Katrin (47) & Steffen (50) – Experienced and Caring Housesitters

About this sitter

We’re Katrin (47) and Steffen (50), a responsible and enthusiastic couple of online entrepreneurs who have been traveling the world for the past year, exploring Bali, Thailand, Vietnam, Peru, Argentina, and Paraguay. Currently, we’re in Portugal, caring for a large property with horses, cats, dogs, and 20 hectares of land. We love connecting with animals and immersing ourselves in local cultures. We’re seeking long-term housesitting opportunities in the UK and Scotland, ideally with pets and rural settings, where we can care for your home and animals with dedication while enjoying authentic, soulful living experiences.

Why they want to house sit

After a year of staying in hotels and AirBnBs, we’ve discovered that housesitting offers a deeper connection to places and animals. We’re passionate about caring for pets and properties, as it brings warmth and purpose to our travels. Housesitting allows us to live sustainably, build meaningful bonds with animals, and provide homeowners with peace of mind, knowing their home is in trusted hands.

Their experience

Yes, we have hands-on housesitting experience. Katrin successfully completed a 3-month housesitting assignment in Peru, caring for 3 dogs, cats, and 2 alpacas. Currently, we’re managing a property in Portugal with 6 horses, 8 cats, 3 dogs, and 20 hectares of land. These experiences have equipped us with the skills to handle diverse animals and large properties with care and confidence.

What can they bring to the assignment

As online entrepreneurs, we bring flexibility, strong organizational skills, and a high sense of responsibility to every assignment. We’re experienced in caring for a variety of animals (dogs, cats, alpacas, horses) and managing rural properties. We treat every home with respect, ensuring it’s well-maintained and secure. Our passion for animals and commitment to clear communication means we’ll provide personalized care for your pets and property, tailored to your specific needs.
