We are pet-loving house sitters who are originally from the state of Indiana in the United States.

We are pet-loving house sitters who are originally from the state of Indiana in the United States. Raychelle, my beautiful wife, is a pharmacist and I am her loving husband, Chris, who works in insurance sales; we both occasionally do some online adjunct teaching, too. We both have volunteered through a program called Indy Reads to help Indianapolis residents earn their high school diplomas – simply put, we love to teach and help others grow!
Raychelle and I love house sitting (of course, right!) and caring for animals! We love to travel, meet new people, experience new cultures, and hang out with our friends and family. In our spare time we visit restaurants, breweries, and wineries, read books, watch movies, and ride bicycles and motorcycles.
Our Story:
In 2004 we met through a mutual friend while in college. Over a decade later we are best friends and grow more in love every day. ☺
Why we want to house sit
House sitting is the perfect way of life for us. For the last five years we have been planning on moving abroad and exploring different cultures. When we do travel, we love to explore the area at a deeper level, which allows us to connect with the local culture and people. House sitting allows us to travel to new and diverse places while still having the feeling of home. We get to know homeowners and their cherished pets while living in a new and exciting locale.
Who could wish for more than that?!?!
Our experience
Both of us grew up in small Indiana towns in the United States. We worked hard in our youth doing farm work, house cleaning, and babysitting - for pets and children.
Chris has experience with feeding livestock including cows, goats, donkeys, horses, chickens, and sheep. He has performed farm tasks such as bailing hay and straw, cleaning barn stalls, harvesting Christmas trees, and driving tractors and other equipment. He is able to operate chainsaws, lawn mowers, and weed eaters; utilize gardening equipment such as rakes, hoes, and tillers; and perform general handyman maintenance on household items.
Raychelle’s father is a veterinarian in the state of Arizona in the United States; so growing up she spent a lot of time helping him with cats, dogs, and other household pets. Her close relationship with her father has been useful during housesitting stays when a veterinary question arises. She is a medical professional in the field of pharmacy and is CPR certified.
We have cared for clients with a large saltwater fish tank containing fish, crabs, shrimps, and other creatures, too. We are less familiar with housesitting for livestock; however, Chris worked with livestock during his childhood and is
We both value a clean home and well-kept grounds as we, ourselves used to be Airbnb hosts! (Please see attached Airbnb reviews.) We’ve now sold our home and no longer run an Airbnb but we understand how to wow guests with a clean, safe, and inviting environment. We value homeowners’ property and mind their house rules, just as we have expected of our guests to do during our time running our Airbnb. As hoteliers, we especially appreciate when guests keep their word when scheduling their stay with us, so naturally when we make a commitment to housesit, we commit fully to it. We want to build great relationships with homeowners for whom we housesit, earn fantastic reviews, and be invited to stay again.
We both have successfully maintained gardens including beautiful flowers, fruits, and vegetables.
We love animals! As a young girl Raychelle dreamt of being a marine biologist and her hero was Jacques Cousteau. While that dream never came true, she scratches that itch by snorkeling every chance she gets. The veterinary calls she went on with her father fortified her love for animals. As a married couple, we have found that cats are our favorites, because we love their unique personalities and attitudes.

I would like to refer both Chris and Raychelle to homeowners looking for caring, responsible, trustworthy home sitters and pet sitters. As vice president of a college in Indiana, I had to pleasure of supervising Chris when he worked as a full-time employee, and his wife, Raychelle worked as an adjunct instructor there, too. Chris went the extra mile to ensure students had what they needed to succeed and he was known throughout the office for his kindness and willingness to help. He often would make popcorn or put on campus events, including commencement ceremonies. He is detail oriented and always made sure these events both looked great and that the venue was properly cleaned and tidy once complete. Raychelle's student surveys always came back with impressive scores and she was always a pleasure to speak with while on campus. I would gladly hire Chris (and Raychelle) again, and would trust them to watch my home -- and my two dogs -- when on holiday.
