Responsible Pet Loving Family Traveling the World
About Chris & Alina
After selling our successful marketing agency, house, car and most of our stuff, myself, my wife and our 3 1/2 year old daughter Sofia are traveling the world! We believe house and petsitting is a great way to live local and accomplish all of our travel goals while helping people take care of and protect their pets and home.
After selling our successful marketing agency, house, car and most of our stuff, myself, my wife and our 3 1/2 year old daughter Sofia are traveling the world! We believe house and petsitting is a great way to live local and accomplish all of our travel goals while helping people take care of and protect their pets and home.
Why we want to house sit
We sold everything because we unfortunately found out the hard way how short life can be. We unexpectedly lost a close friend at the age of 37 and then a few short months later, Alina unfortunately lost her father to pancreatic cancer at only 61 years old. These 2 tragedies pushed us to go checkoff our bucket list items and grow together as a family while traveling the world and hopefully spread our message of "live your dreams now" to others!
We are very well travelled - Alina and I have been to 20 countries together in almost 12 years of marriage, and little Sofia has already been to 10 countries herself! We are a fun loving and very responsible family that you can trust. We are financially stable, do not smoke or take drugs, are well educated and truly want to do this as an experience and will respect your house and pets as we would our own.
As a former CEO I can guarantee your house and the care of your pet(s) will run like a well oiled machine. Alina also has an MBA and besides being loving and caring, is very smart and resourceful. Finally, little Sofia is the apple of both of our eyes and LOVES animals and is very comfortable around them.
So if you are looking for the perfect sitters, you found them! We look forward to helping you soon.
Our experience
We currently have 2 5-star reviews from Trustedhousesitters and have a number of upcoming sits scheduled. In addition, my wife and I have owned and ran a top tier marketing agency for the last 7 years so we know customer service and exceeding expectations! Both of us are animal lovers, especially dogs and cats and have owned them our entire lives. We own real estate and have had rentals previously, so we understand the serious nature of entrusting someone with your home and pets (which are family members).

Well how lucky were we to have Chris Alina and Sofia come stay with our fur babies and look after our house and garden. Our cats were obviously very happy with their sitters and so were our other visiting wildlife. The kookaburras even paid a visit to say goodbye. And what a beautiful meal to return home to after a day’s travel. Thank you so much for that Alina. We can thoroughly recommend this family if you want your pets, home and yard to be cared for in the same way you would yourself. We were kept updated with photos while we were away and could see they were being well cared for and had lots of cuddles.

Look no further if you are wanting reliable, kind and caring house sitters. We highly recommend Chris, Alina and little Sofia. They took great care of our animals and left the house immaculate. Little Sofia even baked and left us muffins. I must also mention that they were very flexible when I had mistakenly only booked them for 4 nights instead of 5. I can’t thank them enough for their understanding. Chris, Alina and Sofia I hope are loving their time in Australia.

I worked as a graphic designer for Chris for the last 2 years and know you can’t get a better person dedicated to customer service and success! We are going to miss Chris at the office but are excited to hear about the travel stories to come.

Chris is an intelligent, capable, dedicated, and very personable person. He is always quick on his feet, with a sensible and controlled reactions in all the circumstances I've seen him in. I feel confident in saying that he is capable of handling any situation with thoughtfulness and integrity.
