A German who is looking to housesit cats in europe!

About this sitter

Hi! My name is Marie and I am 18yrs old. I have just completed a 7 months full time volunteer service in the United States, where I worked with people with disabilities.
In addition, I have several years of experience with cats, thanks to my own cat, Theo.
I gained experience with stray cats and I also volunteered in a cat shelter, where I assisted with feeding, cleaning and socializing the cats.
Finally, I have around 10 years of experience with guniea pigs.

Why they want to house sit

I am looking forward to taking care of cats to gain even more experience.
At the same time, I am interested in opportunities that allow me to travel budget friendly.
For me it’s very important to dive into the culture of different countries.
House sitting allows me to actually live in the new city, like a local rather than simply staying in a hotel.

Their experience

I do not have experience with housesitting apps.
However I do have experience caring for (outdoor) cats.
I am familiar with daily care and safety.
During my 7 months in the US, I learned how to live independently, maintain a household and take care of someone’s needs. This experience allowed me to develop patience, empathy and a strong sense of responsibility.
Additionally, I gained knowledge about how to act in unexpected situations and staying calm.
Finally, I am open in communication and I prefer to ask more questions than too few.

What can they bring to the assignment

I am speaking German (mother tongue), English (C1) and French (A2), which gives me the opportunity to communicate with a variety of people.
