We are a retired, non smoking couple, who sold their home six years ago, and have been traveling ever since. Our current lifestyle has made it possible to meet wonderful people, great pets, and travel to places, we never dreamed of going.
Previously, we ran our own business, manufacturing and wholesaling in the home decor field. Before that, I was a teacher for many years. We owned our own homes for decades, and know the pride homeowners have in their property. We enjoyed gardening especially, and left a lovely flower garden, that we spent years cultivating.
We also enjoyed having dogs since we were children, and especially our little Yorkie, that our whole family adored. Since our house sitting began, we have had the fun and experience of taking care of numerous pets, wonderful dogs, and sweet cats, all of them affectionate and funny. Not having pets right now, we look forward to spending time with them, at our house sits.
We realize the trust the homeowner must have in the sitter, taking care of their home, and more importantly, their pets. We are both animal lovers and enjoy our time with them. We have become quite attached to many of our pets, and have found it difficult to leave them. We have done six long term sits in France, one of which was a repeat sit, England, the U.S. Canada, and Vieques.
Our sits have involved, many types of animals, vacation rentals, gardening, etc.
We have taken care of sheep, ducks, pigs (yes, pigs!), hens, and of course, cats and dogs. We finished a great repeat three month sit in Tennessee, with two sweet kitties, the beginning of April, did a one month repeat sit in St. Catharines, with two black cats, elderly, but fun, brothers. We leave for Los Angeles in June until late July, with two lovely white kitties, and are then booked on Salt Spring Island for the months of September and October.
2018 has been another wonderful year, and we are now sitting a Westie, and two cats near Cognac, France.
We are now booked until April, 2019. Looking forward to another year of adventure!
We are responsible, resourceful, honest, and hard working, and can promise you won't be disappointed. You will come back to happy pets, that we will be sad to leave behind.
