plenty of attention.
    Hercules – gentle, calm, and happiest when curled up nearby or enjoying a quiet cuddle.
    And I need someone to walk them sometimes once a day. Drive me to work and drive me to the horse stables

    German:
    Ich lebe in einer schönen Nachbarschaft in Reykjavík, nah genug am Stadtzentrum, um die Kultur, Cafés und das bunte Straßenleben zu genießen, aber dennoch ruhig genug, um sich mit der Natur verbunden zu fühlen. Von hier aus kann man leicht die Museen der Stadt, die Musikszene und die Schwimmbäder erkunden oder kurze Ausflüge in die wilde isländische Landschaft unternehmen – Wasserfälle, heiße Quellen und Vulkanausblicke sind nie weit entfernt!

    Ich teile mein Zuhause mit zwei wunderbaren Hunden, die so viel Liebe, Freude und Energie in meinen Alltag bringen. Sie haben beide große Persönlichkeiten und sind ein wichtiger Teil meines Lebens.
    • Ves – liebevoll, verspielt und immer begeistert von Spaziergängen und Abenteuern. Er liebt es, neue Menschen kennenzulernen und Aufmerksamkeit zu bekommen.
    • Hercules – sanft, ruhig und am glücklichsten, wenn er sich in der Nähe zusammenrollt oder einen entspannten Moment zum Kuscheln genießt.

    Und ich brauche jemanden, der sie manchmal einmal am Tag ausführt. Der mich zur Arbeit fährt und mich zu den Pferdeställ bringt.

    I live in a lovely neighbourhood in Reykjavík, close enough to the city centre to enjoy the culture, cafés and colourful street life, but still quiet enough to feel connected to nature. From here, it's easy to explore the city's museums, music scene and swimming pools, or take short trips into the wild Icelandic countryside – waterfalls, hot springs and volcanic views are never far away!

    I share my home with two wonderful dogs who bring so much love, joy and energy to my everyday life. They both have big personalities and are an important part of my life.
    • Ves – affectionate, playful and always excited about walks and adventures. He loves meeting new people and getting attention.
    • Hercules – gentle, calm and happiest when curled up nearby or enjoying a relaxed moment of cuddling.

    And I need someone to walk them sometimes once a day and drive me to work and the horse stables
