About Sandra & Julian
We are open-minded, easy going, empathetic, happy and active persons who always are curious about life and its adventures. We love being in nature, sunshine, swimming in the ocean, fresh fruits and vegetable, traveling, guitar music and a lot of more things.

We are open-minded, easy going, empathetic, happy and active persons who always are curious about life and its adventures. We love being in nature, sunshine, swimming in the ocean, fresh fruits and vegetable, traveling, guitar music and a lot of more things.
Sandra works at a teacher at a primary school. She has a lot of experiences in taking care for children. When she was 20 she was an AuPair in Spain. Since then she made a lot of experiences in jobs like baby swimming, free time activities for children, outdoor activities and freelancing in diverse companies during her study "Sport sciences". In her free time she does orienteering, yoga and listening to music.
Julian is an educator for children. He also works at a primary school. He won his experiences in taking care for children at an children´s home and at diverse schools. He loves playing the guitar and teaching it. In his free time he plays guitar in 2 bands and he does fencing since 10 years.
Our little family (Leif, Julian and Sandra) will travel around New Zealand for three month (22.11. - 12.2.18). It is the last chance for us before school starts.
Leif is 5 almost 6 years old and a very empathetic and responsible child. He loves to play with dogs and cats. He actually grows up with them, so he has a very good handling with pets.
Why we want to house sit
It's a great oportunity for both sides...a win-win-situation, from which both parts can have benefits. We like the idea of giving and taking and the spirit of house/ pet sitting. And we just love animals and pets. During Christmas we love to be in a quiet place for two or three weeks. So it would be perfect spending time in a house with some lovely pets and enjoying the time around Christmas.
Our experience
Sandra grew up with rabbits, cats and dogs. She has experiences with horses while spending her vacacion on a Farm. When she is at her grandma´s home she always used to run with her dog one or two times a day. She also took care of her cats. In the last month/ years Sandra took care of the dog of her fathers home when they were on vacation.
Julian even had a dog at his house. Right now he has a cat and two birds. Sometimes he takes care of the dog of his friend. So he also has lots of experiences.

Sandra and Julian, who I know from work, offered me to help me out by taking my dog Linus for walks.
Linus is not easy to handle. He is a rescue dog from a Spanish shelter. Outside he is very active and sometimes quite nervous.For that reason it‘s hard for me to entrust somebody with Linus, but at that point, I had no other choice.
I have to say that it worked out perfect!! Sandra and Julian have a very calm and patient way to handle dogs (and humans too ;-)). Linus was always happy to see them and go along with them. When he came home after the long walks I could tell that he was really balanced.
Sandra and Julian are absolutely reliable and trustworthy and I can really recomment them as animal- or housesitters!!- Organised

While we were on holiday for 3 weeks Julian adapted to our dog Linus. He regularly gave him something to eat and took him out. Since Linus is very old and stubborn, he needed a lot of attention. Julian always took a lot of time for Linus and worked intensively with him. We are very satisfied with Julian. He looked after Linus wonderfully. Julian is very reliable and caring. He has a very responsible dealing with animals. Its calm and patient nature has a positive effect on animals. Linus felt very comfortable.

During the period from September 2004 to August 2005 (11 months) Sandra lived in our house in Madrid. She worked as an au pair helping us with our four children and became a member of our family. During this time, we were able to get to know her very well, not only in her person, but also in her capacity to take on a task at the professional level with effectiveness and responsibility.
On a daily basis, she took care of our four children (11, 8, 5 and 3 years) for six hours, taking care of them, showing seriousness and maturity, both the ability to take responsibility and act independently. With a tremendous ability to communicate and adapt, she always showed a lot of initiative and activity when it came to playing with the children. Her good tact and smile should not be forgotten.
While she was taking care of the children, she gave them German lessons. Her dealings with the children were very comprehensive: She was able to assess when it was appropriate to ask and make decisions when it was necessary to act in an independent way. She treated the children with much love and affection. Especially when it came to settling a dispute between them, she had acted steadily and safely. In constant consultation with us she was always included in the childrens education at all times. She is very capable of all professions in connection with children. And more importantly, she knew from the beginning how to win the affection and confidence of the children.
She took the cultural differences between Spain and her country of origin very well, showing both patience and flexibility, as well as a very positive and open-minded attitude. Sandra showed a high maturity for her age, which allowed her to assess situations of any kind, to be constant in her actions and to behave in an appropriate form under any circumstances. In addition, she has a good ability to learn: already at the beginning of the year it was quiet easy for her to get used to her new responsibilities. Then she has made considerable progress during the year. Over time, she has learned our customs and our language.
If only three things were to be emphasized, it would be her high maturity, her ability to make herself popular, and her eternal happiness. 13 years after that experience, we still keep in touch with her. She is absolutely the best!- Organised
