I'm from LA with Fine Art degrees from New York University, University College of London and UCLA. Elliot is from Minneapolis and Miami with a background in design and construction engineering.
We work remotely which gives us lots of geographic flexibility- Elliot is a casework design and manufacturing consultant and I'm an artist/designer and writer. We spend our time working, enjoying the outdoors (long walks, runs, yoga, scuba diving), and cooking. Elliot is an excellent cook; I am an excellent chopper and cleaner:).
We've spent lots of time in SE Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Macau). I was raised between the US and UK. We're also very familiar with Iceland, the UK, France, Italy and Malta.
We spend a good part of the year in the US (generally between Denver, Miami, LA, NYC, Minneapolis and Seattle) but, the majority of our year is spent on a small Mediterranean island off the coast of Malta called Gozo. We love it because it's gorgeous, quiet, friendly and the sea is turquoise!
Why we want to house sit
We love exploring new places and meeting new people. We end up being asked to house sit a lot and it's been a great experience.
We miss having pets and because we split time between Gozo and the States it's just not possible. House sitting gives us the opportunity to explore parks and hiking trails with a furry friend. Basically, it gives us a pet fix :).
Our experience
Elliot and I have lots of animal ownership experience- golden retrievers, huskies, spaniels, poodles, lots of horseback riding, a Cockatoo named Luna, 6 chickens etc.
We've lived in big cities (LA, NYC, London, Miami), the country (rural Minnesota, small towns in Iowa and Kansas) and mountains. We've both owned and built/ remodeled homes so we are very domestically capable and tidy.
I am admittedly a bit OCD about cleaning. Elliot always complains that I throw away and tidy his half consumed food or beverages. Whoops. Basically, your house will be tidy and in good order upon your return.
We've always been very diligent pet owners and we treat the animals we care for like our own. We're super active and really enjoy going for a walk or run.

I've used Kelly and Elliot several times for extended periods of time to watch our 2 dogs and cat at our home in Seattle. They are always fantastic. The animals are happy and well cared for- the dogs get lots of walks. Kelly sends me lots of pictures because she knows I miss them.

I trust them completely in our home. We have a 1800's Victorian home so, it's nice to know they have old house experience and know how to manage it's quirks. They are clearly mature and professional people. I'd happily refer them to friends and family.- Organised

Kelly & Elliot were fantastic. They took great care of my dog, Gretel. They communicated often with pics of Gretel on walks. My home looked spotless when I returned & the neighbors said they had been friendly & quiet. I would highly recommend them to anyone! Really nice people!
