We sold our home six years ago, and have been traveling and house sitting ever since. It has been a wonderful opportunity to see the world, while still having a home base, and lots of pets to keep us company. The pets have been wonderful, funny and loveable, making it difficult sometimes to leave them. We have loved visiting different countries, getting to know what makes their lives different from ours, while finding that we are all the same really. We take the responsibility given us, very seriously,making a total commitment to the pets and property we have been entrusted with.

Why we want to house sit

We love travel, but still like living in a home environment, with pets to keep us company. We enjoy taking part in the local activities, enjoying the customs, food, and of course the people. Staying in one location, with the comforts of a home provides the feeling of attachment to the community. We have been to Europe several times, and are very comfortable with their style of living, and even though we are not fluent in the languages, have been able to communicate fairly easily. We particularly love Italy and France, having spent many vacations there. We love having the companionship of the many pets we have sat, and often found it difficult to leave them. We become very attached to them.

Our experience

We have maintained homes and gardens for over forty years. This has given us the experience, to cope with, and handle any of the problems that can arise. I also bring the organizational skills, that come from running my own business for twenty five years and teaching for 12 years. We also enjoyed caring for our little Yorkie for over thirteen years, so are used to the responsibility of taking care of a pet. We enjoyed our garden and spent numerous hours there; having a garden to tend would be a great pastime. We are dependable and honest, and once committed, will make sure all of the requests are fulfilled. We do keep in contact with the owners, often sending photos of their beloved pets.

    Elena and I were thrilled to have Margaret and Louis sitting in our home with our two kittens during the months of June/July, 2017, while we were traveling and cruising extensively in Europe. The house was maintained in perfect order and Louis kindly attended to my lawn and yard. Our kittens, Chico & Romeo, enjoyed loving care and companionship, for which we were most grateful.
    We would welcome Margaret and Louis in our home at any future time the opportunity presented itself, and we highly recommend them as trusted and ideal sitters to anyone who might care to arrange for their sitting services.

    I don't know how I missed leaving a review for this truly special couple. They were terrific and as I always arrange to have a house sitter arrive at least 2 days ahead and leave after we are safely back, we got to spend a little time with Margaret and Louis and found them to be very warm and easy to know. We never felt as though there were strangers in our home. Upon return we found our home and our pets beautifully cared for. Our only hope is that their schedule and ours coordinate for another house sit in the future. We have the pleasure of keeping in touch and will do so whether or not we are lucky enough to have them here as sitters.
