About this sitter

House & Pet Sitting Profile
Semi-Retired Couple Exploring Asia, Summer in Europe, Christmas in Vancouver.

We are a semi-retired couple with a passion for travel, animals, and cultural immersion, after exploring Asia and Europe and spending the summer in the UK we are back in Vancouver before returning to Mexico in the New Year. With 24 years as a Vice President at a global real estate firm, I (the husband) bring extensive professional experience, adaptability, and problem-solving skills to house and pet sitting.

My wife shares my love for animals, nature, and travel, and together we offer a reliable, respectful, and caring presence for your home and pets. Having lived in diverse regions, including five years in Australia, and regularly visiting Central America and the Caribbean, we thrive on experiencing new cultures, cuisines, and communities at a relaxed pace.
