Full-time International Pet and House Sitters. Pets aren’t our whole life, but they make our lives whole

About this sitter

My husband Tony and I retired early. Me from a career in Communications and Event Management. Tony from a career in Hospitality Management. He was born in SE London, and still has his EU passport. I'm originally from South Florida. We have two grown sons, who have not, as yet, provided us with grandchildren, so we have time to get our travel on and plenty of love to share! Our other hobbies include long walks, bicycling, swimming, gardening, reading, food & cooking, and music. We are non-smokers, have clean driving records and TSA Global Entry status. Tony has valid licenses in both the US and the UK. To learn more about us, please visit https://happyhousesittersinternational.com/. There you can read the reviews from more than 100 sits we’ve been privileged to complete.

Why they want to house sit

Traveling is one of our greatest shared pleasures and now that we're retiring we are looking forward to much more! So far, we've been to Italy, France, England, Ireland, Scotland, Tahiti, Hawaii, Greece, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Cyprus, Costa Rica, Barbados, the BVI's - all over the Caribbean. We've traveled a bit in the US too, though not nearly as much as we'd like. Full-time house/pet sitting enables us to see the world while sharing our love with your furbabies. Instead of leaving our pet behind when we travel, we'll be heading toward yours. We will make certain that they are kept healthy and safe, and feel well-loved until your return. We can hardly wait to meet them!

Their experience

We're experienced 5-star sitters who have completed sits with wonderful dogs of all sizes, cats, chickens and fish, in both urban and rural settings. We've cared for vegetable gardens, lawns, pools and wild bird feeders. We've enjoyed sits in the England, Scotland, Ireland, Spain, France, the US, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Portugal thus far. We've been blessed to share our lives with two of our own wonderful dogs during our 42 year marriage; Thor, a Malamute Shepherd mix, and Summer, a Springer Spaniel.

What can they bring to the assignment

We were homeowners ourselves for 30 years, so we're familiar with home maintenance and upkeep; including pool and lawn care, garden maintenance, and even hurricane preparations. We're very clean and tidy and firmly believe in leaving your home and car in better shape than we found it. We will live gently in your home and love your pets extravagantly.
