About this sitter
Hi! We are Alison and Darren. ?
We’re both retired and are now on the road. We’ve made it our mission to travel and enjoy a life of meeting people and their pets.
When house sitting, we’re looking for a clean and safe home. We need to be able to park our suv somewhere.
We’ve owned cats for decades and have lots of experience with dogs too.
Why they want to house sit
We love to explore different places and get to know other people’s pets.
Housesitting gives us the opportunity to experience places in a more realistic way as well as stay connected to the animals we love.
Their experience
We both have tons of experience with cats and have been cat owners for decades.
Although we haven’t owned a dog in a long time, we’ve had many opportunities to care for dogs.
What can they bring to the assignment
Our high level of experience, maturity, responsibility and genuine love for animals provide peace of mind while you are away.
You can rely on us to care for your fur babies and your home in the way you do.
We work on side hustles from our computers, so although we enjoy exploring, we spend a good chunk of time at home, giving plenty of attention to your pets.
We are highly respectful of the fact that we are guests in your home.

Testimonials
Allison and Darren were amazing
Allison and Darren were amazing! Among the very best sitters we’ve had. Communication pre sit and during sit was excellent. The fur kids warmed up to them immediately and they provided excellent care to our fur babies and our property. Their departure and our arrival were communicated, coordinate well in advance and it was seamless. The house was well cared for and very clean when we arrived home. We would love to have them sit for our kids again!

Alison was a Godsend for us
Alison was a Godsend for us! One of our cats was injured two days before we were about to leave, and he ended up requiring extra care and medication. And while I had made arrangements with someone else to stay at our place for the first few days of our trip, she was not entirely comfortable with the extra care required. Thankfully, Alison was willing to step in and able to come early (so her sit was actually March9-25). And because she has four cats of her own, we felt completely comfortable leaving our hurt guy in her care. She took great care of both cats and our home and sent regular updates on how things were going. We came home to happy, healthy cats, a clean home, and even some beautiful tulips. I would highly recommend Alison and hope she'll come to North Van to sit for us again. :)

Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter
Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Alison was punctual with responses, attentive to our cats and respectful of our home. She went above and beyond, washing the sheets which was a glorious surprise when we arrived home very late. She sent photo updates and voice notes and we felt at ease from start to finish. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her back!

We would not hesitate to have Allison back
My husband and I got a really good feeling from Allison right from the beginning! She was the first person we interviewed and we booked her immediately after. Allison was very communicative, reliable, and very easy to get along with! We have 3 bengal cats, who can be a handful, and we felt secure leaving them in Allison’s care because of all her experience with pet sitting and her love for cats! We would not hesitate to have Allison back!

I would easily recommend them to anyone
Alison and Darren did a wonderful job of taking care of our cat and the house. Our cat was perfectly content when we came back home, and the house was in great shape. I would easily recommend them to anyone.
