Hello...we are retired, physically fit, mid sixties-home owners from Canada who enjoy house sitting and cultural opportunities abroad.
Our backgrounds are from the airline industry (Les is a retired airline pilot and accomplished sailor with ocean crossings) and also from health care (Jan, nursing and administration).
We have both travelled extensively, are physically fit and have a common love for animals.
Why we want to house sit
We house sit primarily during the months of the Canadian winters and enjoy the responsibilities of caring for others pets and homes. Summer finds us enjoying the company of our friends, sailing our own boat or Les busy as an agent handling large yachts visiting Canada.
As home owners, we also appreciate the need to have reliable, trust worthy sitters.
We have been both dog and cat owners therefore understand the needs associated with caring for animals.
Our experience
We have had house sitting experiences in Australia, Mexico, Belize, France, Spain, Greece, Dubai, St. Thomas USVI and the islands of St. Kitts and Nevis.

I'm one of those people who think that no-one could ever look after my animals as well as I can. Well, Janice and Les certainly proved me wrong! They are two of the most caring people I have ever met, with a deep affection for animals. Our 10 cats and 2 dogs adored them, and were perfectly happy when we came home, having had so much love and attention lavished on them while we were away. Janice & Les also took great care of the garden, cleaned the house, and cooked us a wonderful meal when we got back home. We miss them, our dogs miss them, and anyone they housesit for in future will be very fortunate indeed.

Jan and Les arrived as strangers and left as friends. They cared for our home and our cat for 3 weeks during December 2017. They were excellent at communicating before the sit and we already felt at ease and confident after our first skype call. They arrived a day early and adapted very quickly to our home and surrounding area. While we were away they kept us well informed via email about our cat and even sent some photos. Our home was well cared for, clean, and of course our cat was also well looked after. We would not hesitate to have Jan and Les sit for us again and recommend them highly. Thanks so much Les and Jan and be careful about the invite to Halifax, we just may take you up on that!

Janice and Les were great.
They arrived before we left so that they could get to know the animals and their routines. During our vacation Janice sent updates and photos of happy pets which made me relax.
Upon our return all the cats and dogs were happy and the house was spick and span.

Janice and Les are a lovely couple, with whom we seemed to gain a rapport such that we will stay in touch. I am so happy that they enjoyed the time they spent here too.
We would have no hesitation in asking them to sit again.- Organised
