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. We have supplied personal references to help to assure you that we’re trustworthy, responsible, and reliable.

They were very observant about our dogs and asked about a mild limp that one dog had developed since their last dog sit.
Once again they sent regular updates which included pictures to us via email and text message. The dogs were walked more than once each day. When the dog food was getting low, they sent a message so that I would be aware that I would need to buy some soon after returning home.
Cheryl and Dan took time to clean our house (vacuumed, mopped and even wiped out the microwave!!). Then they washed the sheets and towels they used and made the bed along with some towel swans!! Like I said 5+ stars are needed!!
I highly recommend these two. If I could I would book them for every time I need a sitter!- Organised

We are so, so impressed by the care and attention Cheryl and Dan gave to our pets. We met them for a meet and greet prior to this sit. Cheryl took notes and they both asked excellent questions with regards to the house and pets. It was clear that they are both responsible and have knowledge from past experiences as homeowners and pet owners.
While away, they sent us pictures and updates. They even stayed later than we had originally discussed on our return day because there was a thunderstorm in the forecast and one of our dogs gets nervous during storms.
Upon our return they left a thoughtful note and our house was tidy.
I highly recommend these two for house and dog sitting. I sincerely hope that we have the fortune of having them sit for our Frenchie and Boston in the future!- Organised

Cheryl and her husband are amazing people and wonderful house and pet sitters. They are diligent, respectful and trustworthy. They have taken care of my pet and home when I have been away for extended periods of time and I have always come home to a happy dog and a very well cared for house.

Cheryl has taken care of my dog Shadow on many occasions, and there's nobody I'd trust more with a dog. She loves them and is very good with them.
