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.

Peter and Carol were wonderful! They communicated with me before and during the stay (enough and not overwhelming), were very flexible and accommodating when my departure date changed, and were self-sufficient despite us having no overlap. They kept my dog so active, I think he will miss them more than when I was gone! They were self-sufficient, kept my home tidy upon my return, and even left goodies for me. Will be more than happy to have them again.

Hi Patty,
Thank you so much for your review. We had a great time with your pets, particularly with Finn who is a great walker and so affectionate. We also found Basil and Peppa lots of fun and very cuddly. We would love to see them again some time. In the meantime, I am sure they are delighted to have you back!
Best,

Peter and Carol have been taking care of my cats and house for over 10 days. They were very friendly and we had a nice chat when we met. During the holidays they’ve been always communicating and sending pictures of the cats. When I came back the house was super tidy, clean and they left a surprise for us, thank you so much! But the best part is that Ares and Noa were really calmed and happy! I would definitely recommend Peter and Carol again! Thank you so much for your kindness and patience and for being such a great sitters XX
