About Paige & Doug
Hello - we are a semi-retired, cat-loving professional couple, who live in Victoria BC, Canada, in a home we completely renovated a few years ago. We love it here, and we want to explore other places, too. We've traveled to Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, Scotland, Cuba, Mexico, many parts of the US and all over Canada - we've often thought of do...
Hello - we are a semi-retired, cat-loving professional couple, who live in Victoria BC, Canada, in a home we completely renovated a few years ago. We love it here, and we want to explore other places, too. We've traveled to Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, Scotland, Cuba, Mexico, many parts of the US and all over Canada - we've often thought of doing a house-exchange, but haven't wanted to leave Lewis (the cat). This seems like the perfect opportunity to try something new!
Why we want to house sit
Well what a perfect solution - finding a way to travel, have your pet(s) and your house taken care of, and experience other parts of the world at the same time. We almost always take the road less traveled - and while tourist destinations are lovely, we tend to appreciate experiencing where and how real people live in real places. Plus, we're not really the fancy hotel type...
Our experience
We are both cat lovers, and have past experience with dogs, horses, birds, and hamsters :) We've owned a rental property for the past 15 years or so and managed various tenant agreements over the years - so we know how important it is to respect and care for someones' property. We've also used VRBO quite a bit, so we're certainly familiar with these kinds of arrangements.
While we don't have a lot of formal experience house sitting, recently we have done a short-term house-swap with a couple from Vancouver, and some time ago we did a longer-term house-sit for a couple of months in Kelowna. We also regularly care for our neighbour's cat and keep an eye on the house while they travel.
