Kirsten and Iwan

Hello,

We (Kirsten, 50 and Iwan, 54) are a reliable, tidy and non-smoking easy going Dutch couple.

We started in June 2018 with house and pet sitting and we do this nonstop as a way of life. We have a lot of experience as pet and house sitters looking after cats, dogs, horses, birds and fishes (including giving medication) and we are used to deal with all kind of circumstances and energy and water systems. We also have good experiences managing B&B 's and we would love to do this again.

We lived for 17 years on the tropical island Curacao (Dutch Caribbean). We were home owners for more than 10 years and we had 3 dogs (adopted from the streets) and a land turtle. In January 2018 we sold everything (house, cars and stuff) and we started travelling the world together. We love to explore different cultures, meet new people and learn new languages. We can do so, because we are mobile workers. We don’t have children and that’s why we also love pets around us.

Kirsten is a virtual assistant manager for a Dutch nutrition company for 3 days per week. She was a property manager for 3 years for different home owners, who rented their houses/apartments to tourists. She did the check in/out and handled issues, if there were any. We have reference letters from these home owners and we can send them to you, if you want to.

Iwan is a leaae advisor for a Dutch company for 4 days per week. He likes sports and running and cycling in particular. We go 2 times per week to the gym, together.

In Europe we travel with our own car, so we are flexible in start/end dates in Europe.

We speak different languages:
Dutch, native language
English, fluently
German, good
Spanish, intermediate
French, intermediate by Iwan
Papiamentu, fluently (creole language in the Caribbean)

We are available for short term, mid-term and long term periods for house and pet sitting. We will treat your property and pets with all the respect. We see this as "a way of life" and not as a holiday, so we'll be putting a lot of efforts in good recommendations we want to receive from you. We don’t need much, only good stable internet for our part-time jobs.

Just give us a call if you consider us as your house/pet sitters. We are easy to contact via our Dutch mobile number without roaming costs in E.U. (also WhatsApp): +31-649557274

Kind regards,
Kirsten and Iwan
