As a couple/duo
We are a responsible, friendly couple (or one of us if preferred) who treat peoples Homes and Pets with care and respect.
We have had successful careers in project and property management and now retired whilst running a modest property portfolio remotely. We pride ourselves on giving folks accommodation they can truly call home and we treat other peoples pets and homes as we would like ours to be treated in return.
We take our responsibilities seriously and, as well as our considerable life experience, have recently completed an Animal Welfare diploma course as well as an advanced Pet First Aid course.
We also have House Sitter Insurance in place and clean Criminal Background checks.
So if you are looking for mature, dependable folks who are respectful and proactive when caring for people's property and pets, then you have found them and can be sure they are in safe hands.
We wish you and yours health and happiness for the coming year:-)
Best regards, Ian and Ingrid

Hallau, Switzerland - July 2026
Wir können Ingrid und Ian als Tier- und Haussitter von ganzem Herzen weiterempfehlen. Sie haben drei Monate unsere Katzen Mena und Muck sehr liebevoll betreut und uns täglich Fotos unserer sehr zufriedenen Katzen geschickt. Wir konnten unseren langen Aufenthalt im Ausland geniessen, im Wissen, dass unsere Katzen und unser Haus gut betreut waren. Ingrid und Ian sind liebevoll, zuverlässig und flexibel. Obwohl sie selber Einiges organisieren mussten, damit sie so lange bleiben konnten, haben sie dies möglich gemacht. Wir sind ihnen sehr dankbar. Die tägliche Kommunikation mit ihnen war sehr freundschaftlich und unkompliziert. Wir wurden über alles jederzeit informiert, auch mit Bilder. Leider war das Wetter in diesen Monaten ungewöhnlich heiss, so dass es im Garten viel mehr zu tun gab, als eigentlich vorher geplant. Das hat uns leid getan. So gab es sehr viel zu giessen für sie. Ingrid und Ian haben das Haus in einem tadellosen Zustand für uns hinterlassen, so dass wir unser Ankommen geniessen konnten. Unsere Katzen werden die intensive und liebevolle Betreuung sicher vermissen. Vielen herzlichen❤️ Dank für Alles.
Lausanne, Switzerland - January 2026
Ian and Ingrid were wonderful hosts. I felt comfortable and reassured from the start. Communication was super easy, they sent regular updates and pictures, and they took great care of our home. They left it clean, new bedding, and some food in the fridge for our return. A very thoughtful couple that I would very much recommend. Thank you, Ian and Ingrid
Tavira, Portugal - December 2025
Ian and Ingrid were fabulous. We were away for 1 month and received lots of pictures and updates. Very personable and easy to communicate with. Our home (left immaculate) and cat were very well taken care of. We'll be inviting them back next time we travel. Highly recommend.

Ian and Ingrid are outstanding house sitters and lovely people. Great communication from start to finish. They looked after our cat Sam with wonderful care, and kept our apartment in great shape whilst we were away. I would highly recommend them without hesitation.
