Almost 7 years of continuous addictive house-sitting

About this sitter

The dream to live in Europe became a reality in 2018. We struck gold by finding a long term housesit in France!. ooh la la did things change! . We got such a taste for this life enriching adventure, it will be 7 years coming September '25 and we feel we have become real house-sit addicts and might I add professionals!

A bit about our family: Damian is a (part time) CAD draftsman / surveyor (aviation) and is working from his laptop.
Damian was brought up on a farm/vineyard in South Australia by Dutch parents. He is quite the handyman. He has renovated several houses and this proves to become very helpful living amidst 15 hectares of vines in a large farmhouse.
Lisette has a certificate in support work for aged care and is extremely house proud.
Tygo has finished schooling and is acquiring handy - man skills ( so important for kids nowadays ?)
Lexi is doing an international home school program .

Why they want to house sit

We love what we are doing and often go over and beyond because we can't help ourselves and on top of that as a bonus, we get to spend time as a family and share this experience together, learning from all the different animals and people we have met and are still meeting.

Their experience

We have been able to do long term housesits of over 1 year, with the longest being 4,5 years! We also have been able to do do short holiday/ explore sits. We have ( many) great reviews on another house sit site and am happy to forward these to you.

What can they bring to the assignment

A great solution driven approach to anything that might come up ( unexpectedly) We have experience with swimming pools, septic tanks, solar, heavy machinery like tractors, forklifts, ride on mowers and professional tools., pruning etc etc. We know and understand big properties and we respect people's belongings and are neat and tidy. We really enjoy caring for your home and your beloved animals and are still impressed with trusting people giving this amazing opportunity to strangers and therefore we won't let you down!
