Hardworking, quiet couple with extensive pet experience

About this sitter

We’re Emily and Sarah—a responsible, animal-loving couple currently living in Seattle USA with our beloved and very spoiled (but well-behaved) cat, Luna. We’re both experienced with horses, dogs, and cats, and are excited about the opportunity to care for animals in a peaceful countryside setting like yours.

Emily has over a decade of experience caring for cats and rode horses competitively in college for over five years. Sarah grew up surrounded by animals, caring for multiple cats and dogs, and spent years riding and working around horses. We both feel deeply connected to animals and love spending time outdoors, especially with horses and dogs.

We’re drawn to house sits that allow us to experience local culture at a slower pace, contribute to the care of beloved animals, and help out with day-to-day tasks like driving, pet care, or lifting and carrying when needed. For us, house sitting is a meaningful way to travel with purpose—and to support others by caring for their homes and animals with the same love and attention we give our own.

Why they want to house sit

We love house sitting because it’s a way to experience new places more deeply and meaningfully—while also giving back. For us, it’s not just about travel; it’s about connection. We genuinely enjoy caring for animals and creating a sense of continuity and peace for them while their people are away.

We both grew up with animals and feel most at home when we’re around them. House sitting gives us the opportunity to live more intentionally, stay grounded in nature, and support others by tending to what matters most to them—their pets, their home, and their routines. It’s incredibly rewarding to be trusted with that responsibility, and we approach every sit with care, attentiveness, and warmth.

Their experience

Yes—we bring a strong mix of animal care, equestrian handling, and home responsibility experience.
- Animal Care: Sarah grew up with dogs and cats and cared for them independently from a young age. Emily has lived with and cared for cats for over a decade and has a calm, intuitive approach with animals of all kinds.
- Horse Experience: Both of us are confident, capable riders and have hands-on experience with daily horse care. Emily rode and competed in college for over five years, and Sarah spent years around horses through riding, volunteering, and assisting with care.
- House Sitting & Support: We’ve informally house- and pet-sat for friends and family, and we’re both attentive, respectful, and proactive. We’re comfortable with tasks like lifting, running errands, keeping things clean, and driving—especially in rural areas.

We see house sitting as a meaningful responsibility and bring a steady, trustworthy presence to every sit.

What can they bring to the assignment

We bring a unique combination of reliability, animal intuition, physical capability, and genuine care—all grounded in a deep respect for your home and way of life.
- Experienced Animal Companionship: Your animals will be in kind, capable hands. We both have extensive experience with horses, dogs, and cats—and we truly enjoy bonding with animals and tuning into their needs. We’ll ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
- Hands-On Support: We’re comfortable with the kind of everyday help you’ve described—whether it’s feeding, grooming, riding, lifting heavy items, or driving you to the train. We approach it all with a positive attitude and a willingness to help.
- Respectful House Stewardship: We’re quiet, clean, and conscientious. We take great pride in caring for spaces as if they were our own—keeping everything in good order so you can return home with peace of mind.

Most of all, we bring warmth, responsibility, and a calm, trustworthy presence that we hope makes this a comfortable and enjoyable experience for you—and for your animals.
