Hello, we are Roland and Ines from Germany.

We have been a couple since 1996, are non-smokers, and are enjoying our early retirement.
We have traveled and continue to travel the world, but Australia is our favorite country.
Our home is a one-hectare waterfront property in Potsdam near Berlin.
This means we are familiar with work in and around the house, as well as on the property and in the garden.
We are long-time, highly experienced, respectful and empathetic house sitters.

We have been a couple since 1996, are non-smokers, and are enjoying our early retirement.
We have traveled and continue to travel the world, but Australia is our favorite country.
Our home is a one-hectare waterfront property in Potsdam near Berlin.
This means we are familiar with work in and around the house, as well as on the property and in the garden.
We are long-time, highly experienced, respectful and empathetic house sitters.
It makes us happy to send home/pet owners on a worry-free journey because we will care for your home and pets as if they were our own.
We know how important it is for you as homeowners to have trust in the people you entrust with the care of your pets and property.
Over time, we have found that we work best with determined and responsive homeowners. We are very tidy, organized, and conscientious and enjoy sitting for like-minded people.
For us, taking over a clean house is a matter of respect, as we always return the houses in a very clean condition.
We have cared for very young, very old, very sick, lively/reactive, and even shy animals, and have always been able to return them happily to their owners.
Your animals receive our undivided attention because we don't have to work. We enjoy spending time with the animals because we have had a variety of them ourselves and know that they are part of the family.
Upon request, we can also keep you updated with pictures during your absence. We will never share information or pictures of your property on social media.
We are proud that we have often been asked to return for another house sit, which we have been able to do on several occasions.
Since 2025, we have also been active as house sitters in Europe.
Reviews are available on Mindmyhouse (link available upon request).
We look forward to hearing from you.

Roland and Ines were fantastic dog/house sitters! Right from the go-get their communication was terrific. They cared for our beagle harrier, Cody, really well and sent frequest updates via WhatsApp of him being very happy! We loaned them our car and it was also well looked after. The house was spotless when we returned and the bedding already washed! Importantly, they are lovely people with a genuine care for pets and looking after someone's else's property. Can't recommend Roland and Ines ... MoreRoland and Ines were fantastic dog/house sitters! Right from the go-get their communication was terrific.

Roland and Ines were superb housesitters. Their communication and flexibility were very helpful. They left the house in amazing condition. Cleaner and tidier than I left it. Highly recommend them.
What can I say! The dogs ignored me when I came home favouring Roland and Ines which speaks volumes. The dogs and livestock were looked after beautifully. During their sit we had a livestock health issue which I got someone in to deal with but he needed assistance. These legends stepped up. Can absolutely recommend these two people and hope they come here again.
Roland and Ines were terrific! Excellent communication and our house was left tidy and clean. They were a really lovely couple and our active kelpie was a very happy pooch with them! Thanks so much Roland and Ines! We would love a another house sit if you are in the Illawarra on your return in November! Safe travels :) Cheers, Wendy , John and Banjo the Rescue Kelpie
Roland & Ines looked after our home and cat for 12 days while we were on holiday. We came back to a very clean home and a happy cat. They took great care of our house and communicated well with us when our cat became unwell. We found them to be kind, friendly and respectful and would be more than happy to have them house sit again. We would highly recommend them to anyone else who is looking for reliable and trustworthy house sitters.
Roland & Ines were a delight to have sitting our house and Charlie & Arlo. When we arrived home the boys were very happy and obviously didn’t miss us too much! The house was left spotless, it was as if we hadn’t even left. They walked the dogs daily and sometimes twice a day. Our dog walking friends remarked on how settled the boys were and it was a delight to have a chat with Roland & Ines. Ines left a gift of crochet table mats that she had made herself, such a lovely touch. I can highly ... MoreRoland & Ines were a delight to have sitting our house and Charlie & Arlo.

Great sitters, no issues with any aspect of their stay. They took great care of our dogs and communicated well prior to and during the stay. They respected our house and left it exceptionally clean and tidy. Thanks for a positive experience!
Ines and Roland were excellent house sitters. I came home to a beautifully clean and tidy house, well cared for plants and two very happy and loved dogs. Ines and Roland were very thorough and professional in every way. It was so lovely to meet them prior to our departure.

Roland & Ines were fantastic from the first moment we locked in the Housesit! Their communication was fantastic leading up to the stay, during the stay and after!! The dogs were so happy and bonded with them both immediately 🥹 I felt so relaxed knowing that my home and fur babies were in their hands! I’d have them back any day!!! Thank you!!!
Roland and Ines are wonderful people and it was a pleasure to meet them and have them in our home. Garden was well maintained, and house was spotless when we returned. If ever had the opportunity again, we would certainly use their services.

Roland & Ines just finished a house sit for us for the second time this month. Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived home. The dogs appeared to be very comfortable with them so I'm sure they were well cared for. I have no hesitation in recommending them for any housesits. Thanks to you both.
We can’t recommend Roland & Ines enough,they are a fantastic ,trustworthy caring couple who looked after our home & dog Abbey .Abbey has anxiety and they dealt with it by giving her loads of attention and love,she got very spoilt by them, with plenty of walks & drives in their car. It was a real delight to come home to a clean & tidy home and a very happy dog. We would thoroughly recommend them to anyone who needs an awesome couple to look after your pets/home,hopefully we can have them ...

