About this sitter

Austin and I are two animal loving travelers who found our dream lifestyle when we discovered house sitting exchanges. Both animal lovers from a young age, we actually began house sitting together shortly after we met for clients in Bend, Oregon. When we discovered TrustedHouseSitters in 2021, we decided we wanted to utilize our pet care skills to travel the world! Within the last 12 months we have completed 9 pet sits within the USA, and 9 internationally. We fell in love with the lifestyle and have now made this our full time gig.

We search for house sits that align with our experience, qualifications, and travel desires. You can feel rest assured that if we apply to your sit we are doing so because we feel genuinely well suited for the job. Not just because we want to visit a desirable destination. We appreciate a clean home, and will leave it in stellar condition upon our departure. We are the type of people who are open to new experiences. Whether that’s city life, life on a farm, or in a remote village in the jungle, we want to experience what it’s like to care for pets in all parts of the world!

Why they want to house sit

We began house sitting as a way to make extra side income while doing something we enjoy- caring for pets and properties. We never could've guessed that it would become our new way of life and something we wouldn't trade for the world! We continue house sitting because we value the genuine relationships we form with people and pets. As house sitters, we are granted the ability to experience life from the perspective of a local, rather than a tourist. Another reason why this form of travel appeals to us. Finally, we appreciate that this community has been built on mutual trust, respect, and appreciation for all parties involved. It can be difficult in today's world to find a community built on these values, and we are grateful to have found ours!

Their experience

We have been providing in-home pet care services abroad and locally for over two years now. We have cared for pets of all ages, breeds, and personality types throughout our years. We are especially knowledgeable with dogs, cats, and plant and yard care (Austin used to be a professional landscaper). We are also knowledgeable with farm animals, more specifically birds and horses, gathered from our experiences working and growing up on farms. We will clean pens, groom, wash, feed, walk, and as instructed.

Over the last two years we've taken on numerous house sits with senior pets. As a result we have become very comfortable caring for senior pets and also administering medications. That said we always prefer to discuss medication needs in depth before agreeing to a sit.

Austin and I are also a young and active couple. We are capable of meeting nearly any physical requirements asked of us. Whether that is mucking stalls, clearing leaves, cleaning pools, or taking your high-energy breed out to explore their favorite local trails, we are the ones for the job!

Lastly, if we don’t know enough about it, we are more than willing to spend time researching and learning. Please feel free to ask more specifics about our experience. Communication is a priority to us and we are an open book.

What can they bring to the assignment

We are transparent, respectful, and honest house sitters who always strive to exceed expectations. We will communicate with you regularly and thoroughly leading up to the house sit, and throughout our stay with daily photo updates. It should be known that your animals are our number one priority - always. As much as we love traveling, we never place the desire to visit a destination above the pet’s well-being. Your pet's needs will be met first, and our's second. Our goal is for you to vacation worry free knowing your home and pets are in the best hands, and for pets to feel safe and comfortable in our care!
