About Jackie & Stephen

Now that Steve and I are both retired, we love to feed our passion for travel and exploration. We don't have pets of our own, so we long for the company of pets through others. We're both well-read, love good food and drink, and are always interested in meeting new people and visiting new places. We deeply appreciate the trust homeowners place in us in caring for their home and beloved pets in their absence and strive to put you at ease while you travel. You can learn more about us and view our own home on AirBnB.com. Just search"Boise" and we are listed under the title "Modern Comfort In the North End." We also both have a Facebook page; however, mine is listed under "Harriette Manning" (I don't want to be confused with Jackie A. Manning of Boise). We would love to answer any questions you may have, and can provide you with a wealth of positive references. Thank you for considering us.
Why we want to house sit
We love houses, and while ours is a dream, sometimes a change of scenery and venue can be refreshing. We also have a need to be around animals as miss being pet owners.
Our experience
Steve was a safety engineer, and I, a travel consultant. Since we take care of friends' and neighbors' pets while they're away, we can provide you with references. We have both owned pets in our lives (dogs and cats) and miss being around them. However, we want the freedom to travel in our retirement. We will make sure you return to a clean and welcoming home, with fresh sheets on the bed. We would also be happy to water any plants, indoor or out, as we are keen gardeners.

Jackie and Steve are the absolute BEST! We left our 16 year old tabby T-Bones, who was experiencing some health issues, and our 8 year old tabby, Pumpkin with them when we went on holiday to Europe. When we returned after 19 days, both were in excellent condition and we could see received caring and gentle care. Our home was lovingly attended to and cleaner than it was when we left!!! We have several trips planned in the future and will contact Jackie and Steve FIRST to see if they are available. Professional, Courteous and genuinely caring is how I would describe this dynamic duo.

Jackie and Steve were great housesitters. They were really happy to chat about about what was needed before coming to stay, which made initial arrangements extremely easy. They are very warm and friendly people who looked after our house and animals with great care. Our dog and cat were very happy and our chickens have never been so well looked after. We highly recommend them as housesitters and would welcome them back anytime.

Jackie and Steve did a great job with our two cocker spaniels, Lucy and Frances. They got lots of walks and the house was clean and tidy when we came home. I highly recommend them!
