I'm an American linguist, originally from New York but now living in South Korea with my journalist husband Jon and our 3 year-old shih-tzu mix, Pokie! We're former Airbnb superhosts and love both hosting and traveling. Jon and I been to over 30 countries each and are quick to adapt to new surroundings. We're both language lovers, and between the two of us, we speak English, Spanish, French, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Indonesian, and American Sign Language!
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 pup! When we travel we miss our dog so much! We are both in full-on work mode, so we're less concerned with sight-seeing and definitely not into partying - we just want a quiet place to work with a dog curled up at our feet, ideally in a new location (maybe even where we can learn a bit of a new language!)
Our experience
My husband and I have both been active on Airbnb and before that, Couchsurfing, for about 10 years now, both as hosts and as travelers. We are nonsmokers and very respectful of property and privacy. In Seoul we've built a lovely community of friends with whom we trade dogsitting favors as we travel, so we've gotten to experience living with all kinds of dogs, too!

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!
