We are a fit and active, retired, couple living in The Netherlands. Experienced travellers, we enjoy spending time in new places, living like locals. We are tidy and reliable without any children, pets or other commitments. We like short and long term house sit. Around the world and under any climate.
We are easy-going and honest. Non-smoking and used to live in a remote and crowded areas. We know what it takes to build your house or sailer. We love animals and take our task serious. We speak Dutch, English, German, and can have conversations in Spanish.
We have travelled for ten years over land and stayed an average of six months in the countries. We have sailed two years in the Caribbean with our ship. We know, without any stress, to respond to many situations.
Caring and loving for your animals and house. You can leave without worrying that your house will be in perfect condition when you return. We will communicate with you through either emails, phone calls or text while you are away to give you piece of mind. We have common sense and we are able to fix just about anything if need be.
Why we want to house sit
The reason we do this? You have responsibilities, and thus you stand differently in the local community. This is for us an important reason. The essential difference between house sitter and traveller.
We have had house sitters in our own homes; we loved the security in knowing that our home and pets were well cared for in our absents. We desire to offer this level of peace of mind and service to you.
We want to housesit, because it takes us to great places! We meet great people and we get to care for others homes as we do our monument from 1840! We love big cities and small villages in the countryside.
After years of traveling we bought, in 2014, a house in our hometown in The Netherlands. We like it very much, but we lack the stay among other cultures and climates. We can also do long term housesitting assignments. So for us this would be perfect.
Our experience
We already have experiences in Curacao, Chile, Spain, Namibia, Surinam, Martinique, Germany, Qatar, Singapore, England, Portugal, Switzerland, Belgium, Ras al Khaimah and Madeira. We took care for animals, houses, estates and other properties like sailing boats. End 2015 we brought een terrain car van Ushuaïa in South Argentina to Paramaribo in Surinam. Therefor we crossed the Andes and Amazonas.
We have had our own cats for 18 years, and we have prepared puppies for 1 year as a blind-headed dog or for PTSD-traumatized people.

Having said that as context, the only thing we can say about Peter and Trudy is ....Perfect, perfect, perfect!
Communication before and during the sit was perfect - preparation involved a visit before the sit ( they live close by) but they say they usually have a Skype call for people further away. During the visit they provide daily updates and photographs.
When we returned the animals were relaxed and happy and clearly enjoyed being with Peter and Trudy. The house was immaculately clean and they had gone out of their way to ensure our arrival Home was welcoming.
I just cannot recommend them enough.
Thank you Peter and Trudy- Organised

It is difficult to say anything other than 'Perfect House Sitters' for Peter & Trudy: our dogs were so well cared for & walked regularly, the house was spotless when we returned, Peter even offered to take us to & from the airport. They are also a charming couple to get to know, and we can only hope they are available again the next time we go on holiday. Any other host should not hesitate to have the utmost confidence in having Peter & Trudy sit for them.

Response from Peter & Trudy
It was an absolute pleasure to take care of Lula and Scarlet in their beautiful home of Richard & Christine! Christine and Richard are beautiful and interesting people, they made us feel a warm welcome during our sit. The dogs have the most interesting and charming little personalities. Lula is a young lady who loves to play the boss, while Scarlet likes to play and run. Both dogs are in any case very happy in your neighborhood.
The house itself is located in a beautiful small suburb just outside the city center of Brussels in the cosmopolitan district of Ixelles. The house is located at the Terkamerenbos which is perfect for beautiful walks. We advise you to take care of the sweet pets of Pam & Jan :). Go for it. -

Really exceptional, caring people! Peter and Trudy stayed at our flat in Geneva for Christmas and New Years 2018 and watched our Bernese Mountain Dog and HouseCat. They did an amazing job with our animals and flat - they really went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable while we were away - they sent lots of kind notes, pictures from their time in Geneva...Peter even fixed our laundry machine :)! I can't say enough kind things about these two and hope to stay in touch with them in the future. They are such nice, well-traveled people. This was our first experience with the TrustedHousesitters site - we're so grateful for this service and so happy we met Trudy and Peter!

Response from Peter & Trudy
Making someone happy is the best thing you can do. We are very proud and happy that we succeeded. Your place is very comfortable and perfect to stay for exploring the city and hiking in the mountains. Lottie is a well-behaved dog and keeps you moving. Excellent.
Thank you for your beautiful words and we hope to see you again in the Netherlands or Switzerland.
