About Ferguson
Hi, I'm Fergie, I recently retired after 40 years in Operations Management with the public transit systems in Victoria and Vancouver British Columbia Canada. After 40 years of living and working in the "big city" I retired and relocated to the picturesque ocean side village of Port Alice on north western Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

Why I want to house sit
House sitting allows me to travel the world, experience new adventures, new cultures and make new friends. House sitting provides a great environment to vacation among the local community while sharing the companionship of the animals I'm caring for.
My experience
I've done several house and pet sits since joining THS, from Kauai, Crete, Victoria Canada, Sooke Canada and Maui. Prior to joining THS I did many house and pet sits for friends, family and co-workers. I am trustworthy, reliable and experienced house sitter. I love dogs, cats and all animals.I have one son and daughter-in-law that I have house and pet sat for many times. A few years ago I regularly house and pet sat for a colleague, who was a former RCMP Dog Handler, and his wife who was an active RCMP member, their two cats and Golden Labrador. I have done two home exchanges through Intervac Home Exchange; , one in Hawaii and the last was in Portsmouth England. I have had dogs and cats as pets over the years, including a Saint Bernard, Springer Spaniel, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Labrador, Basset Hound and a cats. I understand the importance of finding someone you can trust to care for your home, pets and property while you're away. I have travelled in England, Spain, Greece, Italy and many states in the USA. I do not smoke nor drink and live a very quiet life. I've lived with pets most of my life. I respect everyones home as if it were my own. I enjoy working in the garden and I am well acquainted with home maintenance and repairs. I can provide you with a worry free vacation, knowing your pets and home are safe and secure in my care.

The best ever!
I felt from the moment I met Fergie that my little guys were in good hands.
I came home to a clean house, car and even coiffed dogs. A win win for me, my dogs and hopefully for Fergie.The best ever!

Fergie looked after our home and cat Sam earlier this year so well earlier this year that when we had an opportunity to house and pet sit in Maui we reached out to him to see if he might like to come back. Fergie got back to us very quickly to let us know he was available for the dates we needed and that he would be pleased to house sit for us again. Plus he had recently completed a House and Pet Sit on Maui and shared so many tips and so much good information about Maui he enhanced our trip greatly.
Just as in his previous house sits for us Fergie truly exceeded our expectations. Fergie is always professional, courteous and respectful, all the qualities you want in a house and pet sitter. Fergie sent us regular updates with pictures of Sam to make sure we knew Sam was doing great and having a wonderful time. Fergie gave Sam all the love and attention Sam demands and even gave him a nickname Samuel L Catson. Although it was November it has been a very dry year in Victoria, Fergie was diligent in keeping the plants watered and cared for and thanks to him our garden looked better than when we left.
Fergie did everything! He looked after Sam who is on a special diet so well Sam really missed him when he left. AND like many of Fergie’s previous reviews state he also left our home spotlessly clean and tidy and as I mentioned previously the garden was in excellent shape. Knowing Sam and our home were receiving excellent care from Fergie once again gave my husband and I the joy of worry free travel.
We highly recommend Fergie and hope he will be available the next time we need a house sitter. If we could give Fergie more than 5 stars we would do it in a heartbeat!- Organised

Fergie is a very nice man with a big heart and we are lucky to have found him as a pet sitter. Our cats loved his company for 4 weeks and we loved knowing that our cats were safe, well fed, and with good company while we were away. Even our rather skittish cat warmed up to Fergie quite quickly and we can tell that they missed him when he left. Fergie stayed in constant contact with us through out our trip and sent pictures and updates very often. The house was clean and tidy when we arrived home. We will definetly be calling Fergie for our next big vacation. Thanks so much Fergie and we all hope to see you again one day!
