About Yvonne & James (jim)

We are an active-fit-animal loving-reliable-responsible-experienced pet/house/gym/small business sitting-professional couple, looking to travel to various places around the globe and assist pet & business owners by caring for their pet(s), homes, gym facility, small business or rental property. My name is Yvonne, and my better half is Jim.

We are an active-fit-animal loving-reliable-responsible-experienced pet/house/gym/small business sitting-professional couple, looking to travel to various places around the globe and assist pet & business owners by caring for their pet(s), homes, gym facility, small business or rental property. My name is Yvonne, and my better half is Jim.

Jim has completed an extremely rewarding 32 year career with the Toronto Fire Department, 14 of which he was in the role of “Captain”. He was also a Real Estate Agent and owned a very successful landscaping business on the side. He's quite the handyman around the house and has completed several home renovations, including plumbing and electrical work.

I (Yvonne) was in a Senior Management role in communications, in the financial services industry in Toronto, for over 25 years. I am currently a Freelance Writer, Yoga Instructor, and Certified Fitness Coach for Adults, Seniors and Children.

We have owned dogs, cats, fish and hamsters, and currently have flexibility in our schedule to do some pet/house/business sitting. We walk/hike/run everyday, so if you have any pets that need daily exercise, we're the perfect match!

Why we want to house sit

We have owned several houses and condos, and cared for dogs, cats, hamsters and fish throughout their entire lifetimes. We are unable to commit to owning a pet again at this time, but do love caring for furry friends and helping owners be away from them and their homes without any worries!

We understand that your pet is a very important member of your family, and when you are away from them, you need to feel comfortable with the arrangements you have made.

Our experience includes caring for well and sick pets, and even those in heat!

Our experience

As pet owners for many years, gym and small business operators, and homeowners for over 30 years, we are experienced at caring for pets, small businesses, gyms, homes, property, pool and hot tub maintenance. Jim has even saved pets from fires during his career!

We can handle all your varied pet care needs, from walking the dog, to changing the kitty litter, to cleaning the bird cage.

We have experience at caring for pets during illness, and we pride ourselves in being able to give them the extra care they need when not feeling well, or recovering from surgery. We are also experienced with caring for Rescue dogs.

We will mind your plants with care, watering them and keeping them healthy according to your instructions. We also water exterior gardens and flower beds, and care for lawns as requested.

We are experienced landlords used to dealing with short and long term tenants, should you require assistance in this area as part of your property management needs.

    Yvonne and Jim were fantastic sitters! They arrived right on time and kept in constant communication with us throughout the weekend, including lots of updates with photos of our pups. Jim even assisted our neighbor when a water spigot broke in the backyard! When we got home, the dogs were calm & relaxed and the house was in perfect order. In fact, Yvonne and Jim went out of their way to wash the bed sheets & towels and empty the trash (totally unexpected but very much appreciated!) – the house looked better than it did when they arrived. We highly recommend them and would happily welcome them back any time!

    Yvonne and Jim sat for us and our 2 dogs for one week in February 2018. They were great sitters and the dogs obviously enjoyed their time with them. They took the dogs for super long walks, kept us updated with daily emails and photos and left the house clean and tidy. We highly recommend them and are hoping that they will be able to come back and sit for us again this summer.

    We highly recommend Yvonne and Jim for pet and/or housesitting. They took excellent care of our two dogs, who are like children to us. They sent us daily updates with photos. We found them friendly, personable, trustworthy, responsible ... everything one would want in a housesitter. They had the house in perfect condition upon our return -- kind of like campers who "leave no trace." We and our puppies give Yvonne and Jim 5 stars!
