About this sitter
I’ve made my home by the sea and mountains, where I enjoy swimming, hiking, reading, writing, and reflecting.
While I value this quieter life, I also enjoy a change of pace. At times I miss the bustle of city life — sitting in a street café with a coffee, watching the world go by.
Pets add a special dimension for me, whether it’s playing catch in the park or having company on my lap while reading. I happily align with their routines while also having time to explore the local area. I’ve found that balance is what makes house sitting work well,
Why they want to house sit
House sitting makes travel more affordable and lets me experience places more as a local rather than a tourist. I don't have pets because travelling is important to me — being in new surroundings keeps me fresh. House sitting allows me to travel while still enjoying the companionship of animals.
Their experience
I grew up with a variety of pets and have completed seven successful house sits.
What can they bring to the assignment
I travel light, respect the home and community, and I’m a non-smoker who drinks only occasionally. My nightclubbing days are behind me, but I keep mentally and physically active and lead a balanced life.
I aim to do what’s agreed — and take care of the small things that make a difference. I believe trust is best built before a sit, so I’ll keep you informed without overdoing it.
My career involved handling sensitive responsibilities where follow-through and reliability were essential, and I bring that same approach to house sitting. I plan my journey carefully to ensure I arrive a day or two early (and stay in a hotel). This allows for any unexpected travel disruptions that might delay your departure.
As I do with every homeowner, I provide proof of identity — passport, driving licence, and a utility bill — before the sit.

Testimonials
Warm and reliable person
Communication with Micheel is reliable, proactive and simple. We had a video call before his trip and I'm very glad that I had the opportunity to meet Michael live, when he was in Berlin. We could have talked for a long time. Michael left the flat tidy and clean and the cats looked happy. He left them all sorts of treats and also thought of them in the pre-call communication. On top of that, the gratitude of Michael's stay was palpable. Thank you!

Excellent, Respectful sitter
Michael sat our house in Germany for several weeks. His communication was excellent. He helped keep the garden maintained, everything was left clean, he even forwarded mail through email and kept in touch with us at every turn. Very conscientious, security conscious and acts with integrity. Michael also had high praise from neighbours. We would recommend Michael unreservedly.

Lovely person,
Michael spent 10 days in our apartment with our cat Loui while we were on vacation. We met him via zoom, which was uncomplicated and easy. We directly felt a good connection and comfortable with and around him. Michael is a very friendly and mindful person. He thought about things like an emergency phonenumber for the vet and stuff like that, which made us feel very confident and trustful in his ability and character to take care of our home and the cat very well. And he really did. He was very good reachable, whenever we texted him and offered to help us out in every possible occuring circumstance. He was very respectful towards our stuff and left the apartment very clean and tidied. We are very happy to have found him as a sitter and couldn't have thought of anyone better for the time period. We had a very nice holiday, knowing our home and our little furry friend were in absolutely good hands. Michael gave us peace in our minds, some real funny and lovely conversations and we are happy to have met him that way.
