We are both retired and are ready and excited to do more exploring and travelling. Sandra worked 31 years in banking ( TD Bank Small Business Advisor and branch manager) and Byron worked 37 years in policing (RCMP). We are both East Coasters originally. Sandra was born in Buchans, NL and raised in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador. Byron was born in Wolfville, NS and was raised in Sussex, NB
We have 2 grown children and 2 grandchildren that are the light of our lives!
Why we want to house sit
We have travelled quite a bit in Canada, US , the UK , some major cities in Europe and the Caribbean. We love to house sit as it gives us the opportunity to visit different areas and experience life there as a local citizen , not just see the area as tourists.
Our experience
Over the years we have owned 2 dogs: Hertzi ( a Schnauzer ) and Treasure ( Lhasa Apso). We have experience with little and big dog breeds and often stay with our “granddogs” as well. So far in 2018 we have completed 3 house sits and have experience with kitties now as well

Sandy and Barney were wonderful house-sitters; reliable,responsible, communicative, neat, and above all, very loving to our pets. We returned to a spic and span house with clean sheets & towels, happy and well-fed animals (who had been recently walked), and a thoughtful gift of wine and a dog-lovers memo pad. They were affable and lovely to be around and we'd love to have them back anytime. Finally, they had to leave before we arrived home from our trip and Sandy checked in two days before we were due to return to make sure we all agreed on what time they should leave and what needed to be done before they left. They even asked us to let them know we'd arrived home safely -- a thoughtful touch. Thanks Sandy & Barney for loving our babies like your own.

Sandra and Barney were terrific housesitters. They left the house in perfect condition upon our return and I could tell by Jett's content behavior when we came home that he was well cared for by our sitters from the great North. They contacted me whenever they had a question and gave me frequent updates on our dog's welfare. I would have them back anytime and felt so fortunate to have them watch over our home and pet. They are a respectful, caring and active couple.

Sandy and Barny are a lovely couple - intelligent, reliable, conscientious and great communicators. We did not have a single concern while we were on vacation, knowing that our home and privacy would be respected. They took very good care of our home and left it in a squeaky clean condition. They embraced all our wild critters, even buying food for them. If you made a check list of every fine quality you would want your sitters to have, every box would be ticked for Sandy and Barny. Consider yourself fortunate should they accept your offer to housesit for you. Highly recommended!
