“Having Jeannette and Thijs house sit this summer has been a wonderful experience for us and our menagerie of 3 cats and 2 dogs. Jeannette and Thijs are a delightful couple who endeared themselves to us immediately. They are both kind, caring and gentle and we had absolutely no doubt our home and furry friends would be in very capable hands. Our poorly cat was much doted on and was much stronger and more lively upon our return which was a huge relief. The house was beautiful and clean and we could not have wished for a more friendly welcoming home than we got from them. Nothing was too much trouble. We were lucky enough to spend a bit of time with Jeannette and Thijs after our vacation to get to know them better. They both have fabulous senses of humour and we all thoroughly enjoyed their company. I would not hesitate to recommend them as fabulous house sitters and would welcome them back to our home any time!" Claire, Newbury, UK August 2017
Together, my husband and I have owned and loved seven dogs (Golden Retrievers, Dalmatian, Dachshund, Shih Tzu and German Shepherds), four cats (Siamese and tabby), turtles, parakeets, fish, rabbits, ducks, chickens and, in years past, exercised and groomed other people’s horses. We also have experience administering medication to ailing animals. Having lived on a small, Pacific island for ten years where we ran our vacation rental business one has to be prepared to remedy any number of situations which may arise at a moments notice. My husbands background is in oenology and computer science.and I was a researcher at university and am a writer/artist. We are patient and calm with a great sense of humor!
Why I want to house sit
We sold our business in 2016 and are looking forward to visiting other areas. As we no longer have our own pets we would thoroughly enjoy loving and caring for your beloved pets as if they were our own!
My experience
Having immensely enjoyed owning and managing our rental business (with excellent references!) we are very well equipped to take care of your home. Our worldwide clients gave us a great experience as well as great ratings with VRBO and AirBnB. We are both international travelers, nonsmokers and financially independent. We are a sociable, educated, organized and down to earth, vibrant couple with skills in gardening, pools, water filtration systems, wood burning stoves, computers, electrical, plumbing and general maintenance. Please let us know if you would like to Skype with us. Warm regards - Jeannette & Thijs

This is the second time we've had the pleasure of leaving our home and cat to Jeannette & Thijs. They are wonderful people who will take perfect care of your home and pets. Thank you, J&T!

Jeannette and Thijs were ideal responsible house/petsitters. They treated my house with utmost respect and as if it were their own. All 3 of my dogs (Little Ricky, Ruby and Babaloo) were so happy and pampered with their care, that they barely showed any interest in my upon my return. That's always a great sign! Jeannette and Thijs sent pictures and were in contact frequently sending pictures and videos, etc. Thijs even changed my heater filter without my asking. Wow! For peace of mind, I recommend them highly.

It was our first time using TrustedHouseSitters but we were very pleased with how smooth and easy everything was. Jeannette & Thijs were lovely guests. The house was left nice and clean and tidy, and our puppy was well taken care of.
They were self reliant and easy to contact if we had any quest...It was our first time using TrustedHouseSitters but we were very pleased with how smooth and easy everything was. Jeannette & Thijs were lovely guests. The house was left nice and clean and tidy, and our puppy was well taken care of.
