Retired Canadian Couple

About this sitter

We are Jim and Carolyn, a retired couple from Canada who do contract work on-line. When we are not with our family in Germany and Canada, we are living at our home in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We love to travel and we love animals. Jim was an instructor at a polytechnic institute, Carolyn was a school principal and is currently an educational consultant. We are looking for an opportunity to see different parts of the world, enjoy different cultures, and be active in the outdoors.

Why they want to house sit

We have enjoyed all the benefits having a pet provides. We have always had dogs as part of our family and value the unique relationship that is possible with animals. We no longer have our dogs and now have the opportunity to travel, but miss the companionship of our pets. House sitting provides the opportunity to travel and connect with animals.

Their experience

For years we were involved in home exchanges and our experiences with this were always extremely positive. Recently, we had the opportunity to look after pets belonging to our friends and family members. We were pet owners for over thirty years. We have completed 4 very successful pet sits in the UK July/August 2023, and 2 in Canada August/September 2024.

What can they bring to the assignment

We can bring love and great care to pets! We have been home owners for 40 years and understand how important it is to ensure your home is well taken care of by trusted individuals who have great respect for the property of others. Jim is a multi-disciplined tradesperson and is very handy with household maintenance.
