We are a Swiss Couple, living since 9 years on our old dutch barge converted to a houseboat and travel with it during the summer months through Europe. In winter we try to find an interesting place to stay, either on our ship or in a small apartement on land. Travelling at really slow speed, but experience local life, that's what we think is the true spirit of our lifestyle.
We still have a house with a big garden in Switzerland that is rented out, but at the moment we love to travel a lot to see the world off the tourist tracks. We have visited all continents of the earth, about 100 countries in all.
We speak Swiss German, German, French, English (all of them fluently) and some Italian.
We are non-smokers and no party people.
Why we want to house sit
We love to travel, but on a slow pace. That means staying at one place for a longer time, even for 1 or 2 months, to really experience the living there, not only tourist-rushing-through.
House sitting gives us the chance to see new places, meet great people and taking good care of their loved animals and their home as they would be ours.
Our experience
I always had cats (true cat person) and our beloved dog (a Hovawart) lived with us (my husband and I) for 14 years.
And we cared for the birds (20 Loris) of our neighbour when they went for their house in Italy. We know how a truly loved pet is a part of the family and we want to give yours that attention and care, too!
Our house has (for Switzerland) a quite big garden with a pond. So, taking care of a garden is no problem at all. The house is rented to a young couple, as we travel a lot to see as much of the world as we can.
You can be sure that we will treat your pets and your home as if they were ours!

Matz and Hansrüedi were just amazing. I couldn’t have left my dog in better hands. Such a relief, going away from your pet without having to worry about him. Matz kept me posted daily with their activities. Matz and Hansrüedi took great care of my house and even did a few jobs for me.

I highly recommend them to care for your pets/home.- Organised

Response from Matz & Hans rudolf
Our stay at Jayne's house was really a great experience. She is a welcoming person and as we arrived the evening before, we had enough time to get all the information needed for the housesit. Vincent is a happy Weimaraner who loves long walks and we really did explore the region with him.
Richterswil has lots of charm being a traditional village of the canton Zurich. It's not really close to Zurich itself, but the views of the lake are just stunning.
Overall a very enjoyable house-and petsit. Highly recommended for people who have some experience with bigger and stronger dogs. We would love to come back and care for Vincent again! -
