My daughter and I will be gone this weekend, but the rest of the family stays behind, so there is no need for a house sitter. But when we all leave for a holiday, we generally can ask some friendly neighbors to take care of our apartment by feeding the fish, getting the mail, watering the plants, etc.
We are apartment dwellers and long-term expats, therefore have established many good relationships over time. When we need a helping hand, we will find one somewhere in our building.
But what about the new expat family, renting a house, and leaving for the summer holiday or on emergency leave? In such a case, I would recommend this homesitting service . Its charges are feasible with daily rates of €25 or weekly rates between € 80 and € 120.
The two ladies, who run this service, have 30 years of experience working in the tourism industry. Services are customized to your needs. Besides knowing your home is taken care off well, you will also feel better knowing their presence lessens the risk of a burglary. Additionally, it is nice not to have to bother the neighbors with extra chores. While you are gone, you can get updates on your home via e-mail, SMS, or fax.
If you are planning to take a trip in the near future, allow enough time for contact. They will take the time to get to know you and your needs.
