Mature, responsible retired couple

About this sitter

We would describe ourselves as easygoing, trustworthy, and genuinely caring people who take great pride in looking after both homes and pets. We enjoy quiet, well-kept environments and naturally fall into routines that keep everything running smoothly.

For us, house sitting is not just about staying somewhere—it’s about stepping in with care and respect so that everything continues seamlessly while you are away. We love building a connection with the pets and ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved.

What we are looking for are sits where trust, communication, and mutual respect are at the heart of the experience. We particularly enjoy longer stays, as they allow us to fully engage, settle in, and provide the highest level of care.

Why they want to house sit

We are passionate about house sitting because we fully appreciate the level of trust involved. Leaving one’s home and pets in the care of others can naturally bring a degree of anxiety, and we take that responsibility very seriously. Our objective is to provide reassurance through reliability, clear communication, and attentive care—turning that initial uncertainty into confidence.

As homeowners and pet owners ourselves, we regularly rely on house sitters when we travel. This dual perspective allows us to approach every assignment with empathy, professionalism, and a strong sense of accountability, ensuring each home and pet is cared for to the highest standard.

Their experience

We have been as a couple property managers for 20 years+, for exclusive properties across Canada and the U.S.A.

What can they bring to the assignment

What we bring to each assignment is peace of mind. As homeowners and pet owners ourselves, we understand the level of trust involved and treat every home and animal with the same care and respect we expect for our own.

We are reliable, attentive, and highly respectful of routines—whether that means maintaining a home to a high standard, caring for pets with patience and affection, or ensuring clear and consistent communication. We pride ourselves on being proactive, noticing small details, and addressing anything that may arise before it becomes a concern.

Above all, we bring a genuine sense of responsibility and pride in leaving every home exactly as we found it—or better—and ensuring owners can truly relax while they are away.
