Eldon grew up on a dairy farm which had a plethora of domesticated critters. He has had careers in the energy industry and government and is retired from his business. He adores cats and is something of a cat magnet. His interests include reading, travel, golf and volunteering in community organizations. He enjoys many genres of music and collects anything by Bob Dylan, but please don't hold that against him:)
We are non-smokers, calm, neat and tidy folks who appreciate a clean and organized home.
We are vaxxed and boosted and hope that you are being safe too.
Cats rule! We are ridiculous pet parents. Our much-loved ginger tabby is in kitty heaven, but a rescued long-haired, green-eyed beauty has taken over and currently runs the estate.
So far in our 20 house sitting adventures, we have had the pleasure of caring for 13 dogs and 31 cats, an African Grey Parrot and a few fishies. Getting to know your pets is the fun part of our vacations.
Here is more about how we approach house and pet care:
We are homeowners with a lifetime of experience caring for homes and pets. We also engage house sitters to look after our beloved cat when we travel, so we understand your concerns about having capable, loving and trustworthy people in your home.
We are reliable. When we accept your offer to housesit, we have made a firm commitment to your dates. You can depend on us to show up!
We provide companionship for your pets. Although we enjoy exploring whatever the area has to offer, we are homebodies at heart. We are just as happy to curl up with a good book, a big cup of tea and a furry critter or two to cuddle.
We want your pets to feel loved and secure. We will provide all the attention, playtime, walkies, love and snuggles they can stand! If they usually sleep with you, we expect to have a foot warmer at bedtime.
We believe that good communications are essential for a successful housesit. We will send you daily updates and photos of your pets so you can see how they are adjusting to their new friends.
We are committed to your travels being worry-free. As homeowners, we are used to fixing things if they go wonky or know when to call in reinforcements. When you do arrive home, you can expect to find your home as you left it.
We consider it a privilege to be entrusted to care for your home and pets. You can be assured that your property and privacy will be respected and that your pets are safe and happy during your time away.
If we look like a good fit for your furry family, let's have a chat and answer any questions you may have.
