Why we want to house sit
We find house-sitting is a great way to see the world. We like staying in houses when we travel, and we love taking care of pets.
Our experience
We have had a few pet-sitting experiences in Canada, the US and England. We've gone as long as five weeks (sitting a dog and six cats). We help to look after our neighbour's dog, and we have spent three weeks looking after a cat. We walk dogs regularly and are extremely sensitive to the animals' needs. We also understand that we're caring for someone's home and respect our hosts' property.

I can't say enough great things about Peter and Carol! They were great communicators before, during and after the housesit, my cat was well-attended to and I received daily updates and photos on how he was doing. Peter also alerted me of a plumbing issue with my shower, and even tried to fix the drain himself! I came back to a very clean house, and a very happy cat. I highly recommend them to housesit for you, and I am grateful for Trusted Housesitters!

Response from Peter & Carol
Thanks for your kind words, Miriam. We thoroughly enjoyed looking after Rumi for a week, and meeting you before your trip. Miriam is a great host -- she was honest with us in the description of her apartment and was responsive to our messages during our visit. Rumi is a great cat -- super affectionate and a lot of fun.

Peter and Carol were wonderful! They did an excellent job taking care of my dog Cassi - who can be quite energetic - and the apartment was in perfect condition when I got home. Cassi looked happy and well cared for when I returned and I would be happy to have Peter and Carol sit for me any time!

Response from Peter & Carol
Kerry and Kassi were a joy to housesit for. Cassi is a lovely dog and the apartment is in a fantastic location. Kerry is a great person to work with, great in terms of communication and cooperation. We had such a fantastic time at her flat that we wish it had been longer. We'd highly recommend sitting for Kerry.
