About Heike & Stefan

59 years old | Solicitor assistant | As a couple/duo

About us:

We are Heike and Stefan, an early retired couple (electrical engineer and solicitor assistant) from southwest Germany. Married, with two adult children.

This gives us the great opportunity and freedom to travel with a very flexible schedule to our worldwide house / pet sits.

We are both healthy, pet lovers, reliable, honest, calm, well organized, tidy, kind and non-smokers.

Our hobbies are hiking, swimming, gardening, playing board games, reading, cooking and visiting local markets, museums and small concerts. Furthermore Heike loves baking bread and Stefan is an enthusiastic craft beer home brewer with his own built stainless steel brewing machine.


Why we want to house sit:

Housesitting is for us a wonderful possibility to feel at home while we are exploring the world, to live as locals at new places, with the unique chance to enhance our language skills (we speak English, a little French and Italian).

At the moment we have no own pets so we can connect two great things: pet sitting and house sitting.

Taking care about your pets, looking after your home and garden is an important responsibility for us, too. They are precious and will be treated with our love and welfare so we will give you peace of mind while you are away.


Our Experience:

We have taken several years care of animals and houses of friends and neighbours with their dogs and cats. Our children have had a little zoo with a grey parrot, two budgerigars, a guinea pig and fishes. Presently our daughter has two shy rescue cats.

As well as being even home-and-garden-owners (we renovated our house in the past step-by-step) we are practical experienced with any tasks of home repair and garden work.

Furthermore Heike has worked in a community vegetable garden a couple of years.

We have a memberchip with the Trusted Housesitters community. You can have a look at our profil and reviews here:

We have had lovely engagements in different parts of the world with unique and wonderful pets.

With this knowledge and our passion for discovering the world, we travelled around as workawayers, too.

Cela a été un plaisir de confier notre maison et notre chat, Luna, à Heike et Stefan. Nous sommes partis en toute confiance pendant trois semaines à plus de 11h d'avion de la France et nous avons eu des nouvelles régulières de Luna et du jardin. Heike et Stephan ont même construit des petits jeux pour distraire Luna qui n'a pas paru du tout traumatisée par notre absence! La maison sentait bon la cire quand nous sommes rentrés et le jardin et notre mini potager resplendissaient. Une belle rencontre, merci à eux.

Heike et Stefan sont arrivés la veille de notre départ en vacances. Nous avons pu faire connaissance avec une très bon échange en anglais, ce qui a permis de mieux nous connaitre. Nous leur avons montré nos animaux et la maison. Nous sommes partis en toute confiance pour la gestion de la maison pendant notre absence. Ils se sont très bien occupés de nos poules et de notre chatte Plume, avec une attention particulière pour ses 5 chattons. Heike et Stefan nous ont donnés régulièrement des nouvelles par messages, en photos et en vidéos tout au long du séjour, ce qui nous a permis de suivre le développement des petits chats et leurs nouveaux jeux ! A notre retour nous avons eu le plaisir de retrouver notre maison très bien tenue. Un grand merci à Heike et Stefan que nous recommandons pour leurs prochains séjours en France pour qu'ils puissent continuer à découvrir notre langue et nos territoires. Philippe

Heike et Stefan sont véritablement parfaits ! Avant tout, dès le premier contact, vous ressentez avec eux un sentiment de confiance et un rapport très amical s’établit directement. Et au final on se dit quel bonheur d’avoir eu chez nous de tels home sitters Nous avons retrouvé notre maison impeccable, notre chienne a été véritablement chouchoutée, promenée chaque jour, le jardin entretenu tout comme le potager. Avec nos tomates ils nous ont fait et laissé pour notre retour un délicieux coulis. Ils sont parfaitement autonomes... C’est bien simple, ils méritent largement tous les badges proposés pour l’évaluation, ce sont des perles rares, rares d’efficacité, d’intelligence et de simplicité. Heike et Stefan, vous êtes un couple formidable, un couple désormais d’amis ! Un immense merci pour la tranquillité morale que nous avons eu pendant les vacances grâce à vous ! Nous espérons bien vous revoir.

Heike and Stefan were exceptional house sitters. Over a dinner we had a wonderful first contact, we could see immediately that we could trust them ! Heike and Stefan are very nice people, open to others, curious, willing to discover the country and fast to adapt. We had regular contact during the house sitting, nice pictures from our cats and the countryside. They did an awesome job in the house, we have never seen it in such a state ! They had a great contact with our pets who surely miss them now. Heike and Stefan are very reliable and if ever they'd like to come back here, they'd be much welcome !!!
