Retired Audit Manager = Calm, Responsible & Trustworthy House-Sitter

About this sitter

Hello! I’m a retired professional who loves caring for homes and pets, and I find great joy in making pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Having had cats and a dog for most of my life, I understand the importance of routine, patience, and gentle attention. I’m calm, responsible, and reliable — definitely not a party animal — and I treat every home as if it were my own.
Over the years, I have lived in Belgium, Switzerland, and Luxembourg, and I travel extensively in Europe, which has given me a deep appreciation for different cultures and ways of life.
I speak fluent English, French, and German, as well as Dutch, which helps me communicate clearly and confidently with homeowners. I take pride in keeping homes clean and organized, following instructions carefully, and keeping owners updated with regular messages and photos.
For me, house sitting is more than just staying somewhere — it’s about trust, care, and creating peace of mind for homeowners while enjoying the company of pets and the comfort of a home.

Why they want to house sit

I enjoy traveling slowly and experiencing places like a local, rather than rushing through tourist spots. I love reading, exploring art and culture, and cycling through neighborhoods or countryside alike.

Their experience

I am looking for my first formal house-sitting experience, but already have extensive personal experience caring for pets and maintaining multiple homes/pied-à-terre’s across different countries, which is highly relevant and reassuring to homeowners.
