Our experience

We’ve been members of Trusted House-sitters for about four years and it’s been a great experience! We’ve had the opportunity to meet many nice people, many charming cats, and the occasional fish. We’ve been able to stay in very

Helen and Marc did a great job taking care of our cat and left our place clean. We would happily recommend them to anyone else looking for a housesitter!

I have know Helen and her husband Marc for over 17 years. She and are are RN's and have worked together for most of those years. Through out all of these years we have maintained an active social life, hiking the coastline and mountains of the San Francisco Bay Area along with enjoying good food and conversation. Much of our conversation involves Helen's tales of travel, she and Marc have a true passion for it! I believe they would be great house sitters because, while they love to travel, they also enjoy their own space, taking time to read and relax instead of joining tours groups and partaking in a late night scene. When I am in need of a pet sitter, this fact is personally most important to me. I want someone to be a companion to my pets, not a busy tourist.
