Highlights
Pet care experience
Marine Scientists with ❤️ for Pets
We’re Mike and Verena, experienced pet and house sitters with over three years of 5-star reviews on TrustedHousesitters. Our experience spans a wide variety of pets—from playful puppies and frisky felines, to senior pets requiring a patient, slower pace, and even some farm animals. We provide attentive, reliable care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. We work seasonally as hydrographers, mapping the seafloor. Since our jobs don’t allow us to have pets of our own, we love caring for other people’s pets and keeping them company while their owners are away. Our goal is to make every pet feel loved, safe, and happy. You can expect meticulous attention to cleanliness, safety, and maintenance. We happily handle routine tasks, ensuring your property remains secure and ship-shape for your return. We come as a team and prefer long house sits.

Ratings and reviews
Verena and Mike have done several house/dog sits for us over the past couple of years. They have practically raised our dog, Baker, who is always delighted to see them. They take him for long walks and/or swims daily and always have time to snuggle with him. We also feel extremely confident leaving our home in their hands. They understand home systems, and the house is always cleaner when we return than when we departed! They are kind, honest and communicative. These are good people!
Verena and Mike were fabulous dog-sitters. They gave our dog Stella lots of love and attention and they kept us up to date on how things were going. They left the house cleaner than it was when they arrived. I would definitely recommend them.
Verena and Mike are some of the best pet sitters I’ve had the pleasure of meeting! Their communication before and during the sit was excellent, they were organized and reliable and followed my dog care instructions diligently. They looked after my two dogs (medium and large, high energy boys) for a week and took them on good long walks and spent lots of time hanging out with them. I got plenty of photo updates, and my house was so very clean when I returned home. The dogs and I were lucky to have had Mike and Verena sit for us! Highly recommend them!!
"Verena and Mike are outstanding house sitters who have provided safe and loving care for my two dogs. I have relied upon them on multiple occasions and have always returned to a home that is in better shape than when I left. They always keep professional communication and treat my dogs and home with close attention to detail. The updates and photos I receive during each visit offer immense peace of mind and speak volumes about their dedication and the genuine love they have for animals. For anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate house/pet sitter, I highly recommend Verena and Mike".
