Description
I am a German-American young traveler based and working here in Hamburg, Germany, who enjoys hosting couch-surfers, board games, salsa dancing, working out, and now, training my young dog. I often have guests in and out for various amounts of time, where we cook together, see the city together, travel around, or just spend long evenings exchanging travel stories. For more about me, feel free to check out my couchsurfing profile + instagram -ask me for the link!
At the moment I am looking for a person to come by and help me train and live with my young dog, she is a bit over 1 year old, so no longer small in size, but super rambunctious and rebellious. I especially will need support with a few business and family trips coming up where I will have to spend a few days away from home.Types of help and learning opportunities
Animal Care
Help around the house
House sitting
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I offer a suburban city apartment, private room, adorable dog, freedom to take days/times off as you need. Although I cannot provide full board, I can split groceries with you, and cook with/for you as needed. This is a low-commitment workaway, but an opportunity to live and enjoy city living in northern Germany! I myself am German-American, but with experiences from all over the world. If you've never done it before, you will learn what it is like to train dog in an urban environment. Besides that we can collaborate on cooking, workouts, language exchange, or anything else needed.
Help
I am looking for someone who can reliably get integrated into regular life here, so that my young dog can get used to having another person around while I come and go from the apartment. While I am in the city, you are welcome to go away on your own adventures, but there's many weeks where I will be away and am hoping for someone to care for the plants, the dog, and general apartment upkeep. Kind of like a pet-au pair?

You will have your own bed and private space in my extra room. We share a bathroom and kitchen, but you will have privacy in a seperate room to decorate and maintain as you see fit. I can also decorate it for you if you are not traveling with many things! This is an apartment, you will get your own key, so you can come and go as you please.
What else ...
You will have many opportunities to take time off, and exploring Germany are totally things to see and do. Bus, train, metro, and airport are not too far from the apartment itself, so it is easy to move around.
