We are an animal and nature loving couple from Germany / Austria. We have been happily married for 9 years, living and working together for even longer.
Yoga, cooking, reading, making short films, hiking and traveling are among the things we enjoy, but our passion really is caring for cats. Playing, cuddling, feeding, brushing ... it never get's old! Andrea wrote all her children's books with at least one cat sitting on her lap (or laptop!) and Alex 's composing has always been greatly enhanced by a cat's happy purr.
Despite being very fond of the outdoors and going for daily walks (with or without a dog), we like to spend our time in and around the house, especially for quiet evenings. Also we are very tidy and reliable, non-drinking, non-smoking vegetarians.
Why we want to house sit
While traveling we've always preferred staying in private homes (apartments, houses, cottages, house boats ...) rather than hotels. Those places quickly felt like home to us and we treated them responsibly and with respect for the owners and their belongings.
Having rented out our own house in Germany for the upcoming three years, we now want to explore different places in the world while having the opportunity to enjoy the company of animals and doing something meaningful at the same time.
Our experience
Andrea has always had cats since she was a baby, Alex cared for the family dog for over 15 years. As a couple we had cats living with us for over 10 years. We are skilled in taking care of elderly cats including cooking special meals and giving medication. Our experience includes looking after stray animals and traumatized cats.
We are house owners ourselves (see link to our house below) so we know about all the relevant responsibilities.

We do have previous house & pet sitting experience, but we are new to TrustedHousesitters so the only reviews we got so far are from rentals like Airbnb:
"Alex was a delight to communicate with. He was very respectful of the space and left the house is excellent condition. My only regret is that I didn't get to met him and his wife in person. I would highly recommend them as guests in your home."
"Alex & Andrea were perfect guests in our home. They left it just as clean and perfect as when they arrived. We would gladly have them as guests again. We hope to cross their paths again one day :-)"
"Lovely couple who stayed with us whilst on a walking holiday - we hope we gave you an enjoyable ( albeit short) stay with us !!"
We are looking forward to taking care of all kinds of animals and homes around the world!

Alex and Andrea are a lovely couple taking very special care of our Tabby in their four day stay. Tb is elderly and frail and in need of TLC much of the time including the unmentionables bless him - and them. I cannot praise them enough and pleased to receive an email and photo each day, he is a handful at times although a sweet old gent. I would love to think Andrea and Alex will return one day and we wish them all the best on their travels.
I have no hesitation in recommending them as sitters, the house was clean and tidy and the bedding washed and almost dry by the time we arrived home. Thank you A and A- Organised

Response from Alex & Andrea
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We still think & talk about sweet Tabby a lot! We even imitate his distinctive "meow". Haha, yes we really are crazy cat lovers. :o)
All the best to you and love & cuddles to the old boy.
Best

Alex worked for our company Swiss Ladies Drive GmbH, based in Switzerland as an “event video producer" on several occasions since 2011. He is extremely reliable and always delivers an excellent product on time. Interacting with our (often VIP) guests on our high class events can be a sensible task that he accomplishes with ease any time. Alex and Andrea have already been lovely guests in our house and I would let him house & pet sit at our place today without hesitation!

Alex and Andrea stayed in our cottages for 2 months, during which we got to know them very well. They are a delightful couple, very quiet, considerate, non-drinking / non-smoking vegans. The cottages were always very clean and tidy. We would definitely trust them to house sit for us.

Andrea and Alex are wonderful people. I´ve known them for a long time and have seen many houses and pets they had and took care of. They keep the house clean and tidy and take good care of all animals as if they were their own. They are the perfect sitters.
