About this sitter

We are financially secure, free to travel, and eager to experience the new! We are non-smokers, drug and alcohol free and healthy. We are flexible concerning location and duration of stay. We are enjoying traveling the world and periodically would love to have a time to housesit or care for your animals.
We just finished an assignment in Costa Rica for the the most lovely couple, Lisa and Hugo. It was 8 months in heaven with their 3 wonderful dogs. We are excited to see where this amazing life adventure will take us next! Who knows it may be your pets and home that we have the privilege and honor to care for!!

Why they want to house sit

We want to house sit to have the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the culture and get to know the locals real well. Our travels are about connecting with the people we come in contact with and making lasting memories. We are animal LOVERS and get our "pet fix" loving yours!!!!!

Their experience

We had responsible career positions for 25 years. As owners of our own homes and multiple rental properties since 1990, we respect your home and have skills to care for the unexpected. We appreciate the trust you place in us to care for your home and property, and conscientiously and competently respect it as our own.
We have experience in caring for our own animals, dogs, cats and fish. Before our travels started in 2011 we were caretakers for the Rancho Alegre Lodge, a 10,000 sq. ft Bed & Breakfast in Jackson Hole,WY! We cared for a cow (Raymond), two miniature horses (Jack and Cinco), 26 chickens and one sheep (Leon). We love the animals and bond closely with all our charges as if they were our own.
We have many excellent testimonials upon request.

Testimonials

Reliable and loving

PJ and Jim took care of our house and kitties again recently, and we were happy to leave everything in their care. PJ kept in touch via text, sending photos of happy kitties, and was prompt with questions. The house was spotless when we returned -- cleaner than we left it -- and the kitties spoiled and content. They went above and beyond for our senior kitties, making sure they got their meds and finding alternate foods when the cats decided to get picky. Most of all the cats were well-loved. I highly recommend PJ and Jim -- your pets and home will be cared for as if they were their own.

Loving, kind, and trustworthy.

PJ and Jim are a delightful couple and wonderful house-sitters. They took loving care of our pets (I think the kitties would like to keep PJ) and left our home immaculate. We appreciated how much they truly doted on the animals. I would not hesitate to recommend them as reliable house-sitters.

Pj and Jim robinson

I cannot recommend this lovely gentle couple to house and animal sit enough. They lived in my house in grenada west indies last summer for 10 weeks. They cared for my two doggies bobby and marty as if they were their own. We kept in touch regularly through skype and could see the boys were very happy and relaxed. The house and jeep were also taken care of immaculately. Jim did some jobs around the house too. You will have no problems in inviting them into your home.
