Why they want to house sit

We’ve travelled to many main tourist sites, slept in anonymus hotels in the past and are now focussed on just experiencing a country’s culture and everyday life. Now we have no pets, so we welcome the chance to spend some quality time with animals.

Their experience

We have 20+ years experience with own pets (dogs-Labrador and a rescue dog, cats, guinea pigs).
This year we’ve started pet sitting and we have two succesfull pet sits (Poland and Regensburg/Germany). We have two excellent references on Facebook group Housesitting i Houesswapping Polska.

What can they bring to the assignment

We would treat your home and pets with the same care and respect as we treat our own. We always follow instructions and communicate effectively with owners. We will communicate frequently and sent updates/photos.
