“Tanja is everything you can hope for from a house/pet sitter!” Chris, Portugal

Loving and experienced (certified animal psychologist) care for your four-legged friend and/or your home

Welcome to my sitter service! Here you will find a trustworthy and caring care for your pet and home if you are not there. With years of experience, a passion for animals and qualified training as an animal psychologist, I ensure that your pet is in the best hands. Your pets can stay in their beloved environment and therefore have less stress. And your home is not empty and unprotected.

Your animal in its familiar surroundings

This makes it comfortable, has less stress and can keep its normal routine.

Your house in good hands

Your house is not empty during your trip. The Post does not swell in the mailbox, newspapers are not lying around. Someone is there and takes care of your home.

Daily Updates

Daily pictures and videos keep you up to date so that you can enjoy your trip.

Long-term house sits

Particularly longer trips from 1 month need a trusting person to whom you want to entrust your animal and at home.

Exclusive houses

I specialize in unusual and exclusive houses. Beach villa, chálet or a castle, no house is too unusual.

Worldwide

My house sits have already brought me to Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, New Zealand, Australia, USA, UK, Switzerland, Denmark and much more countries.

About me

Hello, I am Tanja, an experienced sitter and digital nomad with a large heart for animals. For over 9 years I have been looking after dogs, cats and other pets. As an animal psychologist, I understand the needs and behaviors of dogs & cats and make sure that they feel safe and loved during your absence. My calm and caring manner makes me the ideal supervisor for animals of all kinds.

Why I’m a house sitter

I like to do the house sits because I can explore different places, and it is nice to stay in a private house. I don’t feel like a tourist, but experience the area in which I stay more like a local. Animals are great shareholders so as not to feel alone, and I always have a smile on my face when animals are nearby. In addition, it is much less stress for the animals if they are in their familiar surroundings and for homeowners more relaxed if someone can take care of the house all around, and it is inhabited.

Born 1978 in Germany without children, but with a big heart for animals. In July 2015 I started my new life as a digital nomad and also started as a house sitter via a platform. For me, a perfect combination of visiting new places and the care of animals. I have been working as a house sitter since 2016 and have worked in Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the USA, Thailand and many other countries.

I have a company in the United States, work for German customers and help them with their online marketing. This gives me freedom to work and live all over the world, which I have done since 2015. In November 2020 I completed my training as an animal psychologist. So you can be sure that your beloved pet is in good hands.

As a person, I am calm, caring, friendly, and trustworthy. Animals relax when I am around very easily and tend to trust me. I also have good mechanical skills and can maintain your home.

FAQs

What is the minimum stay?

If I am close to you and in between sits, I am available for short term sits. Otherwise, I usually start with a minimum of 14 days.

Do I have to pay for your travel and living costs?

I take care of my own costs. Nevertheless, money to do purchases for the pets and in an emergency for veterinarian should be provided.

Do I have to pay for extra services?

The basic service is to take care of your pets and keep your house clean like you would do.

Special additional effort is calculated fair, but extra.

For example:
Journeys for grooming
Garden work that goes beyond the normal maintaining and watering.
House cleaning, which goes beyond the normal capacity of cleaning (usually at most of the homes there was a cleaning lady)

What is the basic support and overnight stay?

Depending on the home and pets, house sitting duties can vary widely:

Watering plants and flowers.
Taking out trash and recycling.
Bringing in mail and packages.
Inspecting the home for safety, including gas and water leaks.
Maintaining order and security of property.
House cleaning.
Feeding and caring for pets.
Inspecting utilities, such as plumbing and air-conditioning.
Inspecting swimming pool or grounds.

What information do you need for a sit?

I typically like to arrive a day or at least a couple of hours before you leave. So I can see your routine with your pets and get an introduction to your home and all the to-Dos. But we will also talk about everything via call.

Is it safe to have a stranger at my home?

As you can see from all my references, I am a very reliable person. It’s important that we all feel safe, secure and supported. That’s why I operate the booking via the platform Trustedhousessitters. They require all sitters to complete an identity check before they can apply to sit, so that you can connect with confidence. You can see my checks on my profile.
Via the platform is also included:

Vet advice line
I have free unlimited advice from veterinary experts with the dedicated Vet Advice Line. Available 24/7.

Sit Cancellation Plan
Members who have purchased a Premium Membership have the added benefit of the Sit Cancellation Plan (which I never had to use!).
