Susan & Joseph
Friendly, Reliable Couple Ready to Care for Your Pets and Home
About Susan & Joseph
We are a happily retired couple from Connecticut in the US. Sue retired from a career in human resource management and Joe from one as a hospital administrator. We own our own home and love to travel. We are responsible, friendly and reliable and have traveled extensively in the US, Canada and Europe, with less frequent visits to South America...
We are a happily retired couple from Connecticut in the US. Sue retired from a career in human resource management and Joe from one as a hospital administrator. We own our own home and love to travel. We are responsible, friendly and reliable and have traveled extensively in the US, Canada and Europe, with less frequent visits to South America and Africa.
Why we want to house sit
We love to visit different locations and settle in, getting to know a community and its people. We would love the opportunity to extend and lengthen our experiences throughout the world.
Our experience
Just as we have stayed in rentals and made sure we left them as we found them, we are committed to treating your house and pets with care and respect. We own a home that is more than 100 years old and are very familiar with house maintenance and repairs. We lovingly maintain large gardens surrounding our house. We have one cat of our own and another cat visits us when his owners are traveling. We are the "go-to" couple in our neighborhood and friendship circles for taking care of pets when their owners are traveling. In past years we've been the parents of/owned a number of dogs and cats, including a beloved cat who lived to be over 20 years who required medications and a special diet during the last three years of her life. Sue has "shared" dogs with a neighborhood family for 28 years, including their present wonderful 3 year-old Golden Retriever. Our references reflect a three month stint in autumn 2015 where we house and pet sat for four different families in the UK. We loved meeting the homeowners and caring for their pets and homes, and our care and efforts are reflected in the references we received. We are so glad to have discovered this special niche of today's sharing economy and hope to experience many new housesitting friendships and adventures in the years to come.

Susan and Joe have continued to sit at various times for our 2 old dogs - one is very frail indeed - and our cat. We remain ever-grateful for their patience, kindness, and common sense care. They also leave the house spotless, the laundry done, and bed remade, along with fresh cut flowers to greet us on our return. We look forward to having them back again in the near future.

Joe came to stay with our pets and he took perfect care of everyone while we were gone. I really wish Joe well on his quest to become Canadian! He is a welcome addition to our country.

Susan and Joe are lovely people who took great care of our 2 senior dogs, and our boss cat. They left our house in good shape, and they handled with aplomb a nasty storm that caused a roof leak and a power outage! We were greeted by fresh flowers and a tranquil house on our return. We'd have them back again anytime.
