Our experience

10+ years

We both grew up with dogs and cats. For the last couple of years, we've done some house/pet sitting for family and friends, and we would love to do it more frequently now for other people.

Rene is a friend who I have known since high school. He is a loyal person that you can trust. His house is always very clean and tidy. He is also very interested in new cultures and environments. I also think he is very caring for pets, since they had a dog when he was young.
