Jon & Sara Maria & Pokie Poo! The sweetest couple + pup trio you could ask for. Jon & Sara Maria pup-sat for me a number of times and my pup was always so thrilled to spend time with them. Not only were they considerate enough to ask dietary restrictions or special needs, they also were generous in sending in photos and videos of my pup so that I would never feel too far away. Beyond trustworthy they are true dog lovers & parents to the sweetest bucktoothed shih tzu you will ever meet!

Why we want to house sit

We're both location-flexible to some extent (I'm full digital nomad, my husband is technically tied to his Seoul office but is currently on sabbatical) so we are looking for charming new locations to explore that ideally come with a loving…
