Handyman

60, Civil/Structural Engineer

Dogs want to go for a walk? Some house repair to be done while away? Farm needs attention? I may be the right man to look after your place.
Read on please ...



Hi there,
My name is Uwe; I am a civil/structural engineer with dual German and Australian citizenship. Single; non-smoker.
I lived and worked in Adelaide for seven years. From 2012 through 2017 I travelled as a kind of grey nomad around my adopted home country, doing house sits, both short and long term. At the moment I am in Germany, planning to be back in Oz in September 2024.
I am happy to look after your garden and pets although I cannot claim to be an expert in these things. But I have done a total of twenty-four sits by now and all house owners were pleased with my service so far.
I grew up on a little farm, therefore I have some experience with farm chores too.
In case your place could do with some home improvement, I would be more than happy to occupy myself with such tasks while house sitting. I am a bit of a handyman and could fix many things which may need fixing.
I would be glad if you would consider me as your house sitter; rural, regional or otherwise.
Please feel free to contact me for any additional information.
National Police Certificate and contact details of former home owners for references are available.

Looking forward hearing from you.
Kind regards
Uwe

No rating We have been using Aussie House Sitters for 10 years and Uwe is the best house sitter we have had. He was so thorough with all his duties, the house was spotless when we returned, all my pot plants looked healthy and the horses and dog obviously got attached to Uwe and were all looking very content and didnt appear to have missed us one bit. Any doors, screens, pressure pumps etc that werent moving smoothly, were fixed and repaired. Just an amazing house sitter.

I must apologise to Uwe for the tardiness of my review. This was the only thing Uwe asked me to do and I had forgotten until I have needed to use Aussie House Sitter again. Uwe was an exceptional house sitter. Efficient and tidy, we kept uncovering the effects of Uwe's stay weeks after our return. The kitchen cupboard doors didn't sag, screwdrivers in the shed had a tidy place, mop bucket fixed, cook enclosed door swings so much better, just to mention a few. Thanks for looking after ...

No rating Uwe came to us as our first house sitter ever and we couldn't be more happy with his stay in our home. He is happy, trustworthy, has a great sense of humour, and very clean about the house. He cared for our dogs, cats and garden perfectly. The house was in wonderful shape when we arrived home. We are still surprised daily when discovering jobs that he has completed off his own back. We would welcome Uwe back to housesit for us at any time. Highly recommended.
DEBRA AND GARY (Imbil QLD, Oct 2016 - 1 month 2 weeks)
No rating We found Uwe to be honest, trustworthy and responsible and he did an excellent job in caring for our home He used initiative and was able to carry out several improvements to our home for which we are very grateful.. He has some good skills in the areas of carpentry, electrical and plumbing which were very evident in the work well done.

No rating Uwe was a great success - he not only looked after dogs, cat and chickens but did all sorts of odd jobs. He handled a sick dog and cat situation very competently and even buried the cat. The house was in better condition than I left it, he was completely responsible and very easy to deal with. I would recommend him highly.
