This was the first time we had strangers take care of our house and dog. We couldn't have asked for better sitters! Mel and Irene were delightful. They took very good care of our rambunctious one year old puppy Frankie and our home for 6 weeks. Our house was spotless when we returned and I think our dog missed them when they left. We are already enticing them to come back again next year for another 6 weeks. Please! K and M Victoria, BC

Why we want to house sit
House sitting would afford us the opportunity to travel and discover new surroundings, people and cultures. Looking after a local property would make us feel less like tourists and more like locals. We will leave it cleaner than we find it.
