We are an animal-loving family of 5 from Idaho, USA, who are traveling long-term. We are Kendra (mom), John (dad), and kids (ages 11, 8, 5). We’ve sold our home and almost everything we own to free us up for new experiences! We began our journey in Guatemala at a language school homestay, and are available for sits worldwide. House and pet sitting has been a great experience—it has really helped ease our sorrows at having to leave our pets with Grandma while we travel.
Why we want to house sit
In order to embark on our long-term family travel adventure, we had to leave our beloved Paisley (dog) and Bruce Wayne (cat) with grandma. While we know they are doted upon and adored, it was difficult for us to say good-bye. Our children have never known a time when we did not count animals among our family members. We would love the opportunity to care for and develop relationships with other animal-lovers and their animals around the world!
Traveling with children has its challenges, and food is often a big one. We prefer to stay in places with kitchens so that we can cook the majority of our meals. It means that we can feed the kids when they're hungry, and it saves us a lot of money! Housesitting allows us to stay in places with furnished kitchens.
Of course, budget is also a big consideration, especially with 5 of us. Housesitting allows us to explore new places without the financial burden of paying for accommodations.
We would love the opportunity to care for your home and your animal family!
Our experience
As a child, Kendra's family pets included cats, dogs, horses, rats, gerbils, and fish. John's childhood family pets included cats and dogs; he grew up in a rural area, where he rode friends' horses regularly.
As a family, we have had the pleasure of counting dogs, cats, chickens, fish, and a bearded dragon among our family members! We have house and pet-sat for cats, dogs big and small, a snake, and fish. We regularly house and pet-sit for cats. We have also been the foster family for kittens for months at a time, until they were big enough to find their forever homes; it was so hard to say good-bye, but we loved seeing them grow and develop and find their forever people.

We're so grateful to this family for taking such good care of our home and pets while we were away for two weeks! Kendra did a fabulous job of communicating prior to our trip so I was very confident that she was detail-oriented and nothing would fall through the cracks. We returned to very happy pets, well-tended plants and lawn, and a spotless home. Would love to have this very responsible family back again and definitely would highly recommend them as home/petsitters.

Kendra and her family did a great job with our house and pets. The animals were happy and our neighbors remarked on how often they saw them out walking. The best part was that the house was spotless when we returned from our trip. The really were perfect sitters and I would highly recommend them!

Kendra frequently watches our house and two cats when we’re away. She always makes sure the food and water bowls are full, and she isn’t squeamish about cleaning up the litter box or occasional kitty vomit (yuck!). Her kids are kind to our affectionate cat, and respectful of our scaredy-cat’s need to keep his distance.
