Hi! We are Mat and Danielle, a reliable, trustworthy and experienced house sitting couple with excellent references.
As former homeowners, we understand the need to hire great house sitters who can be trusted with the daily maintenance and care of your home, pets and property while you are away.
For over 6 years we have provided quality house and pet sitting services to our family, friends, colleagues and neighbours in Ontario and in Quebec. We completed 9 house sitting assignments in 2012, during which time we cared for a total of 6 homes, 3 dogs and 3 cats (in addition to our own home, 3 chickens and 1 rabbit!).
We've also completed a few house sitting jobs from the HouseCarers and s, including:
- 2013: 3 months house sitting in Australia caring for 2 elderly maltese dogs and 1 cat.
- 2014: 5 months house sitting in Olympia, WA caring for 2 cats.
- 2015: 1 month house sitting in Montreal caring for 3 cats.
- 2016: 3 weeks house sitting in Ottawa caring for 1 cat (this job was not obtained through the s mentioned above).
Mat, 39, is a gifted visual artist who worked as the administrator for the City of Ottawa Arts Court for 10 years. Danielle, 32, is an avid gardener and animal lover who worked as a project manager and event coordinator for the Canadian Organic Growers and the Canada Green Building Council for 4 years.
We live a nomadic lifestyle and travel around Canada in our campervan during the summer to film short documentary videos for our channel: Exploring Alternatives.
Please feel free to contact us to discuss your house sitting needs or to request our references.
