Ruben, Marjolijn & Jelene are fantastic house sitters. They are well organized, Ruben will ask you all the questions you didn’t think of before leaving your house and animals, this makes you feel very relieved and assured everything is in good hands. They love animals, they will take your dogs everywhere they go, if necessary even in their own car. Your dogs will get a lot of exercise and attention. They are clean, like a tidy place and will leave your house as clean as you have left it! Highly flexibility is also very handy, even if an emergency occurs they are able to adapt/extend their stay if needed. I still forgot a lot of other thoughtful and positive elements, just talk to them and get to know them! You’ll love them. So look no further, they are the ones you need!

Why we want to house sit

Our love for animals greatly drives our desire to house and pet sit. We believe life is immeasurably more beautiful and lively with animals around. While our love for travel and our need for flexibility mean we can't own animals ourselves
