About this sitter
Seth and Vanya are a healthy, responsible couple who love nature, animals and living simply. We are looking for long term sitting opportunities worldwide from Nov 24.
Why they want to house sit
We are both former professionals who are unplugging from the "normal" way of living and we are interested in visiting and exploring other countries and their cultures. Sitting is a great way for us to do this and help people in the process. We currently also do work online.
Their experience
Yes, we are active on this site as well as TrustedHousesitters (there is a link to our TrustedHousesitter profile in the Personal Details section below). In 2022, we watched a small farm in the jungle of Peru for three months, caring for the gardens, dogs, cats and chickens. After that, we house sat for a month in the USA, and then two months in North Yorkshire, UK. For the remained of 2023, we watched homes, gardens and dogs in England, Scotland, Ireland and finished off with a 3 month sit in Andalusia, Spain. Thus far, in 2024, we have completed long sits in Northumberland, UK and Chicago and San Francisco, USA. We will be returning to Europe for the summer.
In the past few years, we’ve spent extensive time in India; North, South and Central America and Europe.
We have both owned and renovated homes and lived with animals most of our lives. Vanya spent 5 years establishing a permaculture farm project, living off grid, growing vegetables and taking care of pigs, chickens, sheep, cows, geese, dogs, cats and a donkey.
We both love the outdoors and wildlife.
What can they bring to the assignment
We are a trustworthy, responsible and mature couple with many practical skills. We will protect and love your home and animals (if you have any) as if they are our own. We have permaculture (training) and gardening (some biodynamic) experience and are happy to maintain your outdoor spaces.

Wundervolles Paar
Wanya und Seth waren wunderbare, verlässliche , ordentliche und sehr freundliche Haussitter.Gerne jederzeit wieder !!

Exceptional care from two wonderful souls
Our dogs absolutely adored them, and I bet they didn't want Vanya and Seth to ever leave. And talk about spoiling! Vanya and Seth treated Freya and Byron to bones and treats, ensuring they lived the good life while we were away. Coming back home, the house was even tidier than we left it (shoutout to Vanya for that kitchen cupboard magic!). They truly treated our home with respect and consideration. While we were away, the communication was on point: photo updates of the doggies, regular check-ins, and that warm feeling of knowing everything's A-OK at home. Even when faced with a sudden emergency, they did everything humanly possible and assisted in every way they could. With Vanya and Seth, we didn't just find homeminders; we discovered two wonderfully considerate, kind, and loving souls. We hope to have them back again!

Vanya and Seth came to take care of our animals, home and land for almost 3months in the middle of the peruvian jungle. It was challenging, but We could trust them with eyes closed while we were far away. They are animal lovers and Big Heart's persons. WE had the chance to spend some Time with them and they were part of the family. I Hope we could cross paths again. Thanks from all or us,Mabe, Aurélie, dogs,cats and hens !
