About Brandon & Adva
We're a couple who have just started a year of traveling Europe, beginning with the UK.
Adva is a translator from Israel, Brandon is a graphic designer/animator from GA, USA.
Our interests are generally artistic - music, writing, film (and filmmaking), and we write and create together.

We're a couple who have just started a year of traveling Europe, beginning with the UK.
Adva is a translator from Israel, Brandon is a graphic designer/animator from GA, USA.
Our interests are generally artistic - music, writing, film (and filmmaking), and we write and create together.
We're clean, tidy, non-smokers, and one half of us is very handy with fixing things around the house.
As you can see, we only have external references at the moment, as we've only just started traveling and signed up for TrustedHousesitters. That said, we have both fostered and housesat cats, dogs and farm animals to great success - more details in the 'experience' section below, and in our external references.
Why we want to house sit
We want to see the world and we both have jobs that allow us to work while traveling, so we'll be primarily working from home, which means we'll be around for your pets. :)
Since we're both very much animal people, having pets around to take care of and play with will make our travels so much more fun.
Our travels are meant to be mellow and low-key, more like just living than vacationing/holidaying, so we won't be out for very long excursions.
Our experience
We've both been spending most of our lives surrounded by cats and dogs and have been the proud humans of a few.
Adva has fostered 16 cats and dogs in recent years, taking care of them until they found their forever home, and she also volunteered at a dog shelter for six years. Apart from that, Adva has housesat friends' cats and dogs several times, both for shorter and more extended stays (up to two months).
While living in Puerto Rico, Brandon did extended housesits (a few weeks to a month at a time, on several occasions) for a couple who had a homestead/small farm full of animals, including cats, dogs, chickens, goats, guinea hens, bunnies, and fish. He also house sat for other dog and cat owners on various occasions during his 4 years there.
Adva has a bunch of experience (via her work at the shelter) in taking care of sick and wounded cats and dogs. Hopefully, your pets will not need it, but in case they do, they will be in good and experienced hands (before and after taking them to the vet, of course).
Brandon is both digitally and manually creative. Currently a freelancer in graphic design/animation, he is also a former Airbnb Superhost and woodworker. He is handy around the house and can fix minor household problems that come up, provided there are tools around.

Well the cats did not even bother to get out of bed when we got home! OK the parrot recognised our voices and greeted us as usual. They came the night before and left the night after. All was fine and they are highly recommended. Welcome back anytime and I hope they continue to enjoy their travels.

Brandon and Adva were a lovely sweet couple and all was quiet and well looked after in our absence. This was our first Trusted Housesitter experience and it worked really well. Brandon and Adva arrived a day early at our home at an agreed time, i showed them around the neighbourhood and we ate dinner with them on the night before we left.
Communication was fine whilst we were away and we came back to a happy dog. What more could you ask for?
We'd be happy to have Brandon and Adva to House sit again in our home and wish them all the best for their travels and adventures together.- Organised

Brandon and Adva were excellent house sitters. Our dogs liked them very much, and were looked after in the style to which they are accustomed!! We very much enjoyed spending a little time with Brandon and Adva at the beginning and end of the visit.
