About this sitter

Kristin, 43: Living with 2 cats and gardening at my parents house in a village close to Berlin is how I grew up. I appreciate clean and tidy homes. I am familiar with foreign pets.

Sebastian, 38: Hi, I grew up with dogs and cats. My parents had a dog farm / french shepherds and we sold pet food too. Cats are well known and I even stroke an eagle one time. I'm a minimalist when it comes to my apartment and owning things and belonging, I do read and take care of being clean and cosy not only for my stuff.

We do not smoke and don't have allergies. We understand the house sit as a give and take. We take care, you give us a warm welcome and we are ready to go. Understanding our surroundings is a goal and we look for a pleasant experience for both sides.

Why they want to house sit

It's fun for us and an adventure to do. We want to travel slowly and experience the life and countries like the natives do, we don't want to just sit, we want to be there with all the necessities.

Their experience

We know animals, we always were with animals. We have 6 years experience of different type of housesits. If there is an animals to take care of our friends - we are the first ones to ask. We are experienced, traveled a lot, know how to enjoy life and find always home even without google maps.

What can they bring to the assignment

Horses, dogs, cats, more dogs and cats. We can cook, are tidy, very clean, enjoy a glas of wine, understand cultures and stand to our words. With flexible times as freelancers and open plans we can take care of any home and almost any pet. Otherwise we learn quickly.

Testimonials

Our first house sitter - and such a great experience!

Kristin was the first house sitter we trusted with our cat, our fish and our home. She arrived two days before our departure which was great. We got to know her and could show and explain to her all about our cat, house and region. In those two days we realised quickly what a lovely person Kristin is. So when we left for our holidays we did it with a good feeling - our home was in very good hands. During our time away Kristin kept us every now and then up to date with pictures of our four legged senior. A few hours before we came back home Kristin had to leave for her next destination and we were sorry to miss her. She left our house in perfect order and our cat happy and well cared for. And she left all the makings for a tasty dinner for us. What a lovely gesture. We hope we can enjoy Kristin's house sitting again some time in the future.

Our cats have fallen in love with Kristin

We were very happy that Kristin took care of our two cats during our vacation and hope that we will see her more often :-) The cats were very open to her right from the start and you could tell immediately that Kristin has spent a lot of time with cats. Everything about the housesitting was very uncomplicated, reliable, great communication and all in all we just had a really good feeling. Thank you very much & see you soon Kristin!

The perfect dog and house sitter

Kristin was at our house for almost 4 weeks and took excellent care of our dear old Labrador mix, Elvis. She adapted very well to our circumstances and specifications and did everything the way we wanted it. It seemed to me as if Elvis had been on a cure and was now even physically better again. Kristin took great care of him. The house was super clean, the bed linen was washed and everything was perfectly tidy. We will definitely ask Kristin again.

Best house sitters ever

Kristin and Sebastian were the best house-sitters we’ve had. They were responsible, capable, organised, pleasant company if you spend any time with them. They’re also very pro-active when i.e the roof of the sauna blew off in a storm - twice - Sebastian was up there fixing it. They helped with various problems with the cows - and if you need any renovation supervised that is Kristin’ s speciality. I would invite them back anytime.

Kristin took perfect care of our two cats and home

Kristin took care of our home and two cats for a long weekend and everything was perfect. She was really forthcoming with the cats and built an immediate connection with them. The contact was always super friendly and Kristin gave updates on a regular basis. Can highly recommend and would welcome Kristin back any time!

Sebastian did a wonderful job looking after our 2 dogs, Sandy & Odie, and 2 birds: Fifi the cockatoo, and Chutie the cockatiel. We highly recommend Sebastian for the care he took over our beloved animals and will definitely have him to house and pet sit again when the need arises. Thanks Sebastian and Kristin

Kristin looked after our dogs Rocky and Podi for 4 months and we couldn’t have been any happier with the care Kristin had for our home and our dogs. From the very first moment we talked to her it felt super easy and we knew that she enjoys what she is doing. Kristin is just such a lovely, wonderful person, warm and open hearted with plenty of house sitting experiences. Our 2 dogs immediately liked Kristin. She went on lots of long walks along the beach, cooked healthy food and gave them so much love. Honest, reliable, and with excellent communication skills, she effortlessly looked after our large property with care and expertise. Everything from organising repairs to managing staff, made it very clear, that she is not only great at what she does, but also terrific problem solver. Your home and pets would be in very safe hands, if you are fortunate enough to have her. We HIGHLY recommend Kristin as a house/petsitter. This was such a nice experience, thank you Kristin. We look forward to leave Rocky and Podi as well as our home in your hands again.

