About this sitter

Robert and I are born travelers who equally enjoy the hustle and bustle of urban locations along with the peace and quiet of rural escapes. Collectively we've been on 5 continents, traversed 40+ countries, and visited countless cities, villages, and towns. There's been zip lines, cruise lines, and conga lines. We're avid photographers and supply Google with endless photos of where we go and what we eat. Something we wouldn't necessarily share with our doctors. We relocated to Ireland in July 2024 now that Stephen has Irish citizenship.

Why they want to house sit

As part of our move to Ireland, we'd like to find opportunities that will provide us the chance to experience more in-depth stays in the Leinster and Munster regions while we look for a home. (Sorry, no offense Ulster.) Something a bit more than a brief stay like we've done for leisure travel. We are long time members of Trusted House Sitters and previously operated a highly regarded professional petcare business. In both venues, we have managed to achieve unanimous 5 star reviews. And like those pets yours will benefit from our thirty years of caring for our own 18 cats and dogs. .

Their experience

Pardon the immodesty but we are a dynamic duo when it comes to house-sitting with or without animals. Steve is a real estate broker with 23 years of experience. He knows houses and how they work. Robert managed our Airbnb property in Palm Springs CA during our three year stay there. In both situations we've earned 5 star reviews across the board. We also started a petcare business during the pandemic that has earned us rave reviews. We take what we do seriously. Especially when we are entrusted with your pets and homes. So we're prepared for whatever comes up.

What can they bring to the assignment

Clearly we are hard workers and men of our words. We use clear communications but are quite capable to act independently with good judgement. We appreciate the beauty of nature as much as a tall skyscraper. We know what it's like to be on the road and remain concerned about a home and pets. So we will do our best to make sure you can relax and feel confident that there's nothing to worry about back home. If you take a look at the assorted reviews available through our reference links, you'll see that we have what it takes.

Testimonials

Wonderful House sitters

From the moment we met Steve & Robert the evening before we departed on our month long holiday, we knew our house and pets were in good hands. Indeed our dog confirmed this when she snuck in to their bedroom to sleep the first night with them and we had no idea til the morning! Steve & Robert have a lovely warmth and friendliness to them, coupled with a great sense of humour between them. Through out their stay communicated effortlessly with us, in a timely manner and provided regular pet updates and photos which we really appreciated. Excellent trouble-shooters from the off, as we left them to sort a poorly timed washing machine malfunction, which they did with absolute ease. We were sorry to miss them in person on our return but so grateful for the wonderfully clean and tidy home and happy calm pets we returned to. Steve & Robert are excellent house sitters, animal lovers and should we be so lucky, we would welcome back to our home again in a heartbeat.
