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.

Wow, a fantastic, genuine, caring couple who we feel blessed to now call friends. Joe and Sue looked after our home and 5 furbabies for an entire month whilst we travelled in Asia from Ireland. We felt completely relaxed from first meeting Joe and Sue and it certainly made our adventure a thousand times more relaxed and enjoyable knowing our pets were looked after and in fact pampered so much by such a gorgeous couple. We were genuinely saddened when they left but I know in our hearts we will continue with a gorgeous friendship. I would recommend Joe and Sue highly knowing very well how loving and caring they are. 5 Stars and heaps more. x

Response from Susan & Joseph
Donna and Tom
Thanks so much for the great reference, especially since we'd same the same about you. I'll always remember, in the Skype call, you saying "I think you're us, just older"- says it all.
Be well

They arrived promptly as arranged, and were keen to fit into the routine and household arrangements in place. The house was beautifully clean and tidy when we returned, with fresh flowers in the vases. They had enjoyed good walks with our dog, and improved her retrieving skills! We would definitely use them again.

Sue and Joe were the most delightful couple who from the very outset were warm and friendly and took such care of my house and my two lurcher dogs. When I went away I felt very confident that they would not only love and tend my 2 dogs Alice and Kisu but they were also very particular to keep up with the times and habits of the dogs and even took the time to email and text message us with updates and photographs so I didn't worry at all. The dogs were happy and content. My house was spotless too and it was wonderful to come home to a warm and friendly homecoming and we even had a meal waiting! I could not recommend Joe and Sue more. They were truly lovely
