About John & Carole
Over the last decade we have informally looked after pets and homes of friends and acquaintances in Canada and Mexico. We enjoyed the experience and would now love to formalize it and explore more of the world and meet many new people.

Over the last decade we have informally looked after pets and homes of friends and acquaintances in Canada and Mexico. We enjoyed the experience and would now love to formalize it and explore more of the world and meet many new people.
We are a professional couple with 2 grown sons and we have traveled extensively in developed and developing countries.
Currently we are volunteer as dog caregivers with the Alberta Animal Rescue
Crew Society in Calgary. This organization is concerned for the welfare of abandoned, abused and surrendered dogs and cats. The animals are kept in a safe haven until adopted.
We are non-smokers and are physically fit and active.
Why we want to house sit
We have had dogs, hamsters birds and fish as pets over the years and despite the time and attention these pets required we have always loved them and enjoyed sharing time with them.
We would like to combine our love of travel with our love of pets. At present we are constrained from having a pet due to condominium bylaws so we must have this experience vicariously
We have owned houses and condominiums as our residence and also have revenue properties. We are well versed in dealing with property problems. We have developed a good sense of how to quickly and effectively resolve concerns for both home and pets.
We respect other peoples property and values and will at all time honor the reasonable rules the home/pet owners would ask us to observe
Our experience
The most exclusive quality that we can offer to the owner is our integrity and trustworthiness. We are problem solvers and deal with situations quickly and as completely as possible without concerning the homeowner while away on holiday or business
We speak English, French and some Spanish
We are, thankfully, quite healthy both mentally and physically and remain quite active in sporting activities.

John and Carole were the perfect house- and petsitters, they left our house clean and tidy, they love our Baidu our Dobermann so much, they pampered, coddled, almost spoiled him, making Baidu sad for the first days they left. We had some days together, some days before we left, and had also a very good time together.
We hope to see them again and or have them sitting again next time.
Many thanks Carole and John! -

It was great to be away and not have to worry about my pets. Both John and Carole were excellent at communicating while I was gone. Not only did I get emails but I also received photos and videos!

Carole and John lovely caring people. We spoke via skype and hit it off straight away.
All arrangements were fine. Spent a few days together so they could work on Chico's routines etc.
No hesitation on recommending them.Carole and John lovely caring people. We spoke via skype and hit it off straight away.
