We are a retired teacher couple, 64 and 65 years old. We decided to retire early so we could enjoy travelling and all that life has to offer. Our daughter is grown and living in Europe and we have no grandchildren yet so our schedules are open!

Throughout our lives we have both always had pets including dogs of all sizes, shapes and temperaments, cats and fish. We can’t imagine life without at least one four legged companion to make a house a home.

We have always enjoyed travelling and often travel with our 2 miniature poodles. For long trips or international locations, our girls stay home with their own live-in dog sitter……so we’re well aware of all the preparation and expectations involved having a house/pet sitter.

We’ve owned our own home or condominium for almost 40 years so are well versed in what’s involved in home management and care, including hot tubs and swimming pools.

We've travelled in Scandinavia, Europe, Australia, Asia, Mexico, the US and within Canada and have enjoyed all of our trips immensely. We look forward to seeing more of our wonderful world in the years to come.

We are quiet, conscientious non-smokers who drink very little – sometimes a glass of wine with dinner or a beer with a barbequed hamburger on a hot summer day. We’re respectful of the neighbors and others around us and seek harmony in all interactions with humans and animals.

Why we want to house sit

We both love to travel and experience the communities we visit. We enjoy meeting and living like the locals as much as possible to experience the true way of life of each place instead travel that involves guided tours and organized activities.

While we’re travelling, we miss having our dogs to cuddle so looking after your pets will give us great enjoyment. We enjoy ‘pet activities’ – play, walks and the comfort and sense of serenity pets bring to our lives.

Our experience

We have been pet owners for our entire lives & home owners for almost 40 years. Our experience in education, both as administrators and teachers, has given us the skills to be able to deal quickly and effectively with any situations as they arise.

Our philosophy on dealing with pets is that calmness and consistency, as well as patience, will always save the day. Reward, not punishment is the always the way to go. Our own pets are 'part of the family' and that's how we would treat yours too.

We’ve looked after other’s cats and dogs, for both long and short terms, and in every case, it has been a positive situation. As well, we’ve been a ‘rescue foster home’, caring for dogs waiting to go to their forever homes.

We’ve had lots of experience with home care, including maintenance of water systems for hot tubs, pools and fountains. We like to live in an environment that is clean, tidy, and organized. We would care for your home as if it was our own and keep it in great condition for your return. We know from having our own pet/house sitters how nice it is to come home to happy pets and a house that does not have any issues caused by the sitter.

We would be most respectful of not only your pets, but your home too.

We’re both up-to-date on technology and are happy to communicate with you before and during the pet / housesitting job by email and skype. We’re willing to work with you to make our time in your home a positive situation for all.

We look forward to hearing from you and hope that we can plan a successful vacation for all of us, whether on 2 legs or 4.

    Eva and Dan are wonderful. Not only are they warm and caring, they took impeccable care of our house, pond, fish and two dogs, Gracie & Oliver. They brought their two small dogs along with our permission, and the four formed a jolly pack. Our younger dog Oliver howled for two day after his two new friends left. We would gladly invite Eva and Dan back any time, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly.

    We SO enjoyed staying with Gracie and Oliver. Joe and Gary were very welcoming, their instructions were clear and comprehensive, and their home was a pleasure to spend time in. We look forward to meeting up again when we return to Palm Springs at Christmas and also having Gracie and Ollie stay with us at our place at that time. Thanks so much for a great experience!

    Thank you so much Eva and Dan for keeping care of Pirate and Boots. I know they were happy to have you around. And we also thank you for the care you gave to our home. It was a pleasure to have you. I highly recommend you to anyone who needs a pet sitter. Our house was in perfect condition, the cats were happy and we were able to enjoy a worry free vacation. I hope our paths will meet again. All the best

    Thank you so much, Ruth and Jean, for the opportunity to spend time with Pirate and Boots in your beautiful home!

    Boots and Pirate are so easy to look after and very sweet cats! They were cuddly on occasion, and kept a close eye on us, waiting for our return if we were out. We enjoyed our stay in Valbonne - lovely location, lovely home - everything wonderful!

    We hope to meet up with you again some time!

    Eva and Dan were the first housesitters we've used through this site. I think they spoiled us for future experiences since they did such a wonderful job! They stayed in our home and took care of our cat and two dogs for six nights while we were in Phoenix. Before they arrived, Eva and I spoke on the phone and were in contact through email. I felt very comfortable leaving our fur babies with them!

    They were kind enough to drop my husband and I off at the airport. They stayed in contact through email, sending us updates and photos of our happy pets. The amount of communication was perfect-- not at all intrusive, just enough to keep us reassured.

    All of our pets were healthy and happy upon our return. I think our cat misses how much attention they gave her! They took our dogs for many walks and dog park outings, always ensuring they weren't alone for very long.

    Our house was spotless when we returned, possibly cleaner than when we left! They even changed our sheets and washed our towels for us before taking off.

    We would not hesitate to have Eva and Dan return as house sitters. They were top-notch! Thanks for everything!

    Thank you Becki! It was a great week for us. We enjoyed your comfortable home and your lovely fur babies! When we're next driving by your place, we'll probably stop with our dogs at Marymoor - maybe we'll see you there!
