Pet-sitting couple with 4 years experience!

About this sitter

***Availability for 2024***
- Oct 31 - Nov 23

Hi there, we're Jo & Bogdan! For 4 years now, we have been working online remotely while travelling Europe together via pet-sitting and various other programs. We're a mixed couple from Australia & Romania, who met in London and decided to travel Europe together. We're in our late 20's and engaged to be married. Bogdan works online as a digital marketer and Jo is an early childhood teacher but taking a break while we travel. We both have European passports, so no need for any visas.

We love pets and are passionate about helping people out where we can and providing quality pet-care. Playtime and cuddles with gorgeous pets is our favourite time of day! We also love being able to meet new people from all over the world!

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

- We complete pet-sitting as a mutually beneficial, free exchange only; we provide free pet care in exchange for free accommodation.

- We don't drive, so require sits accessible via public transport.

- We are non-smokers and prefer smoke-free homes.

- We use video calls to confirm & arrange a sit.

- We follow MindMyHouse policies and expect owners to do the same. We don't accept indoor & undisclosed cameras, third-party pets, or non-vacant properties during our stay.

- To help us coordinate our consecutive sits, we ask owners to please let us know your departure & arrival times once they're booked. We’re happy to arrive the evening before if you have an early morning departure, but otherwise we’ll arrive on the day for a handover (or can follow your notes if our travel times don’t align). As experienced full-time sitters, we don't require extensive handovers & neighbourhood tours; we use Google Maps and are quite self-sufficient, ensuring easy transitions and stress-free holidays!

Why they want to house sit

For us, sitting is a huge win-win - we are often able to see our top destinations, while doing something we really love - helping people and caring for pets. We love this program and hope we can be your next Mindmyhouse sitter!

Their experience

We are experienced, full time back-to-back sitters who have completed countless sits through various sites. We have sat small and large dogs of various breeds, plenty of cats and tank & pond fish. We have a consistent 5 star reputation of leaving owners with very happy pets, healthy green gardens and sparkling clean homes - plus we keep owners regularly updated and send through plenty of pet pictures! We have also completed au pairing and volunteering for families ('Workaway'), but caring for people's pets and gaining all those free cat and dog cuddles has become our favourite way to travel!

Jo also grew up with various pets and knows how to care for rabbits & rodents, turtles, frogs, chickens and birds.

This is our first time using MindMyHouse, but you can see all our 20+ reviews on other sitting websites here:
