House sitting in Germany

Love animals, hearty food, great beverages and beautiful scenery? It’s time to say hello to house sitting in Germany.

From Berlin to Bavaria, pets across Germany need people like you to keep them safe at home while their owners are away. If you’re a kind and caring pet lover, you can find free accommodation in Germany by caring for cute animals. Stay with a Dachshund in Hamburg, care for alpacas in the Alps or wander with a four-pawed friend through the famous Black Forest - what animal-filled fairytale will you find while house sitting in Germany?

Berlin

In Germany, house sitting is an exciting way to explore and enjoy exciting outdoor activities. Discover the thriving street art in Berlin as you walk the streets and identify new works by local artists. A popular spot for street art is the East Side Gallery, featuring artworks painted on the remnants of the Berlin Wall. Marvel at modern architecture at Bauhaus buildings in Dessau, a few metres south of Berlin. Dogs aren’t allowed inside, but the exterior is still a sight to behold. You can also have coffee and snacks in the café while your pet friend enjoys some treats.

Potsdam

Are you taking care of a dog in Germany? Ensure you stop by Potsdam and enjoy the charming city with your furry friends. Sanssouci Park is a picturesque hilly area featuring grand palaces and an open green space for pets to frolic in. While dogs aren’t allowed inside the four palaces, you can stroll around the castles and marvel at the exquisite exteriors. The Sanssouci Palace has flowerbeds, lawns and orchards with grapevines growing on the terraces. Check out the beautiful sculptures in front of the Orangery Palace or take a walk on the forested paths in the park.

Do you want to explore Northern Germany? Find house sitting jobs in Bremen and explore the historic town. You can take a day trip with your four-legged companion from Hamburg and wander through the Schnoor Quarter. The House of History Museum (Bremer Geschichtenhaus) permits dogs, too.

Hamburg

If you are taking care of a dog in Germany, make sure you explore Hamburg and participate in the outdoor activities.
