Description
HELP In SUMMER

From 20 of June til 6.7 i would need a housesitter

You are not alone in the house, but the Person is working

You should like animals, if not stay away

I live 50 kilometers from Bremen and nearly 30 kilometers to
Bremerhaven.
There is a train station 2 km . Stubben

I have 2 lovely dogs, 4 Icelandic horses,cats ,chicken
So there is always something to do.

You should be waterproof and don't mind do get your hands dirty.

You should be able to work alone and not only 15 minutes before i come home.

You should be able to carry a whellbarrow and not be afraid for dead mouses....

Or you really like to cook and clean.

The work is cleaning the horses, bring in and out of the green field.
Help to clean the chicken and sheeps.
Walk with dogs, help in the house or outside it depends on the weather.
Painting the fence,gardening,brushing...helping with my 2 bnb rooms.

Myself I am very interestet to meet people from all over the world.
But I stay here with my dogs and horses.So I like it to have people here, from all over the world.

In Bremerhaven there are special museums about ships(Deutsches Schiffahrtsmuseum),to emigrate( Deutsches Auswandererhaus ), about climate(das Klimahaus)
a small zoo,so many things to see.

In Bremen there are a lot of museeums,music and art.
A nice old market place with rathaus and the big old church.
In Bremen there is also a small old town part without cars called Schnorr.

So come and have a look on the countryside from north-west Germany.

We do not eat a lot of meat, i have my own eggs and milk from happy cows .
I get vegetables from an organic farm.

Greetings

We've been at Meike's house for 10 days and have had a great time. We have been able to be surrounded by nature and take a lot of fresh air (the work is simple so we have had a lot of free time). Meike's house is very comfortable and she is always available for anything, she has even cooked us typical German food. We have felt very comfortable!… read more

Different kind of work: garden work, cleaning animal area, painting. The food is very good and enjoyed having lunch and dinner with Meike and Nik. The animals are friendly,… read more

I had lots of fun looking after the animals, going for walks in the beautiful countryside, riding, and spending time with Meike and Nikolas. The horses are also very friendly and well behaved.

I stayed with Meike for a few weeks and it was way to short! Meike is a great host and a wonderful person :) I enjoyed the work and the company. Litla and Tommy walks were such fun and working with the horses in the morning was always a great start of the day. I definitely recommend staying with Meike and her adorable animals!
