Tony and I enjoy traveling .We have been to Europe the last five years, staying for several months at a time. We have travelled extensively in Canada, and the United States, including Hawaii. We had a lot of fun island hopping around the Caribbean and French Polynesia. We also love animals and enjoy the company they provide. We have had pets in our family for over 20 years. I really enjoy working in the garden, both vegetables and flowers. I spin and dye my own wool. Tony enjoys the outdoors and is a sport enthusiast. We are very fit and active, non-smokers(don't mind if you do). We are both semi-retired, so we are free to travel, and come and go as we please. We are quite flexible in regards to length of House sit.
Why we want to house sit
House sitting gives us a chance to visit other parts of the world while enjoying the company of animals(if they happen to come with the house sitting responsibilities). We are honest, friendly and dependable. Providing the pet/homeowner comfort, knowing that they have someone they can rely on to take care of their 4 legged loved ones, and make sure that their home is well taken care of by experienced homeowners.
Our experience
We own and operate Holdsworth House Bed and Breakfast in Digby, Nova Scotia. Margaret is employed with the Canadian Coast Guard, on a relief work basis, passing high levels of security clearance and obtains all the necessary certificates and qualifications.
We are a professional, reliable couple, and we love animals. We currently have one dog, a rescue from the Turks and Caicos Islands. All our "babies" lived long healthy lives, and now are in pet heaven. We volunteer at a farm/ranch 2km from our home. We both are efficient in general home maintenance and repair, lawn and garden and tree trimming(chainsaw experience). Having owned a home with an in ground swimming pool, we are familiar with the running of the filtration and circulation systems, cleaning and chemical applications. Both are licensed drivers, and can provide a clean drivers abstract.

Margaret and Tony are a wonderful easy going couple and an absolute pleasure to have looking after our dog Axle. He was spoilt rotten. They are totally reliable, trustworthy, organised, understanding and able to go with the flow even when our travel plans changed due to unforeseen circumstances ...
Margaret and Tony are a wonderful easy going couple and an absolute pleasure to have looking after our dog Axle. He was spoilt rotten. They are totally reliable, trustworthy, organised, understanding and able to go with the flow even when our travel plans changed due to unforeseen circumstances cutting our break shorter, and having us around for 5 days more than originally planned.
Really you could not wish for a nicer couple to entrust your home and pets to, they are absolutely 5star.
Missing you guys already, and thanks for the chocolate brownies- Organised

Response from Margaret & Tony
This was our first house sit in Tunisia. We couldn't have asked for a better introduction. Christi and Paul are very easy going and made us feel like one of the family.
Axle was an absolute charm. He was a cuddlely bed buddy and liked nothing more than to hang out with us.
We hope that the opportunity presents itself again to house sit for Christi and Paul .
Please let Axle know that the chicken man shall return!! -

Margaret and Tony were great people and great housesitters. They really looked after our dog, Pik and were interesting to talk to. We felt comfortable leaving our dog with them for a week whilst we were away.
