Retired couple, experienced sitters, world travelers

About this sitter

We are a retired couple in our early 50's. Eric is a decorated senior officer from the Royal Canadian Air Force who retired in 2024 and Marie-Chantal is a retired educational assistant who specialized in children with autism.

We will travel around the world for the right sit duration. We prefer longer sit where we can slowly explore and enjoy the area while also giving care and attention to your pet and/or property.

Why they want to house sit

We love to and have traveled extensively. We find that Home/pet sitting allows us an opportunity to discover a country/region beyond the typical tourist places and gives us an opportunity to immerse ourselves in the culture and community.

Their experience

We owned dogs while we were raising our children. The young adult to leave the house left with Philip our Coton of Tulear, Ever since, we have been petsitting first for friends, then through various sites. We aim to match our house/pet sit with our planned travel but will also seriously consider traveling to any location in the world for a pet sit that is 3 or more weeks long.

We can look after any large property, having owned several ones before settling for our dream home in Big White Ski resort, in British Columbia. We have had the opportunity to pet sit cats, dogs, donkeys, horses, chickens and even a house pig. We have the most experience with cats and dogs as they are the most common but we are ready to discuss other kinds of animals.

What can they bring to the assignment

We are financially secure and trustworthy individuals. We have a reputation for returning the property in an impeccable state and for taking great care of the owner's pets. We take long walks daily and will bring your pets with us if allowed to. We will happily book travel once a sit is confirmed to demonstrate our commitment to you,
