About Cheryl & Dan
Hi, we’re Dan and Cheryl, a retired, non-smoking couple in our early 60’s. We’ve been married for 30 years, and live in Calgary, Canada. We also have a home in Puerto Peñasco, Mexico, and spend the winters there.
We walk, we cycle, we garden, and we travel.

Hi, we’re Dan and Cheryl, a retired, non-smoking couple in our early 60’s. We’ve been married for 30 years, and live in Calgary, Canada. We also have a home in Puerto Peñasco, Mexico, and spend the winters there.
We walk, we cycle, we garden, and we travel.
We recently lost our almost-15-yr-old golden retriever, and are missing her terribly, so if you have dogs, we would be delighted to look after them for you. We understand that your pets are family members, and their walks, playtime, and meals will be top priority for us.
We are conscientious, responsible and honest, and will treat your home with the utmost respect.
Why we want to house sit
We love to travel, and we plan to spend a few months each year visiting new places, but frankly, it can be both expensive and exhausting. House sitting is the perfect solution to both problems. We’re not the types to bounce around just checking out the major attractions, we prefer to settle in some place and really get to know it. House sitting offers the opportunity to pretend we’re locals, wherever we are.
Our experience
We’re new to this site, so we don’t have a lot of reviews to share, but we’ve owned our own home for over 30 years, have had 2 beloved furry family members, and have a lifetime of experience looking after the homes and pets of family and friends. Dan is extremely handy, and can manage any kind of minor repairs that might crop up. We both have international driving permits, and usually arrange rental vehicles when we travel. We have supplied personal references to help to assure you that we’re trustworthy, responsible, and reliable.

This was the third time we have had Dan and Cheryl stay in our home and care for our 2 dogs. They really are fantastic. I cannot praise them enough. As usual with Dan And Cheryl, we came home to a spotless house, they laundered their sheets and towels, they sent us several updates and pictures of our fur babies while away, and this time they even filled our fruit bowl! They are phenomenal, I am not exaggerating.
But the big thing for us, the underlying base of a third invitation back into our home is trust. Finding a dog/house sitter used to such a nerve-racking experience. It would even keep us from making any sort of overnight plans. We completely trust Cheryl and Dan with our house and our dogs.- Organised

Having Cheryl and Dan sit for us was a dream. From start to finish they ensured everything went smoothly. It was obvious they truly love dogs. They took Ruby on lots of walks,sent updates with pictures which is always most welcome. They went above and beyond by picking me up at the airport when my flight was delayed. I came home to a happy dog, a clean house, a lovely card and some treats.

Cheryl & Dan were amazing. We were nervous about leaving our 7 month old puppy for the first time. We anticipated there would be separation anxiety for both us and Hamish. They put our minds at ease right away and were wonderful about staying in touch and passing along updates. And in addition to this, our home has never looked better! The house was spotless, the yard looked great, and we arrived home to homemade rhubarb muffins. We are both certain Hamish is now having separation anxiety from Cheryl & Dan. To say we would recommend Cheryl & Dan seems like an understatement. They exceeded our highest expectation and allowed us to have a stress free vacation. We arrived home to a happy home and a pampered puppy!
