About this sitter

My name is Martin, and my wife Ursula and I are a responsible, retired couple who take great pride in caring for homes, pets, and gardens. We’ve been married for over 30 years and are now enjoying our retirement by traveling, meeting new people, and exploring new places. We’re looking for house sits that allow us to care for your home and pets while experiencing local life — whether it’s for a week or several months. We’re dependable, clean, and respectful of every property we stay in and treat each one as if it were our own.

Why they want to house sit

We love the idea of helping homeowners travel worry-free while we enjoy a comfortable home environment instead of hotels. Caring for homes and animals comes naturally to us — it’s something we both genuinely enjoy. House sitting allows us to combine our love of travel, new experiences, and animals in a meaningful way. For us, it’s not just accommodation — it’s about trust, care, and connection.

Their experience

Yes. Over the years, I’ve looked after many friends’ and family members’ homes and pets, often for long stays while they were away. I also managed my parents’ large property while serving as a full-time caregiver for both of them, along with caring for their four beloved cats. Together, Ursula and I have stayed in over 30 Airbnbs around the world, all with perfect reviews for cleanliness, reliability, and respect. Our experience includes caring for homes, condos, gardens, and a variety of pets — from cats and dogs to small animals.

What can they bring to the assignment

I bring strong mechanical and troubleshooting skills from my years as a commercial aquatics and pool operator, along with a steady, hands-on approach to maintaining a property. Ursula and I are organized, detail-oriented, and trustworthy. We keep things clean and well cared for, handle minor issues quickly, and ensure pets are happy, healthy, and loved. We always leave each home better than before our stay, and we provide regular updates to homeowners for complete peace of mind.
