Frida managed a college art library for over 12 years in Santa Monica, California. Currently, she is enjoying a work-free lifestyle as she maps out her next career direction. Perre is a user experience designer. We both met in Berkeley, California over twenty years ago.
Both Frida & Perre are animal lovers. In particular, we have a lot of experience with cats. Perre wrote a humorous book called “Kick Litter” about training two of our cats to use the human toilet.

Fun Fact - We were featured in a Wall Street Journal article for using Netflix as a cheap way to workout at home: https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB123984558896723563
Why we want to house sit
We both enjoy traveling and we prefer to stay in a home/apartment over a hotel because it allows us to get a better feel for the place we are visiting. It is also nice to have access to a kitchen where we can fix a quick meal or make a hot beverage. Spending time with, and caring for, pets makes the experience even more enriching.
Our experience
Without a doubt, we are animal lovers. Frida used to volunteer twice a week at an animal shelter in San Francisco where she learned to comfort and nurture animals with all kinds of unique personalities and preferences. She enjoyed finding out what type of play, petting, grooming and general attention brought each of them the most happiness. Frida also volunteered in Los Angeles at a dog shelter where she walked dogs before they got adopted. We both grew up with dogs and cats and over the years we have helped my mom take care of her two dogs, Forbes and Forest. One is a shy Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the other is an outgoing, happy-go-lucky Pyrenean Shepherd.
Frida and Perre have a lot of experience housesitting for friends and taking care of their pets. Frida also worked at a Bed and Breakfast for several years where she honed her meticulous cleaning techniques. This is a useful skill when staying in other people’s houses because we enjoy leaving the place nicer than when we arrived. We know how fantastic it feels to arrive to a clean home after a vacation!
We have also stayed at lots of Airbnbs and gotten great reviews that describe us as trustworthy, friendly, communicative, clean, respectful, fun and interesting.

It was great to have Frida and Perre again as catsitters! Our cat Dobro was cared for very well and they took really good care of the house. We were happy to have this responsible couple to watch over our cat and our house again. We received several email updates with pictures, showing a happy cat and also, Frida was so kind and attentive to contact the cleaning lady when she didn't show up, to make another appointment with her as she wanted to make sure we would arrive in clean house. We highly appreciate Frida's thoughtfulness! For our next vacation, we will be sure to ask them again as Dobro's catsitters!

It was a great trustedhoussitters experience to have Friday & Perre cat-sit for us when we were away. Frida was super organised and reliable, as well as flexible. She was very easy to get in touch with, and kept us in the loop with how Truman was doing the entire time they were with him. We came home to the happiest cat, and a very tidy and clean flat.
We'd definitely love to have Friday and Perre over to look after Truman again!- Organised

It was a pleasure having Frida around. She kept me updated with lovely cat pictures and left the house absolutely spotless (and very happy cats)! I really recommend her!
