Cat lover Couple Ready to House Sit

About this sitter

We are Ildiko and Norbert, a dedicated and responsible couple who are eager to embark on our house sitting journey. I'm a retired company manager from the mobile network installation sector, and my wife has years of experience managing our own home with a big garden and two of our appartments. With this combination of professional management and domestic care, we bring a unique blend of skills to house sitting.

As lifelong cat lovers, we understand the care and attention pets need and enjoy their companionship. We're comfortable with all aspects of pet care and promise to treat any pets we look after as if they were our own. We are also non-smokers, and we maintain a clean and healthy living environment. In our garden, we divide the tasks between us. Ildiko is in charge of the ornamental garden, while I, Norbert, am responsible for the vegetable garden which is our hobby.

As our kids grown-up, in our retirement, we're looking to explore new areas and communities. House sitting provides us with the perfect opportunity to do this. We're open to a variety of locations and are particularly drawn to places where we can enjoy local culture and nature.

We understand how important it is to keep a home safe and well-maintained. With our background, you can trust us to take good care of your home, garden, and pets. We look forward to offering peace of mind to homeowners who entrust their homes to us.

Why they want to house sit

We want to house sit because it combines our love for travel, exploration, and our passion for pets, particularly cats. As a retired couple, we have the time and freedom to immerse ourselves in new communities and experiences, and house sitting provides a perfect avenue for this. It gives us the opportunity to live like locals in different places, rather than simply being tourists.

Additionally, we find joy and comfort in maintaining a home and caring for pets. We see house sitting as a way to provide service and value to others while doing something we love. It's not just about seeing new places, but also about building connections with homeowners and their pets, and contributing to the peace of mind of others by ensuring their homes and beloved pets are well cared for in their absence.

Their experience

Yes, we are quite experienced when it comes to taking care of properties and understanding the trust involved in such arrangements. We have successfully completed more than 15 home exchanges rated 4.9 of 5.0. This experience has not only taught us the importance of caring for others' homes as if they were our own but also allowed us to understand the nuances and responsibilities that come with it.

In addition, we are homeowners ourselves, with a house and two apartments. This means we fully understand the day-to-day tasks and occasional challenges that can come with maintaining a property. Whether it's general upkeep, dealing with unexpected issues, or just ensuring everything runs smoothly, we have a wealth of experience to draw upon.

Furthermore, our love for cats and past experiences caring for them adds to our capabilities in looking after homes with pets. So, whether it's a home or a pet, we are well equipped to handle the responsibilities that come with house sitting
