Testimonials

Wonderful sitters!

Trudy and Ruud were just the best sitters! They were organized, helpful, flexible and friendly - and with great communication skills. The house was beautifully clean and tidy and the animals very happy. We hope they will sit for us again. Warmly recommended!

Excellent house sitters

Ruud and Trudy were superb. A well organised, reliable and friendly couple. They were patient with our fussy cat and brilliant with our dog, taking him on long walks and runs. They followed the instructions for managing our off-grid system and did everything well. The house was clean and tidy on our return, everything in it's place, and a lovely welcome with a meal prepared.

Very experienced house sitters

Ruud and Trudy looked after our house, garden and cats for nearly 3 weeks. We found them to be a charming couple who quickly appreciated what and how things needed to be done. We went away with peace of mind and were not disappointed. Whilst abroad we kept in touch and on our return we found everything well cared for. We would not hesitate to highly recommend Ruud and Trudi to look after your house.

Great Housesitters!

Ruud & Trudy are the ideal housesitters. They are very capable, friendly, practical and organised. They took care of our house, the garden and both our cats extremely well. We received regularly updates and photos and arrived home to a beautifully clean house, a tidy garden & well cared for pets. We were very impressed and would have no hesitation in them returning for another sit. Julie & Mark
