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.

Testimonials

Lovely people and very reliable

We were very happy to welcome Lynne and Rudi 2-hour home while we were abroad. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that they were there. They always responded to my messages in a timely manner. They left the house tidy and all the pets were happy and well-fed. I had been speaking to Lynne for about 1 and 1/2 years, when she messaged me but we already had a house sitter for a previous sit, and she committed to us and she was there. I'm very happy to recommend these housesitters and would happily welcome them back any time.

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!
