Anne & Robert

Recently retired we are looking forward to staying in the UK for longer periods. We'd love to care for your house and your pets and to get to know your area.
About us: I have worked in the Museum of Ettlingen, Germany, mainly in the educational section and my husband has managed our city's Cultural Department.
We both love hiking and the outdoors. My husband loves playing folk music on his accordion and playing the organ in church from time to time.
We are DIY people, love building furniture, decorating and gardening.

For many years England has been our second home. We have volunteered at a National Trust stately home in the South West every summer for 12 years. Belonging to a community and contributing to an organization we admire was much preferred to just travelling as a tourist. We made friends and would love to get to know more people and much more of our favourite country.
Friends we met through volunteering are happy to have us housesitting their property every year while we stay. We love looking after the garden and the house. We are houseowners ourselves and would look after yours like our own.
Currantly we don't own pets but over the years we have had two dogs and guinea pigs, as well as cats, chickens, budgies and even white mice :) in our youth.
Our daughter is always happy to have us as her dogsitter.
With our children we have had many holidays at various farms and loved the different animals.
So we're looking forward to meeting you and your pets and exploring the area where you're living!
