We are Dutch. We stopped in 2005 with our work and start to travel. In 2014 we came back. Now It's 2015 and time for a new chapter in our lives.

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.

The wonderful Peter and Trudy came to Switzerland for Christmas 2018 to watch our Bernese Mountain dog Lottie and they again exceeded all expectations (this was their second time with us). They sent us plenty of pictures of Lottie, kept the apartment in amazing shape, fixed our upstairs bathroom pipes, and even stayed a day later than planned when we had a flight problem. They are really amazing people and we're happy we've met them as friends. You'd be very lucky to have them watch your home and animals! I hope we can have a third visit with them this coming year!

Amazing! This couple were truly wonderful, came home to a lovely clean house and two happy well groomed Persian boys.
Pics were sent every day, odd jobs around my house were done, even my hard to reach windows were sparkling clean.

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
