Thank you for checking out our profile. We are the Bondurant family. We are international teachers who are currently living and working in Beijing, China. We are seeking learning experiences and service opportunities as we travel. We are American, but have been living abroad for many years (Saudi Arabia - 8 years, Thailand - 5 years, China - 2 years). Marca is an elementary school teacher who loves art, archaeology, and photography. She was also zookeeper once upon a time. Ashely teaches technology to middle and high school students and loves gardening. Evan is a twelve year old aspiring veterinarian who loves Lego, reading and mythology. Kiran, ten, loves to cook, take photos, and discover how things work. We enjoy exploring new places and would love to take care of your home and pets.
Why we want to house sit
We would like to house sit to be able to experience different places like a local. We love animals and feel like life is lonely without them. As experienced expats, we also know how hard it is to leave pets behind when traveling. We want to give you the peace of mind to know that your furry friend is in good hands while you are away.
Our experience
We have been fortunate to have had house sitting opportunities in Quito, Santiago, and Ljubljana. We will always do our best to take excellent care of your home and animals. Over the years we have had dogs, cats, birds, fish, iguanas, snakes, guinea pigs, rats, and hamsters. We love animals! We also enjoy gardening and would love to try our hand at a small farm. Additionally, I (Marca) worked at a small zoo during university and Ashely is very handy around the house having remodeled our craftsman bungalow before our traveling experiences began. We also have recent FBI clearance available on request.

Marca and her family took excellent care of our dogs while we traveled. They were communicative and kept the house very clean. Our dogs seemed like they had been taken care of very well in our absence. We would be very happy to welcome Marca and her family back to our home again.

While we were on the road, we received updates and photos from Marca and Ashley, and we never worried at all. We felt 100% confident that our cat, Ella, was in good hands. In fact, when we returned Friday night, Ella greeted us nonchalantly as though she was disappointed the holiday had come to an end. Her coat was softer than usual, suggesting she enjoyed a lot of brushing and TLC in our absence. Our apartment was cleaner than we had left it (and Ashley even fixed the broken kitchen faucet!). We enjoyed meeting Marca and the whole family. They have great stories about living and traveling abroad. We also greatly appreciated their flexibility when we changed our return date. Overall, we can highly recommend Marca and family as organized, caring, reliable house sitters.

Marca, Ashely and their two boys great house sitters for the month that they were here. They left the house spotless and even got us some bread and fruit so that we had something when we came back the house. Our toaster broke when we were gone and they bought us a new one. We were able to have dinner with them after we returned and they are a kind and wonderful family. I would highly recommend them to anyone (with our without pets).