I believe that Roland and Ines took great care of our dogs, showering them with lots of love. The house was in great shape upon our arrival home. They'll be back with us in a couple of weeks for a longer sit this time. I have no hesitation in recommending them for any house sit that they apply for.
Roland and Ines are lovely people! They took such good care of our dog Clementine - taking her with them on walks and she clearly had so much fun. They also looked after our rat, whose cage mates recently died. They made sure she got pats and she was a happy girl when we got home. The house was spotless, cleaner than when we left even though we told them not to worry about the cleaning! Highly recommended.
We were very lucky to find Roland and Ines. They were very respectful of our property. It’s was a pleasure to come home to a tidy and clean house even though this was not a requirement of ours. The dogs had the best time and are missing them. We were sent photos regularly of the dogs out and about, Ines was very sad to leave Bentley and Ruby and we could tell there was genuine love for them. Ruby still goes to their room every morning to see if they are there. We would love Roland and Ines ... MoreWe were very lucky to find Roland and Ines. They were very respectful of our property.

Roland and Ines stayed in our home to care for our 3 dogs and 2 cats as well as the garden and house. From the start communication was so easy. They even travelled to meet us beforehand and we knew instantly our animals would be in the best hands. Roland and Ines are responsible and so professional with their house sitting.

They were both amazing with all the animals who were so content and happy. We were also kept updated with photos etc, As the dogs are rescues walking them at off lead parks and beaches is a bit of organisation to drive them and organise the walking. They enjoyed & managed it all with ease. Our house and garden was so well cared for. Roland and Ines are so friendly, and we thoroughly enjoyed their company. 🙏🏻🐕💕from Shiloh, Sheen, Stripey, Tabby & Marshall 💕😻

Roland and Ines took exceptional care of our cats. They were a pleasure to have in our home and we would be more than happy for them to housesit again. We highly recommend them to look after your fur babies and home any time.
We had Roland and Ines look after our house and dog for 3 weeks and are very happy with the way both were looked after. We came home to a happy dog and a very clean house and grounds. They communicated with us regularly with updates and pics and we could see our dog Coopz was very happy. I have no hesitation in recommending them for your house and pet sit.

This is the second time Ines and Roland have undertaken a house sit for me and was next level. As well as looking after Gracie and Oscar like they were there own, we managed to spend a little time with each other. When you have people looking after your house and pets, that you know and like it brings a special addition to the experience. Thankyou lovely people for the experience, I look forward to having you house sit and adventures again 🙏🏿
Ines and Roland were absolutely fabulous when it came to caring for our pets. Jessie misses them already. The cats and Jess were so excited to have us home, Jess was all over us. However, when we walk she almost drags me in certain directions, I have to wonder if she is looking for them 💖. In fact I know she misses them both and is wondering where they are 😊 Thanks so much for taking such good care of our animals and our home. Everything was great when we returned home. I would ...

I would recommend Ines and Roland to anyone, if you want someone who truly cares for animals, they go so far to ensure your pets are happy and well. And they take great care of your Home too. Thanks so much Ines and Roland. All the best for the rest of your travels and many returns to Australia 🇦🇺 I do hope.

Wow! The most amazing dogsitters. Roland and Ines are such lovely people and you can tell they really love dogs. Our dog got so many walks and looked like she was having a great time. Communication was excellent and we received lots of great photos which made all of us happy knowing she was in good care. The house was immaculate when we came home. Would definitely recommend them and ask them back again.

Roland & Ines looked after my house, like it was there’s and most importantly looked after Gracie & Oscar, to the next level. In fact Gracie got quite attached to them, to the point she was waiting outside of their room in the morning. I couldn’t be more happy with them. Thankyou 🙏🏿
Roland and Ines were fantastic, so easy to deal with and they knew exactly what they were doing. Communication was excellent, we were frequently updated on our boys adventures. The house was left in great condition and everything we asked of them was done plus more. Our boy got an outing to the beach which was above what we had asked. Our boy loves the beach and we really appreciated the effort they put in with him by taking him on an adventure. We highly recommend both Roland ...

Roland & Ines are wonderful sitters. Proactive and attentive; lots of communication throughout the sit and we can home to an immaculate house and 2 very happy frenchies. We’d welcome them back without hesitation!
Roland and Ines have been the perfect house sitters! If we could give them more stars, we most certainly would. Communication was exceptional from the day we first spoke, right through their stay and beyond. Our house was very well kept, and perfectly clean and tidy when we came home.

Where Roland and Ines excelled in particular was the impeccable care they took for our Labrador over the Christmas and NY break. Our girl sustained an injury just a few weeks prior to Christmas, and required medication and care for the next 8 weeks. We nearly were forced to cancel our holiday, except our lovely house sitters absolutely insisted that they would take good care of our girl. We arrived home to a very happy girl, who is well underway to a full recovery! Thank you again Roland & Ines. :)

Roland and Innes were everything we hoped for and more. We returned to a clean, tidy home and garden. They even stocked the fridge with milk etc which we were so appreciative of. Prior to the housesit and during our time away they kept in touch. Communication was excellent, they were very easy to plan and work with. Cannot recommend them more highly.
Roland AND iNEZ are a lovely couple. They were very affectionate to our dogs. The house was left perfect. Highly recommend. Thanks to both of you.
Wow what a great experience for our very first housesitters. Roland and Ines were just amazing. They were easy going, loved our dogs Boof and Scruffy like they were their own. Sent us photos of them being relaxed in our yard and home. Our home was left in an immaculate condition including all linen washed and returned to the original room. We would highly recommend them for any future housesits and would welcome them back into our home as a housesitter and friend in the future. Thank you ...
