About this sitter
We are an open, honest, responsible couple with many life skills and a love of adventure and travel, meeting people from varied backgrounds and cultures.
Why they want to house sit
Having recently semi-retired, we are keen to further our travels around the world. We like the idea of exchanging house-sitting and pet-sitting for free accommodation. It seems like an ideal way to live in a real community in another part of the world.
Their experience
We have many life skills, including experience of cooking, caring, home maintenance, gardening, caring for animals. We both have excellent communication skills and have full clean driving licenses.
What can they bring to the assignment
Honesty, fun, enthusiasm, responsibility, ethical principles. I will also consider solo sittings if required or if my partner is not available.

Second time
This time Lynne took care of our dog Tommy and the garden, without Rudi at her side. She did a great job and I am very grateful to her! Tommy was very relaxed shen I came home and looked happy and in great shape. Also the flouring garden was a great joy 😃. This was the second time Lynne took care of Tommy and the garden. It feels very relaxed to have Lynne taking care of Tommy. She became part of the family ❤️.

Perfect sitter Lynne
Lynne is a very friendly, uncomplicated and trustworthy person! I found all my animals and the plants very well cared and both houses perfectly clean. She kept in touch with me the whole time per messages. Summarised: I couldn’t find a better one than Lynne! I am glad, that I met her and sure, I would ask her again, to take care for my dog, cat’s and horses! Thank you very much, Lynne!

Loverly personality and bonded straight away with my dog
Loverly personality and bonded straight away with Diesel. Left house in perfect condition. Would thoroughly recommend Lynn to look after your pet and home, as in this case, our dog Diesel. Many thanks, Lynne. Love you to come any time.

I would recommand Lynne & Rudi to everybody
❤️ I would recommand Lynne & Rudi to everybody ❤️These two wonderful people took very good care of my dog Tommy and the house. Although the weather was very rainy, they never complained. Tommy is a young dog and has to learn a lot; their understanding and patience with him was impressive! The house was very tidy and clean when I came home. The fireplace was prepaired, I just had to light it. Again: ❤️ I would recommand Lynne & Rudi to everybody ❤️

Excellent house sitters
Lynne and her partner Rudi were excellent house sitters. They communicated well with me whilst I was away, neither too much nor too little.. They ran errands which cropped up whilst I was away. They left the house very clean and tidy. They seemed to enjoy themselves
