About Nadia & Eoin
We are a couple of animal-loving lawyers from Ireland and Singapore, respectively who love to travel. We have just moved to the States from Singapore after spending a year in between travelling around the world whilst working remotely.

Why we want to house sit
When we travel we like to try to just live in a place like a local and soak up life at a quiet pace rather than doing the tourist thing. This is why living in a house in an unfamiliar location where we get to care for a pet as part of a daily routine appeals to us. When we travel we usually need to work remotely so a strong wifi signal is crucial wherever we stay.
Our experience
We grew up with pet cats, with which we have lots of experience, and briefly, rabbits (eventually the cats got them). Always wanted a dog but our parents wouldn't allow it and when we became adults we were too busy and living in a tiny apartment in a big city with hectic work schedules so it wouldn't have been fair to get a dog, as much as we would love one. We always try to get as much face time as we can with our friends' dogs instead and also volunteered at a dog shelter for strays in Singapore to satisfy this urge. Dogsitting around the world would be another great way to help satisfy this urge until such time as our lifestyles settle down enough so that we can get our own dog.

Nadia and Eoin were a delight to have as dog/house sitters. They were professional, caring and reliable towards our two dogs and in looking after our home, but were also a pleasure to spend some time with. Nadia kept in touch before the sit and they arrived exactly as planned. On our return, we had two calm, happy dogs; two calm, happy sitters and two calm, happy owners! Would highly recommend them; a lovely couple.

Response from Nadia & Eoin
This was such a wonderful experience. Fanny and Lola were both such lovely company. They are very affectionate and well-behaved dogs and love their walks. Ruth and her husband were also lovely and even had dinner ready for us when we arrived! The house was beautifully appointed and had everything we needed including fast wi-fi and a widescreen TV. The area was a charming rural area with very few people around - you could count on one hand the number of cars that passed in a day. There were lots of scenic routes to bring the dogs out for walks on. You would definitely need a car to get there, but once there, you won't want to leave! Thanks for having us guys!

I have known Nadia and Eoin for a number of years as friends and housemates. They are a great couple and were a joy to live with for over a year; they are considerate, tidy, fun and helpful. I can’t recommend them highly enough as people and housemates.

Eoin and Nadia are both staunch dog lovers. They have volunteered in OSCAS animal welfare section helping with the feeding, cleaning of the kennels, bathing and walking the dogs. They are both very responsible in their commitment to help dogs and show a lot of affection and compassion for the rescued strays. They are both lawyers and on occasions do provide us with pro bono advice.

I have known Eoin and Nadia for many years and have always found them reliable, punctual and honest. They both have a good sense of humour and love children and animals. They are both extremely resourceful and I wouldn't hesitate to have them look after my home and my pets.

Eoin and Nadia are both lovely people and I was fortunate enough to have shared a condominium with them in the past. They are both responsible and friendly and are a trust worthy couple.

I know both Eoin and Nadia and have known them for more almost eight years now.
They can certainly be trusted to look after any property they stay in and they will do so well.I know both Eoin and Nadia and have known them for more almost eight years now.
