Owned several businesses and properties in California over the past 35 years and recently sold it ALL and retired at least for now!

Testimonials
Seamless and fabulous!
I cannot say enough about what a positive experience it was to have the Buxtons in our home while we were in Portugal for 3 months. Being our first time to try house sitters, you can imagine our anxiety about inviting complete strangers to live in our home for three months while we were a half a world away! But we lucked out big time. During our absence a few problems arose as you would expect--a couple of water leaks, one minor, one major, and our beverage cooler quit. Bill took care of it all without having to call in repairmen, thus saving us hundreds of dollars. He helped our gardener rake bags full of leaves and cleaned out our gutters. Tammi put up seasonal decorations, did some much needed organizing in my cabinets and kept the house squeaky clean. They were always available to us and checked in with us regularly but not too much. Since we've been back home, I continue to notice little things; for example, I can't seem to find the nicks in the cabinets that I know were there, so I think one of them (my guess is Bill) filled them in. We came home utterly exhausted to a home so clean and welcoming--there was even a bottle of wine waiting for us! There is not one negative comment from our side of the experience. I sincerely hope Bill and Tammi are available when we travel in the future as we will always check with them, but I'm sure they are going to be in high demand. (Just a note: pet sitting was not required.)
