About this sitter

Rick and Donna (both 64) are a husband and wife team who would like to see the world and maybe warmer winters! We would consider a house sit anywhere in the world. Our preference would be no longer than 2 months. We are open to shorter durations. Email us and if all goes well we can be on our way to your place

Why they want to house sit

After years of working, raising children and running our ranch in northern Alberta we would like to do more travelling. Our youngest daughter owns a farm adjacent to ours and is able to oversee our operations while we are away.

Their experience

We love animals! Over the years we have owned dogs of various breeds from Pyrenees to collies, indoor and outdoor cats, top rodeo horses, grandchildren’s ponies and even chickens. We have 40+ years of farming experience. We are fussy home owners and will maintain your place to a high standard.

What can they bring to the assignment

We have a lifetime of experience of tending to our own home , outbuildings, ground maintenance , and gardens. Non smokers. We’ve house sat for friends and family. Reference’s and police check available on request.
Please email Rick or Donna with any possibilities.
Thanks for considering us!

Testimonials

Testimonial for Rick and Donna

I would thoroughly recomend Rick and Donna to anyone needing a house sit to look after their pet and or home. Rick and Donna house sat from 23rd December 2024 to 20th January 2025.They are very friendly and capable people who took such great care of my whippet Lexi and home. I arrived home to the house looking better than I left it, and a very happy dog who was obviosly spoiled rotten. They were very good at comunication before they arrived and sent messages and updates while I was away. I very much enjoyed their company and would definatley recommed them.
