Ingrid and I absolutely loved sitting for Anat, Zohar and all their gorgeous pets. They have a lovely home, and were very welcoming to us when we arrived. We got to experience their beautiful lifestyle and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Highly recommend applying for any future sits they have! We will miss Perla, Alf, Yoshi, Neo and all the hilarious alpacas very much!

We had a fantastic first experience with TrustedHousesitters, all thanks to Anat! Our getaway to her beautiful home in the quiet village was everything we hoped for. The alpacas, Perla, Neo, and Yoshi made our stay magical. Anat was always in touch, guiding us through pet care and house details. We're immensely grateful and hope to return soon! A pleasure from start to finish.

Anat was very welcoming & cooked a tasty meal for us when we arrived. She provided lots of information about the animals' routine & they were easy to look after. Perla is a lovely dog who enjoys her walks & there are some nice local woods to explore. The house is comfortable, the neighbours friendly (but only speak German) & there is a small town about 10 mins drive away where you can buy your groceries.

This has been our best house-sitting experience on the platform so far. Anat and Zohar are exceptional hosts, and their warm hospitality made us feel incredibly welcome throughout our stay. It was easy to arrive to their location, only one-hour train ride from Frankfurt. On our arrival, Anat kindly picked us up from the train station. They took the time to show us everything about their daily routine and after we had a very nice dinner together. They prepared everything for us in a way that made it very easy to take care of their pets. Perla the dog is beautiful, she is very calm and doesn't ask for a lot of attention. We really enjoyed taking her on walks around the farm and forest, the landscape around is very beautiful and peaceful. The cats, who live outdoors, are beautiful and lovely too. The alpacas are absolutely amazing! They are super cute, funny and very curious. It was a unique experience taking care of them, and thanks to Anat’s guidance it was very easy as well. Anat and Zohar went above and beyond to make us feel at home, allowing us to use their entire house, including their car and fitness zone equipped with a stationary bike and weights, and we felt very comfortable during our stay. They were very attentive and resolved our questions and any problem we had during the whole time. We absolutely loved this sit and would recommend it to everyone! It was very peaceful and different from what we’ve done before, we will be back for sure! Thank you, Anat and Zohar, for trusting us with this memorable and enriching experience!
