Heike & Stefan

If you are looking for a reliable and experienced housesitter couple anywhere around the world get in touch. We will take care for your pets and look after your property free of charge in exchange for accommodation. Also happy for longterm sits.
Since joining the housesitting community on various platforms in 2016, we have been absolutely thrilled and fortunate enough to complete almost 70 fantastic housesits worldwide with unique and wonderful pets, all of which have received excellent 5-star reviews from our hosts.

We are Heike and Stefan, an early retired couple (electrical engineer and solicitor assistant) from southwest Germany. Both in the early sixties, married with two grown up children. This gives us the great opportunity and freedom to travel with a flexible schedule to our worldwide house and pet sits.
In the past we looked after pets and homes of friends and neighbours, including their dogs and cats. Our children had a small zoo with an African Grey parrot, two budgies, a guinea pig, and fish.

We are both healthy, love animals and gardening, are reliable, honest, calm, well-organized, tidy, friendly and non-smokers.

We enjoy hiking, swimming, gardening, playing board games, reading, cooking and visiting local markets, museums and small concerts. Heike is also a passionate sourdough bread baker and she has worked furthermore in a community vegetable garden a couple of years while Stefan is an enthusiastic homebrewer who brews craft beer with his self-built stainless steel brewing system.

Housesitting is a wonderful way for us to feel at home while exploring the world, to live like locals in new places and to improve our language skills (we speak English, a little French and Italian).

Caring for your pets, as well as maintaining your home and garden, is an important part of our work. They are precious and will be treated with love and care, so you don't have to worry while you are away.

As homeowners ourselves (we renovated our house step by step in the past), we have practical experience with all kinds of home repairs and garden work. Therefore, we also understand the specific characteristics of older properties.
Both of us have a clean German and international driving license and we are experienced drivers of both sides of the road.
