About this sitter
My wife Nicole (54) and I (Peter de Ruiter, 61) are currently looking into a longer stay abroad. We both love animals and enjoy peace and nature. Currently we have a walking dog called Frenkie, a vizsla, for two days a week. We also have a former water mill in Auvergne, which we rent out, but it is not suitable for habitation in all seasons. www.countrycottagefrance.com
I am a writer and photographer (and now podcast maker) and do most of my work online. Nicole has worked for a long time at an international children's aid organization. We are well travelled and speak English, German, French and some Italian. Normally we cycle in Asia for four weeks in January, but because of the corona pandemic we have not been able to do that for two years. In January 2023 we will by cycling once more, in Sri Lanka this time.
Why they want to house sit
Because we want to get used to stay abroad for a longer time, and eventually move abroad.
Their experience
We both visited 50+ countries and used to own dogs and cats some times in our lives. Our first housesitting was in France, Limoges, summer of 2022. See the photo of the dog Zorro. We also took care of two cats and two birds and the wonderful house itself, owned by two Dutch. In October we took care of a house near Malaga, Spain, with a dog (a Mastin) and a cat for three weeks. Actually, it was a B&B, but there were no guests at that time. See the photo by the pool.
