Compassionate Sitters Who Go Above and Beyond

About this sitter

About Us

We are Wendy and Alex, a recently retired couple from Vancouver who have discovered a true passion for house and pet sitting. Having both grown up surrounded by animals, we feel most at home when there are pets to care for and a home to keep warm and welcoming. Travel and new experiences are things we value, and house sitting allows us to combine both while giving homeowners the peace of mind they deserve.

We’re calm, dependable, and easygoing by nature. Alex is practical and handy with home tasks, while Wendy brings a nurturing touch and attention to detail. Together, we make a strong team—organized, respectful, and always focused on making sure pets are happy and homes are cared for.

What We’re Looking For

We’re drawn to sits that allow us to care for dogs, cats, or other pets who thrive with companionship. Quiet homes, whether in cities, small towns, or countryside settings, suit us perfectly. We love walking dogs, exploring local neighborhoods, and keeping pets engaged, while also enjoying cozy evenings in with them.

Our ideal house sit is one where we can build trust with homeowners, keep routines consistent for pets, and leave your home spotless and well looked after. Whether it’s a short weekend sit or an extended stay, we’re committed to bringing warmth, reliability, and respect into every sit we take on.

Why they want to house sit

House and pet sitting is the perfect fit for us because it combines two things we value most: caring for animals and experiencing life in different communities. We enjoy being able to give homeowners peace of mind while they’re away, knowing their pets are loved, and their home is secure.

For us, it isn’t just about travel — it’s about purposeful travel. We love building trust with homeowners, maintaining pets’ routines, and leaving each home in excellent condition. House sitting allows us to contribute meaningfully, while also enjoying the companionship of animals and the variety of living in new places.

Their experience

Our Experience

We bring many years of personal and practical experience in both pet care and home management. As lifelong animal lovers, we have cared for a wide range of pets — including dogs, cats, chickens, rats, birds, fish, and horses. From energetic puppies to senior companions, we understand the importance of keeping routines consistent, ensuring plenty of exercise, and providing both medical and emotional support where needed.

We are especially sensitive to the unique needs of rescued animals and the psychological sensitivities they may carry. Patience, calmness, and gentle reassurance are central to our approach, helping every animal feel safe, secure, and loved while their owners are away.

Alongside pet care, we bring extensive experience in property management and landscaping. We have maintained homes ranging from city apartments to larger rural properties, ensuring they remain secure, clean, and well cared for. Alex is practical and handy with general maintenance, while Wendy focuses on organization and presentation. Together, we can manage indoor and outdoor upkeep — from watering gardens and maintaining landscaping to ensuring everything inside the home runs smoothly.

We are non-smokers, responsible, and house-proud, with references that reflect our reliability, maturity, and the high standard of care we provide.
