Description
Hi and welcome to my profile.

I am Kathe (57) from Denmark.

I am quite new to work away but I am an experienced house / pet sitter.
I have taken care of houses, plants, cats, dogs, chickens and many horses, ponies and donkeys , I have had horses of my own most of my life.
Many sits are returning sits.
Last year I went to Germany, France, Andorra and Spain. 2024 will mostly be in France spring and autumn and summer in Denmark and Sweden.

I started housesitting after I lost my beloved Labrador animal friend. I went travelling and downsizing and finally full time travelling. Along the way I meet some lovely animals and humans and some have become good friends.

I am always happy to care for animals and work in the garden. Decluttering and organizing is something I can help with too.
Prior I had a life counseling practice and I had a vintage jewelry business . I still collect vintage jewelry and buy/sell time to time . I am the mother of 3 adult daughters, so I am experienced in running a home.

I am a lover of nature and animals. I am openminded, a mix of intro and extrovert, warmhearted and enjoy good conversations.

I value and practice honesty and kindness in all my relationships.

I am an active women with no health issues, avid hiker and love to swim.

As I come with my car, rural location is no problem.
I am happy to go and explore on my own too.

I am vegetarian and I need a private room with a comfortable bed to rewind from the day.

I speak English and working on my French.

Looking forward to meet you and help, learn and exchange.

Kathe is a delightful person. Happy, positive, willing. I invited her to come for a couple of weeks as our holiday home was in need of a deep clean. She was happy to do this, and did so thoroughly, a very boring task! She also house and animal sat whilst we went away for a couple of nights and was brilliant in communicating with us about them. We… read more

I had a lovely 2 weeks stay here . From I arrived, Marie treated me as a friend and I was fully integrated in her daily life. She took me to many nice markets and tourist places, we went on walks with her sweet dog Mollie and I was invited for dinner at her friends place. The weather was not the best but I managed to get some work done in the… read more

Kathe war zwei Wochen bei mir und hat mir viel im Haus und im Garten geholfen. Leider war das Wetter nicht immer sehr gut, aber sie hat trotzdem Gartenarbeit verrichten können. Zu meinem Hund Mollie hatte sie eine besondere Beziehung. Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit miteinander und haben uns gut verstanden. Es gab keinerlei Probleme. Ich hoffe sie… read more

Tom is a great host, even from our first communication he was very welcoming.
He is kind and caring, asking what food I wanted and went shopping. I felt more like a guest than a worker.
I helped painting shutters, helped around the house and in the garden. I also had a lot of time just to enjoy. Evenings often with his lovely cat next to me. His… read more

Kathe stayed with me for a week in October. It was a real pleasure! Kathe arrived on time and worked hard throughout the stay. She assisted with painting shutters, watering the garden, cooking and cleaning. She was also fantastic with the cat and chickens 🐓 🐈. Kathe is a very easy lady to talk to and quite a character! I would have no hesitation… read more

This was a lovely first Workaway experience for me. Anne was very welcoming and the accommodation very nice. Her place is so tranquil and beautiful. I worked mostly independently in the garden and helped in the house and went picking wild blueberries. She was very flexible with my workhours, we had a lot of Fika and interesting conversations. She… read more

Kathe är en härlig kvinna, glad och positiv, öppen och självgående. Hon hjälpte mig i trädgården, inte rädd för att ta i även om det var jobbigt. I hushållet jobbade hon mycket bra och självständigt efter mina önskemål. På fritiden var hon aktiv. intresserad av det trakten kunde erbjuda. Om du kan "fånga in" Kathe är du en lycklig person.

It’s been a real pleasure to have Kathe stay here for the past 3 weeks. She fitted in straight away and was easy to have around the place. The animals loved her, especially Lily one of the dogs who followed Kathe round everyday.
Kathe worked really hard whilst here and just got on with whatever needed doing. She worked on a variety of tasks for… read more
