We are a married couple and love travelling together. We are so grateful that we can mix our passion for animals and adventure with this site!
About Brooke & Steven
Steven and I love to travel. We have ESL teaching jobs that allows us to do so whenever we want as long as we have good internet and a place to stay! We are also able to take as much time off as we want and have a great financial ability to do that as well! We do not like debt!

Steven and I love to travel. We have ESL teaching jobs that allows us to do so whenever we want as long as we have good internet and a place to stay! We are also able to take as much time off as we want and have a great financial ability to do that as well! We do not like debt! The hours available for our ESL jobs that we can choose from a week prior are early morning and nights starting at 8:30pm EST. And so we are very flexible with times and can arrange our schedules according to your animals' needs.
We are both animal lovers. We love all types of animals and we are passionate about the sharing economy. Exchanging needs when possible without the need for currency is so powerful! With this comes great responsibility and we are commited to doing our very best with the oppertunities.
We know from experience, the price of pet sitters added onto travel expenses can put our love for animals and our love for travel in conflict. I think this site is changing that for many people. We love the idea that we can help others to have the life they desire, while also gaining a wonderful experience taking care of your home and pet and exploring your hometown!
Why we want to house sit
We love to travel. We can travel more when we can save money on accommodations. Most of all, we love making new animal friends. We have hosted couchsurfers and housesitters in our home when we leave as well. If our space is available, we love the idea of helping someone else out who can use it! And there is so much beauty in Michigan to be explored and we love to share that with others.
Our experience
We have had two petsitting adventures so far on trusted housesitters.com. we absolutely love this site! One was an amazing month long trip to Vancouver. We have a lot of experience watching cats and dogs through the Rover site out of our home, and helping friends out who were travelling for long periods. Wehave experience with chickens, which we had at our house in the past. We are regular pet sitters and dog walkers in our home city.
Brooke has a minimal experience with horses as she attended horse camp as a kid. We will be sitting for a horse and donkey for a week for a horse and donkey this fall so we will havemore experience soon!

They had the responsibility of taking care of two horses, one donkey, two cats and one dog.
Right from the beginning I felt very comfortable leaving my animals with Brooke and Steve. They sent us daily pictures and updates of them. They were very good about taking my dog on her daily hikes.
The drove all the way from Michigan to Colorado to do this house sit and they were not a minute late. Their communication was excellent from start to finish.
While their stay here, they endured an unexpected snow storm. They were very good about deicing the horse trough and making sure they had enough water. We were very thankful that they had shovel the walkway, deck and pathway to barn.
They animals were well taken care and so was our home. We came home to a clean and tidy home.
Brooke and Steve are a young energetic, kind and caring people. As you can see we highly recommend them to house sit for you.- Organised

Brooke and Steve took care of our home and two doggies for two weeks while we were on the other side of the planet -- in New Zealand! The idea of being that far away from home for that length of time was a concern for my wife and myself, but Brooke and Steve eased our fears by their responsible contact with us, both before and during our trip. They were a great fit for our lifestyle. We live in a rural mountainous area, with lots of trails and walking opportunities. Brooke and Steve are young and fit, and they walked -- not just on our property, but also on nearby National Forest land. They brought their dog Gaia with them, and she turned out to be a great playmate for our Lucy. Brooke's and Steve's daily messaging was very reassuring during our time away. They shared photos or stories, and that communication allowed us to enjoy our time away. Brooke and Steve teach English to Chinese children, and needed a good internet system to continue their work while they were house sitting and pet sitting for us. They had no problems with our system. My wife and I returned home after a long last day -- twenty-five continuous hours of airport and flying times -- to find happy dogs and a clean, well-maintained house. Brooke and Steve are excellent representatives of the Trusted House Sitters group. We highly recommend them.

Brooke and Steve were great house sitters. They had a tough assignment with Smalls. Smalls was diagnosed with arthritis and some back issues four days before their sit. They had to deal with giving Smalls his new meds, which he was not always agreeable to. I know this stressed them as they are very pet caring. I will happily have them again to sit with my persnickety pet. In fact, Smalls was wondering about the house looking for them after they were gone.
