We are the Hartong family — and we are about to change everything.
From our home in Maastricht, the Netherlands, we have been dreaming of something bigger. More freedom. More adventure. More connection with the world around us.
That dream has a name: house sitting in Asia.
What does that mean exactly?
We travel to amazing destinations across Asia — Thailand, Bali, Vietnam, Malaysia — and take care of people’s homes and pets while they travel. No hotel bills. No tourist traps. Just real life in real homes, in places most people only see on Instagram.
Why Asia?
The culture, the warmth of the people, the food, the landscapes. Asia has called to us for years. Now we are finally answering.
Why house sitting?
Because we believe travel should be slow, meaningful and affordable. House sitting gives us that — and so much more.
This is just the beginning.
We are building Horizon by Hartong as a community for house sitters, home owners, expats and digital nomads across Asia. A place to connect, share stories and find trusted people.
