Our experience

10+ years

I've been the happy human to a rescued Doberman, and partner to a Border Collie's human. Many cats, birds, and fish have made their homes with me too. Happy to extend my care to farm animals.

Karen and her lovely mother Ann sat for us for a portion of our 1-week late summer trip. They arrived the night before we departed, leaving us plenty of time

Karen is a gem of a person - you are unlikely to find a more caring, gentle and also responsible pet sitter! Karen and I taught together for many years, and on two occasions, she stayed at my house in Mexico City to care for my darling cat, Caracola. With Karen, I felt calm during my time away knowing that Caracola would be in excellent hands. She also took great care of my many plants, and the house was perfectly tidy when I returned. I recommend Karen to the highest degree!! She's a great person and your pets will thank you!! :)

Why we want to house sit

I love new places, and that includes seeing others' homes and cities and towns. I'm a veteran Airbnb user, and the only thing missing from those visits into someone's home has been the pets! I'm a big animal lover, and will enjoy spoiling
