About Kenneth & Sharon

We’re a vital, mature, responsible couple who love animals and new adventures. In 2010, after living in our own Southwest Colorado home for over 20 years, we sold our home, and most of our possessions, and have been exploring new opportunities ever since.

We’re a vital, mature, responsible couple who love animals and new adventures. In 2010, after living in our own Southwest Colorado home for over 20 years, we sold our home, and most of our possessions, and have been exploring new opportunities ever since. Pet & housesitting has been a great way for us to bring our hearts to a home and animals while experiencing new communities.

As an ex-engineer and business owner Kenneth loves to make small repairs and keep things running smooth. Sharon brings her experience as a home creator, massage therapist and life coach to provide your home and animals with the highest level of care and attention.

From our own experience we know that the peace-of-mind that comes with having a reliable couple care for your pets and home can make a huge difference in the quality of your time away. We would love to make your home, our home for a while ,and give you the opportunity to move through your travels assured that your home and resident loved ones are safe and sound.

Why we want to house sit

Over the past few years we’ve found that caring for other people’s homes and pets satisfies the parts of us that thrive when we’re nurturing a home and sharing companionship with pets.

We love exploring new communities and new parts of the world for extended lengths of time. Housesitting is a great way for us to do that. It provides us with the opportunity to really live places; to explore, enjoy and deepen our experience of the local community, not only as a tourist, but as residents.

We appreciate the quality of value that is exchanged through TrustedHouseSitters. We're honored and delighted to have a temporary home to enjoy and animals to love while you're able to travel and know your pets and life back home are well taken care of.

Our experience

~ We’re conscientious, easy going, quiet, non-smokers who bring our hearts, experience and dependably to every one of our home and pet sitting commitments. We were home owners ourselves for over 30 years and both of us have had the responsibility and commitment of being business owners.

~ We renovated an old, dilapidated country homestead into a beautiful ranch estate. We’re use to the quirky idiosyncrasies many homes have. Kenneth is educated as a mechanical engineer and has a wide variety of experience in basic maintenance and repairs. He’s usually able to take care of any unforeseen household problems or needed repairs.

~ Sharon enjoys creating beautiful environments and experiences for the people and animals in her life. The animals we care for reap the benefits of her 30 years experience as a massage therapist. Currently she works remotely with clients as a life coach. She brings her loving attention and grace to every home we stay in.

~ We’ve been pet owners up until the time we embarked on our nomadic life. We’ve welcomed dogs and cats with an occasional hamster, fish or tortoises as part of our family. We also have experience with caring for horses, chickens and other domesticated animals.

~ We’ve diligently de-ticked tropical canines; de-skunked Rocky Mountain pooches; removed porcupine quills from too curious noses, given oral medication and subcutaneous injections.

~ We realize every animal has its own personality, needs and routine. We’ll be faithful to your pets’ routine, the “house rules”, diet, walks and other instructions.

~ We will arrange to meet you and your pets a day or two before you leave town so you and your animals have a chance to feel relaxed with us, and for us to learn all the practical details for our stay.

~ We’ll take care of the practical aspects of running your household … like picking up mail, moving your car on street cleaning days and putting out cans for trash collection, swimming pool maintenance, houseplant care along with basic gardening and yard tending. (We aren’t master gardeners but we managed to keep most of our houseplants alive and tended our own flower and veggie gardens… and we’re good at following directions)

~ While you’re away we’ll keep in touch by email, photos or Skype. Let us know what’s most comfortable for you. Some owners feel more relaxed with daily messages, others want the luxury of forgetting about home and only want to hear from us if there’s a problem or question.

~ We’re quite adaptable and enjoy diverse experiences. We’ve been happy housesitting in the middle of Los Angeles, in two Dominican Republic solar “off the grid" homes, on horse property in Colorado and on two small islands… one in Panama and one in New Zealand… and on the huge “island” called Australia.

~ We appreciate long term stays (2 months or longer) but are open to short term commitments when the location is convenient for us.

    We returned home yesterday to a house that was cleaner than we left it (and we DID leave a clean house for them!) and a dog who was well cared for and happy. Kenneth and Sharon went above and beyond for us, even leaving a nice meal for us so we didn't have to worry about cooking for the first couple of days back home. We especially appreciated the photos and videos of Bamboo they sent on an almost daily basis, along with progress reports about administering his medication and other pertinent issues. They kept our minds at ease and we felt we had left our precious dog in good hands. We'd have them again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Kenneth and Sharon!

    Oh my goodness! We feel so, so, so lucky to have had Sharon and Kenneth stay with our dog, Harbour. They by far exceeded our expectations. They are total naturals with animals and would bring a peaceful energy to any room. They showered Harbour with love and attention, and were super communicative with us. We felt so secure knowing that he was in good hands while we were an ocean away. We arrived home to a happy dog, a fantastically clean home, a thoughtful gift and a delicious meal prepared to boot! This was such a great experience for us and we can only hope that our next sitters are as wonderful. Anyone would be lucky to have them in their homes, caring for their pets or otherwise!

    Kenneth and Sharon are absolutely wonderful people. Resonsible, communicative, warm, and caring as if the house were their own. We live almost 4000 miles away from our winter home, annd they handled all of the unique features we have being off-grid and remote, all with ease. It was an absolute pleasure to know them, and to have them take such great care of everything from landscaping to car maintenance. These two could handle just about anything that comes their way, very intelligent and knowledgeable about many things. We would not hesitate to have them back in a heartbeat, and only wish that we could have them stay whenever we needed.
