Descripción
We are mother Veru Ellen and daughter Petra Alexandra, nomads travelling the world since 2012, originally from the Czech Republic. We left the Czech Republic about 17 years ago, have lived in different countries in the world on all continents and travelled a lot (60 countries so far). Right now we are in Abruzzo, Italy.
We both have university degree and speak English and Spanish. We work both in person and online as Reiki Teachers, Healers, Feng Shui Consultants, translators, and editors.
We are experienced house and pet sitters with references, too. In the past years, we looked after a lot of dogs, cats, and horses. We are vegans, very friendly and open minded, fit, strong, easygoing, tidy, resourceful, independent, responsible, trustworthy, and like learning new things. We enjoy living in the nature, hiking, yoga, meditation, photography, and meeting new people.
*We are available to house sit in Italy in the next few months, ideally we would like to house sit at a remote location in nature.*
We have a well behaved dog Bella. We found her in the Rhodope Mountains, Bulgaria two years ago. She is a friendly dog and loves playing with other dogs.

Dejado por el workawayer () para el anfitrión (Create a little paradise in ...)

We came to this place to house and cat sit for a month in January/February. The host wanted us to take care of the campsite too, which included cleaning the dry toilet - taking a bag with people's excrements from the toilet to the compost. She said there wouldn't be many of them coming in the low season and if we didn't want to do that at all, she… read more would close the campsite for the month.
The host asked us to arrive 10 days prior as she needed some help. We agreed on working 2-4 hours daily one of us before the house sit starts. The other had to stay with our rescue dog in or around the tent because the host doesn't like dogs in and near the house.
The host didn't communicate clearly and didn’t set her expectations and the tasks. Later she scolded us for not helping her enough. *Redacted* Most of the day she was on the phone, had visitors, or was out. When we found her free to explain tasks, we then helped in and around the house and in the garden, helped to bring drinkable water to the house and drove her to the car mechanic twice. One of us worked during the first weekend too.
*Redacted*
It was a few degrees C above zero in the night in January. The host complained about the consumption of the gas heater in the tent.
The host says in her profile that she welcomes digital nomads but didn't understand that we couldn't be available for her all day long.
The host refused to stop at a specific shop twice while we were in the town, so we couldn't buy our vegan food there.
She said that her partner would come to cut the wood and bring gas bombs and drinkable water at the beginning of the house sit. Later, she said we had to bring all the drinkable water (for drinking, cooking, washing dishes, brushing the teeth) and gas bombs in her very old and very small car that didn't have a technical check. The water from the tap could be used only for showering or cleaning.
The cats were lovely and very friendly and often came near the tent or the outdoor kitchen to be petted.
The day before her departure she said a camper was coming for 4 days. We were surprised as we thought the campsite had been closed. We told her that we would prefer if the campsite was closed while she was away. She agreed.
She came again at 10 pm and said that she offered the house sit to the guests from the camper and they agreed to take care of the place, cats, and the campsite too. She wanted us to leave as soon as possible and said that the couple from the camper wanted the same. It wasn’t true, we talked to them the next day. She said we could only stay longer if we paid her to stay in the (mouldy) tent.
The next morning, she texted us that she wanted us to leave immediately, which we couldn’t do as we had to find pet-friendly accommodation and wait for one of our friends from the area to be free and pick us up in the remote location.
The following morning, she texted us another message saying that we had to be out of the place by 3 pm, which we managed to do.
*Redacted* used us until the last moment when she found a better solution for her (financial) situation and ended our agreement last-minute for no reason.

Leider sind Petra und Ellen eher Haus- und Hundesitter als Workawayers. Für Katzensitten leider auch nicht zu empfehlen, da sie Angst haben, sich mit Toxoplasmose anzustecken und der Hund Bella nicht alleine sein kann.
Sie arbeiten viel online, heizen kräftig und sind auch lieber für sich.
Da haben sie jedenfalls keine Zeit nebenbei für den Host… read more
