About Jana & Joe

46 years old | Fashion Designer | As a couple/duo

We're in love since 20 years! We both worked for my own company (www.royalblush.ch). I am a sustainable fashion designer and Joe worked as an Access database programmer. We are an engaged, conscientious, resourceful & down-to-earth couple, loving to travel in the company of furry friends!

We realized we worked to many years, too many hours and not enough taking time for the 'real' life. In April 2019 we embarked on our new adventure, traveling the world as full-time house sitters.

Slowing down the pace of life, while giving attention to the small things everyday has in store for us. Getting to know and care for all these different little furry and feathery personalities is the biggest joy for us and leaves the most lasting memories we ever could have imagined! It enables us to follow our passion of traveling, without missing out on the comfort of furry friends and a home, at the same time as giving you peace of mind to enjoy your travels.

We hope to safe-guard your pets with our loving company, taking care of your home & belongings as we would do for ours.

SITTING EXPERIENCE:
To date, we have experienced over 40 house- and pet sits around the world and having really enjoyed these opportunities very much! Besides sharing lots of cuddles and love, we handled every day hick-ups, like freeing the pets from ticks, cleaning & tending a fighting wound, controlling the pool filtering system, detecting and arranging the fixing for a defective watering system (and watering the garden in the meantime), securing the loose fixings of a satellite dish on the roof after a storm, planting herbs, finding a lost cat from the rainforest (after several days search!) and fixing many broken vacuumers... By now Joe is a Dyson Expert :-)

Es war eine sehr große Erleichterung, Jana & Joe bei uns zu Hause zu wissen, so dass wir unsere über 4monatige Auszeit wirklich genießen konnten. Die Beiden haben unseren Kater Mikesch in einer schwierigen, gesundheitlichen Situation unglaublich liebevoll und detailliert beobachtend betreut. Sie standen mit unserer Tierärztin sowie uns im engen Austausch über den Gesundheitszustand, haben eigene Erfahrungen eingebracht, so dass unser Mikesch im Moment medikamentenfrei sein Katerleben genießt. Vielen lieben Dank dafür.

Nous avons eu plaisir à accueillir Jana et Joe chez nous. Le courant est de suite passé. Les échanges ont été fluides et fréquents. Nous avons partagé beaucoup de points communs et de très belle conversations. Nos chats ont été chouchoutés et je les ai retrouvés très détendus à mon retour. Notre jardin, ainsi que la maison étaient impeccables. Je ferais volontiers de nouveau appel à eux si le besoin se représentait et bien sûr, s'ils sont disponibles. En tout cas, très belle expérience et je leur souhaite le meilleur.

Dank Jana und Joe, konnten wir nach 4Jahren wieder einmal Urlaub in unserer Heimat machen ! Wir hatten schon Kontakt mit ihnen, bevor wir abreisten und waren uns ganz sicher, das sind genau die Richtigen ! Sie kamen schon 3 Tage vorher bei uns an, so konnten wir ihnen alles Wichtige erklären. Schließlich mussten die Beiden uns 6 Wochen vertreten, sicher nicht so einfach ! Jana und Joe meisterten alles mit „links“. Wir waren dank what’sapp immer auf dem laufenden, als wären wir selbst vor Ort. Unsere Katze Simba hat sich sehr wohl gefühlt und die Streicheleinheiten genossen ! Eigentlich hat sie Angst vor Fremden, aber die Zwei, hat sie sofort akzeptiert, was natürlich für uns sehr beruhigend war ! Als wir dann nach 6 Wochen wieder bei uns Zuhause angekommen sind, war das Haus Blitzblank und Simba wohlauf ! Wir können Jana und Joe wärmstens empfehlen ! Und sagen auf diesem Weg noch einmal , herzlichen Dank für Alles !

This was my very first experience in house and pet sitter, and really, it couldn’t be better. Joe and Jana are extremely fair people, loving cats and caring about the house. They lived in the house treating it with care, even fixing some things that didn’t work. They took great care of the cats and left me with a very detailed analysis of their behavior, in order to help me find solutions to live better with my kittens. Thanks to them, I will be much more serene in facing another long trip. Joe and Jana are discreet people, but at the same time very attentive and can deal with and solve any situation that may arise. I highly recommend to all those who need it, to welcome them in their own home hoping that they have the luck that they are free for the dates they want!
