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.

It was a pleasure to have Yvonne and Jim house and cat sit for us. We had a pleasant introduction over skype. While we were away, they let us know when they arrived and had daily contact with us about our two female cats including lovely photos of the girls. They let us know when they left and we arrived home to very happy kitties, a clean and tidy house, with bed sheets and towels washed. We would not hesitate to use them again knowing that our home and cats would be well cared for by them.

No one could be better. Energetic, considerate, thoughtful! Yvonne and Jim took wonderful care of our Aspen and our home. They even did laundry (towels and bed sheets) so we could simply come home and be at home. Neighbors reported that they saw them out walking or playing with Aspen several times each day. It was really special to receive frequent emails with pictures of Aspen while we were away. We cannot thank them enough.
