Melissa and Chris are a pair of freelance editors and world travelers who enjoy experiencing new places and new cultures.

We are experienced house sitters who will care lovingly for your home, possessions, animals, and garden while you are away. We have been homeowners ourselves, so we know how to keep a house clean and well maintained. We are also both animal lovers: We have served as a trusted foster home for cats and kittens from local rescue organizations, and Melissa has worked as a veterinary technician, with experience monitoring the health of pets and giving medications. Chris is an enthusiastic gardener.

We are dependable, honest, quiet, respectful of your property, nonsmokers, non-drug-takers, and environmentally aware. We are also smart, friendly, and adaptable. We have international drivers’ licenses and clean driving records and have never been in trouble with the law. (Chris is a retired employee of the U.S. government and passed an FBI background check when she was rehired in .) We are experienced international travelers comfortable living in unfamiliar places and foreign cultures.

“ We couldn't have asked for more caring petsitters! ”

Location Pontevedra Galicia Spain

Melissa and Chris agreed to take care of our two cats Leo and Lola for 20 days.  Before they arrived we were asked by our local rescue to take two extra kittens into foster care who had survived Parvo Virus and had to be kept in a separate room.  Melissa and Chris were so generous that they did not hesitate to agree to care for the extra babies.  We knew we had chosen the right people to care for our home and our fur babies.  Due to scheduling issues Melissa arrived before Chris.  Melissa kept us informed of how everyone was doing sending messages and photos regularly.  They administered the medications that the kittens needed and even took one of them to the veterinarian when it was required.  They were easy to communicate with and it was obvious that all the kitties loved spending time with them.  We didn't get to meet Chris but we know that both she and Melissa took excellent care of all the cats and when we returned our home was exactly as we left it.  We would recommend them 100% to care for your home and animals. Thank you so much Chris and Melissa for your care and compassion towards animals.  Safe travels!
