About Ursula

52 years old | Teacher (Music/Maths)

We are an international couple (german/american) with great travel experience and interest in sustainable and alternative lifestyle. Our interests are widespread: I am working as a teacher for music and maths and Thomas is a psychotherapist, now retired. We love spending as much time as possible in nature and prefer a simple and quiet life, in order to play our instruments, write our books and do some gardening if possible. Animals have often been a natural part of our lives and we do appreciate very much their presence and beauty.

We are looking for a beautiful and cozy place where we can retreat and spend time by meditating, reading, writing and enjoying solitude and nature. The more remote, the better... There's no need of entertaining activities nearby. Used to a simple and quiet life in the countryside we would happily take care of a house, garden, animals and any living creature around...

We just finished a lovely two-months housesit in France where we were responsible for the well-being of five cats and three horses (endorsement below). There are other testimonials for sits I did alone, which were arranged on another website. You can find them by following this link: https://www.trustedhousesitters.com/house-and-pet-sitters/germany/hesse/wiesbaden/l/1070422/
In addition I did a lot of woofing while travelling, so there is a great experience in garden jobs and taking care of different types of animals. Mostly I was occupied with dogs and cats but I also fed sheep and donkeys and horses and chicken and ducks and pigs...
Thomas raised beagle dogs as a kid and has had numerous cats and dogs by himself later on. Also he gave his own house in New Zealand to a sitter before and therefore knows well the needs and concerns of an owner.

Finally we would like to mention that we have a car and are able to reach even remote countryside places.

Une belle rencontre avec Ursula qui rénove une maison a une demi-heure de chez moi et qui est venue se reposer à la maison pendant une quinzaine de jours. Le fait qu'elle connaisse déjà la région et l'environnement, qu'elle soit restée beaucoup auprès des animaux, a été plutôt un plus. Nos attentes et nos besoins réciproques ont ainsi été parfaitement en symbiose... Nous avons communiqué plusieurs fois pendant le séjour. Je suis rentrée un peu plus tôt que prévu et Ursula s'est très bien adaptée à ce changement de programme. Les poules, le coq, les ânes et la chatte m'ont semblé ravis de la présence d'Ursula. Tout le monde était en forme quand je suis revenue. Arrivée l'avant-veille de mon départ et repartie le lendemain de mon retour, j'ai eu le temps d'apprécier Ursula, qui est une personne très calme, douce, discrète, agréable à vivre.

Ursula came to look after our house in South West France for about 3 months this spring. She was brilliant right from the very start, being very flexible with her start date to fit in with our plans. Ursula has been one of the best house sitters we've ever had, she kept us very well informed of everything that was happening, and was very helpful and proactive when our tractor mower broke down. Her task was to look after a large house and extensive grounds, keeping the garden and grounds tidy and making sure the house was secure. She did brilliantly, she obviously has a real love of gardening and seemed to really enjoy looking after and tending to our garden, doing weeding, lots of grass cutting and many other gardening tasks. Ursula is a very organised and efficient person, but also incredibly easy going, flexible and helpful. We felt that nothing we ever asked of her was a problem and she was extremely good at keeping in touch and keeping our minds at rest that everything was ok. We would definitely highly recommend Ursula as a house sitter.

Ursula et Thomas c'est avant tout une belle rencontre. Ils se sont présentés à nous avec leur gentillesse, leur humilité et leur discrétion prenant soin de nous avant notre départ. C'est aussi un réel échange de joies, de discussion et un partage de moments doux et légers. Ils ont été très attentifs aux multiples consignes pour pouvoir prendre en main notre grande ferme et tous ses animaux, même ceux de la nature. Ursula a une grande douceur et une grande écoute avec les animaux qui le lui rendent bien. Elle est aussi une soignante rigoureuse et attentionnée dans l'administration des traitements médicaux. Thomas lui est très "performant" quant à la logistique et l'entretien des chevaux et des extérieurs (peut-être même plus que nous !). Pendant le voyage, ils ont été au contact lorsque nous prenions des nouvelles, nous envoyant même quelques petites photos. Et à notre retour, il y avait comme une symbiose qui s'était effectuée dans la maison et avec tous les animaux. Il y règne une atmosphère si paisible et nos chats sont tellement sereins, il semble qu'ils en aient tiré un grand bénéfice. Un grand merci à vous deux, Ursula et Thomas. Nous serions tellement contents que nos routes se croisent à nouveau pour, qui sait, un autre petsitting, ou simplement pour le plaisir.
