About this sitter

We are a semi-retired married couple from South Africa.
*Francois is a retired language professional and currently does simultaneous interpretation, English/French, mainly via Zoom.
*Trish is mom to 3 adult children, all of whom live overseas.
She does freelance English proofreading and editing.
We are both healthy and fit and enjoy walking and experiencing new geographic locations.

Why they want to house sit

We are keen to spend some time in Israel, Germany or Ireland to enjoy the culture and lifestyle. It suits us to spend time in one place, so that we can get to know a specific area and absorb its atmosphere.
We are happy to be in a rural setting but would need access to public transport.
We have travelled to all 3 of these countries in recent years.

Their experience

We have completed a two-month housesitting assignment in Austria.

What can they bring to the assignment

We are adept at looking after pets, managing domestic staff and contractors, doing shopping and other household errands when required.
Trish is very experienced with practical housekeeping, gardening, DIY etc.
We are both have valid drivers' licences.
We have EU and Swiss passports.
