Kevin was a very original, enthusiastic, intelligent, and interesting person to have around. He is very kind hearted and sincere. He was dedicated to his duties and carried them out with much love. He walked my dog for two long walks each day and cooked supper in the evening.

It was a pleasure having Nazem at our place. A very interesting and kind person to have around. Nazem is very trustworthy. It was very interesting to learn about the Egyptian culture, so very different from ours.
I wish him a lovely tour in Europe and am looking forward to seeing him next year in Egypt for his wedding.

Henry spent 3 weeks at our place and I wish he would stay longer! But unfortunately he wants to see more of the world! Henry is a great guy to have around, very interesting and interested. He is a very good cook, reliable, capable, always open to help, flexible and very easy going. I wish him all the best on his tour discovering the world.

Ari is a very reliable person. He spent two months at my place walking the dogs twice a day and doing some daily household chores. He is a very kind and a very sensitive person.

Ruth is a wonderful and loving host. I had the pleasure to stay with her and her kids & dogs for 2 weeks in September. Most time I spent on my own, when the situation allowed we talked. That was always nice. The dogs are quite a contrast: Bonnie is slow, wants company and needs motivation to go out, Tom is active, more on his own and can't wait to

Elisabeth hat diesen Sommer zwei Wochen mit uns verbracht. Sie hat sich um unsere zwei Hünde gekümmert, leichte Hausarbeit erledigt und manchmal auch Mahlzeite gekocht. Elisabeth ist zuverläüssig, selbständig, fleissig, ehrlich und vor allem eine sehr liebe Person. Ich kann sie nur empfehlen.
