We are a non-smoking, clean, and highly dependable couple living nomadically now that we are retired. We have been travelling and house sitting all over the world since September 2016.
House sitting gives us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in new communities as we travel around the world. Our home-swapping experiences in Australia and France and our current worldwide house sitting travels have convinced us that this is the kind of lifestyle we will continue to pursue. On longer stays, we will also look for volunteer opportunities—at home, we were proud Red Cross disaster management team members and advisors.
We bring conscientious and attentive care to your home, garden, and pets.
Over the years we have loved many dogs and cats. Our lifestyle more recently has not been conducive to the many-year commitment that pets require, but when we're home we miss having pets around. We love to walk and play with our "foster" dog(s) as we explore new neighbourhoods and cuddle and entertain feline furries in their homes.
We are very tidy, handy (Ken is very skilled at evaluating and resolving home maintenance challenges), we love to putter in gardens and get outside. As former landlords, renters, and home swappers, we understand the value of a well-cared-for home.
For more about us and what we are up to, please see our blog at Our housesitting page (lifephasenext /house-and-pet-sitting/) provides a full picture of our past house sits and references.
We both have police check documents from Canada and will happily provide copies on request.
