Note:
We are a retired couple travelling from Norway with a long-standing interest in European history. Over the years, we have completed several shorter car journeys across Europe, focusing on historic towns, monuments, and culturally significant regions.
Now retired, we have the time to travel more slowly and deliberately by car. Offering reliable, planned house sitting along our route is a natural fit for how we travel: structured, calm, and respectful of the homes we stay in.
Note:
Our timing remains flexible and adjusts naturally based on confirmed stays.
As a general reference, we expect to reach southern Italy (Bari area) approximately 3–5 months after departure, but this may change depending on longer or better-aligned house-sitting opportunities accepted along the way.
Owners who have arranged a house sit with us may share brief feedback below.
Feedback may be published as text in this section or, if preferred, submitted as a comment. All feedback is reviewed before being made public.
Quick note:
This questionnaire is not for owners offering casual pet sitting or short stays.
It is intended for property owners offering longer or higher-responsibility house-sitting stays, such as larger properties, seasonal homes, or residences requiring independent judgment and written clarity.
It is designed for situations where structure, responsibility, and documented expectations matter.
It is designed to be copied and completed in the owner’s own document or online.
This questionnaire is intended for property owners to prepare and document a house-sitting offer once, then reuse it without having to answer the same questions repeatedly.
Quick note:
This questionnaire is intended for flats, apartments, and standard homes with low to moderate responsibility requirements.
It applies to house-sitting arrangements with or without pets, where no special risks, land management, equipment, or independent judgment beyond normal daily living is required.
For larger properties, rural locations, long stays, or higher-responsibility situations, the Full House-Sitting Details Questionnaire must be used instead.

Completion of the Nordic House Sitters sitter confirmation questionnaire is required.
Visit Nordic House Sitters or search for “The Nordic House Sitters sitter confirmation questionnaire” to access the format and instructions.
Sitters should publish the completed questionnaire on their own blog (with the Disclaimer intact) and share that link with us for review.
