Description
Hi there,
I am Julius, 36 years old. Living currently in the Netherlands for 10 years. Prior to that I lived 3 years in Austria and after some short spells in Spain, Greece, UK, Czech Republic I can say I am well travelled. I used to work as football coach, and as hotel employee for quite some time. So, I do love help others, and I am also very well in service. What I love to do now is to meet new people, places, and cultures. At the same time, as I have started my online venture I am very keen to do house sitting where I would be super happy to help house owners with daily house routines, Even though I have spent the last decade in city, I always visited family in rural areas, as I do love nature and spending time in peacuful areas in general. I have stayed a while in Spain, where I did stay in farmhouse in Fuerteventura, February-March 2025. (It was basically workaway experience, but I got the opportunity via the property owner directly and not via the website. ) I loved the experience. I also have stayed in hostel, where I did another workaway experience, helping international guests with check in, showing around and connecting, and I loved it too, so I am quite flexible, open and ready to connect with people of different background.

So, as said I have experience with farmhouse, where plants, veggies, animals and some construction work took place. As well as, I did hostel experience, where basic house errands, like cleaning, cooking and also socializing and meeting new people took place. I love spending time with animals, and in the nature. I am open to do small construction work, farming/gardening and taking care of house in general (cooking, etc).

Outstanding House Sitters – Highly Recommended!

We were incredibly lucky to have Julius and Helene as house sitters at our home in Stroheim, and we can wholeheartedly recommend them. Both of them are truly warm and kind people. Julius stayed with us for the full four weeks, and I had the pleasure of meeting him in person – we even spent one… read more

I stayed 4 weeks ,my girlfriend stayed 1 week with me in this beautiful house in Stroheim and what can I say?

It was an amazing experience.

First of all, the location is amazing, surrounded by a couple of houses only (which gives you quiet time and is ideal if you need to focus on your online work for instance ) , the near forest and open… read more land, ensures you’re very close to nature. Also only a short bike ride away there are some old castle ruins, local viewpoints and the amazing Danube river and its biking path gives you enough options to explore the amazing area.

As for the house, it has a very modern design and you can feel it was done with love. There's a big garden, with fresh vegetables and some chill areas like big lounges and hammocks. So eating outside or admiring stars on night skies were activities we enjoyed as well.

What we loved were the animals. They gave you the feeling you’re not alone and they also are very adorable. Especially the cat Nala, who was around a lot and we loved her. Judging from her behaviour, the love was both sided😊But in nutshell to take care of them isn’t very hard, yet it shall be done regularly.

And as for the hosts? We can barely imagine better ones. From the first day(when Judith came with her car to pick me up from Alkoven station and later served me some delicious homemade food, and gave me a house tour) they were just amazing.
The communication was outstanding. We received daily video updates from their holiday which was a cute way to stay in touch, but obviously they communicated well, in depth and promptly when something was important. That way we always feel we can reach out if something annoying happens.

We also received tips on trips from Oliver and Judith, while we were there and this was definitely of a big help. And even though we visited a lot of places, there were too few left from their list, we didn’t have the chance to see. So maybe we really need to come once again. 😊

To summarise it: if you search for some quiet time, surrounded by amazing nature, lovely animals and a big garden, while shooting and communicating with great hosts, this is a place you have to be. One note, you might consider coming with a car. Or be prepared to bike a steep hill up (for me it was doable) but I'm a very sporty person and it was challenging for me too.
Sending greetings to Judith, Oliver,Rosa and Nala guys. We are staying in touch ❤️
