About this sitter

I'm taking some time off right now. I haven't decided how long, but I know that when I'm done, I want to have written a novel/thriller in three parts.
At the moment, I'm traveling around Andalusia, soaking up the sun and enjoying the sunsets.

Testimonials

Excellence from a first time sitter

From the moment we first connected with Siegmar, we felt completely at ease. Even as he prepared for the start of his European tour, he approached the sit with a level of care, organisation, and genuine commitment that immediately stood out. For a first‑time sitter, he delivered far beyond what we expected. Communication before his arrival was excellent—clear, thoughtful, and consistent. It was obvious he wanted to understand every detail so he could step in confidently. When he arrived, he bonded with our pets straight away. Pepe and Ludi were instantly comfortable with him, and it was lovely to see how much affection and attention he gave them throughout his stay. He cared for our hens with the same diligence, enjoying the fresh eggs they provided, and he took real initiative around the property. He kept the garden well maintained, watering regularly and clearing overgrown weeds—including those around the solar matrix, which made a noticeable difference. After a storm, he also dealt with a broken tree, handling the situation calmly and responsibly. Inside the house, Siegmar was equally respectful. He kept everything spotless and treated our home as if it were his own. His attention to detail and proactive attitude were evident in every aspect of the sit. While we were away, he stayed in regular contact, sending updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. His communication was reassuring without ever being intrusive. We wholeheartedly recommend Siegmar as a housesitter. He is responsible, considerate, and remarkably capable—especially impressive for his very first sit. We would welcome him back without hesitation and wish him all the best as he continues his journey across Europe.
