Hello!

We are Amy and Derrick, experienced house sitters from the East coast of Canada. We joined Trusted House sitters in 2017 and have enjoyed visiting different locales and bonding with the pets.

Derrick runs his own Environmental Consulting business, which keeps him busy 8 months of the year with free time in the winter months. He is able to do landscaping and yard work if required. He is skilled with a chainsaw and can drive a tractor! He owns and maintains two apartment buildings and has experience dealing with all sorts of property issues and knows when it is time to call a professional. He loves bird watching, hiking and discovering new eco systems.

Amy ran an organic vegetable farm with Derrick on her family's land for 7 years. The farm business has been scaled back to allow time for creative projects and travel. In the past, Amy had a painting studio and sold art at local galleries. She plans on reviving her art practice and returning to selling her work. She loves to cook and is inspired by local ingredients and new cuisines.

We don't have any human children, but have always considered our dogs and cats to be our family. If you would like to follow our Boston Terrier Gigi -she is on Instagram as @miss_gigi_the_bt

Why we want to house sit

House sitting appeals to us in that, we can experience a location at our own pace and enjoy the companionship of pets. Walking in natural surroundings is always more enjoyable with a dog and curling up with a good book is better with a cat on your lap.
When we had our farm we hosted young volunteers or woofers from around the world. It was interesting to meet people and hear about their adventures and clued us in to networks of travelers helping others. Trusted Housesitters has opened up a new way of traveling for us.

Our experience

We both have had cats and dogs as pets over the years. We have experience with administering different types of medications to both cats and dogs. We will do our best to ensure the health and safety of your pets and make sure their needs for food, play, exercise and affection are met. We have experience with the training needs of puppies and the special needs of senior pet care.

We have owned our home and take pride in keeping it tidy and maintained. We will respect the instructions you leave and your home will be clean when you return.
We both have gardening experience and are happy to care for indoor and outdoor plants.

    We had no worries when leaving our beloved dog with Amy. Stella seemed to take to her and was immediately at ease around her. We could tell that Amy's calm and gentle way with Stella would be the perfect match. While we were away, Amy kept in touch daily by text and photos, so we knew all was well. And we returned to a very happy little dog, and our house was tidy and clean. Thank you Amy. We hope that you will be happy to come back and care for Stella again sometime.

    Amy was THE BEST! So friendly, so open, so accommodating, and so loving of my precious dog! She sent me a pic every day of she and my pup, and left my house immaculate. I loved getting the chance to meet her, and give her my highest recommendation for house/pet sitting!