Empfehlung Sebastian Weinmann

Sebastian war jetzt schon das 3. Mal da und inzwischen sind wir alle Freunde geworden: die beiden Katzen Wilma und Morli sind traurig, wenn er wieder geht, viele aus der Nachbarschaft und ich sowieso. Das sind jetzt insgesamt 9+ Monate, in denen er "Haus und Hof" bereichert hat. Bewusst aktiv leben, mitdenken und wertschätzen - das ist die wirkliche Bereicherung! Und dass ich dann das Haus auch noch sauberer zurück bekommen habe, als ich es übergeben hatte, ist einfach ein Traum!

House-/Catsitters

Kristin and Sebastian did a very good job staying in our home for one month. They were spoiling our cat and rabbits and did their best to keep an eye on garden and pool. It was always easy to keep in touch with them and they left our place in perfect conditions. If your looking for someone looking after your place/pets Kristin and Sebastian are perfect! I hope one day they ll come back to our home.

Friends...

There is not much to say: we ended up as very dear friends. I organized my return to home so that we could pass some days together...

Perfect sitters, we booked them multiple times and will do so again!

Kristin and Sebastian have been sitting my house in Munich for multiple months in early 2021 while I was in the process of selling my house in Munich and moving to Berlin. Both did sit this home and two cats before and I have been very satisfied. Also this time: everything went perfectly well! Once I moved to Berlin they took over another two weeks housesitting in Berlin while I was on summer vacation. Again: perfect sitters. Both are reliable, trustworthy and treat your home with respect. Strong recommendation and I will invite them to sit again next time I go on vacation!

We made new friends!

It is a pleasure for us to write a testimonial for Kristin and Sebastian. They looked after our house and our cat for 6 weeks. And what can we say: it was perfect. The house was in perfect condition, the garden grew into the sky, our cat loved them both and we had the feeling that we had made new friends. Anyone who gets them as house sitters will be happy. We hope to see Kristin and Sebastian again, to keep in touch with them and to welcome them back as sitters.

Happiness moves into the house

Guys, it really can't be that you've sent us such great people again. We are still so very happy that Kristin and Sebastian were with us. Everything was perfect. Both are super personable and reliable. During our absence, they found a good balance with what we needed to be informed about and what they manage themselves. That alone showed us that they know exactly what they are doing. The animals, the stable, the house - everything was just perfect. I now call Sebastian the cat whisperer, because he cast a spell over my extremely shy cat Rosi. Sebastian and Kristin are so warm and cordial, and funny, that we had a great chat right away and at the end, when we were much too late, shortly before their departure! We wish them both that they go their own way, with lots of great experiences, love and happiness and that we hopefully meet again. They will always be welcome at our house. If you ask me, you can't get better house and pet sitters. Thank you, dear Kristin and dear Sebastian!

Very happy cruisers

Just in addition to my husbands testemonial. Sebastian took fabulous care of my horse while we were away. Attention to detail and stable management were excellent. Although Sebastian is not a rider be has a natural empathy with a horse and Mr Gee, who can be difficult in some hands, was calm and confident. We would love him to come back again to our special part of the world. Any more details please contact us on seantaffyos@yahoo.co.uk

Great Sit

Have to say we enjoyed meeting Sebastian ,as did our two dogs who clearly missed him when he left. Unfortunately due to a medical problem Kristin was unable to come but we look forward to meeting her in the future. The best testimonial we can give is that we hope they will come and sit for us again as we can go away happy in the knowledge the dogs, cats and house will be in good hands. Sebastian got on extremely well with our friends and neighbours and has offers to sit for some of them as well, so fully expect and hope to see them in our area again even if its not a sit for us . We wish well and sincerely hope to see them again.

Highly recommend!!

Thank you to Sebastian and Kristin for taking such good care of the Thompsons. From the moment we were in contact you were enthusiatsic in your desire to experience a new place and culture with a focus on taking care of my two Omani cats. The Thompsons were very well looked after and loved, and I received several whatsapp pictures and updates while I was away. Delightful, friendly, reliable and super people, they enjoyed taking really good care of the cats and the apartment was in pristine condition when I got home. Many many thanks to you both :)

Sebastian - the friendly German

Sebastian took care of our house in the countryside, our 4 horses, cat and a bunch of chickens for 5 weeks. He did an excellent job, and we had no worries at all and were able to enjoy our holiday knowing that everything was taken care of at home. Sebastian arrived a day early as we had asked him, so that we could show him around. This way we also got to hang out a little bit before we left, and it was great getting to know him - he even brought German beer for us to taste. Thank you for everything Sebastian, you arrived as a house sitter and left as a friend.

Young professional German couple

Kristin and Sebastian have house sat for us twice and we have 3 horses, 3 dogs and 2 cats. They are very responsible and took their duties seriously. They are very patient and calm with the animals. They kept us updated regularly and were very easy to deal with and get along with. I have no hesitation in recommending them to house sit. They will certainly be invited to house sit for us again.
