About Kathleen & Gerard
We are an academic librarian and a high school teacher, and we like to travel during school vacations. We are looking to care for apartments, houses, pets and gardens and are willing to consider many locations. We have homes-sitting experience in the U.S. and Europe and have received high marks for our work.

We are an academic librarian and a high school teacher, and we like to travel during school vacations. We are looking to care for apartments, houses, pets and gardens and are willing to consider many locations. We have homes-sitting experience in the U.S. and Europe and have received high marks for our work.
At the moment, we are open to assignments for the end of December 2018.
Why we want to house sit
We enjoy traveling and prefer to "live" in a place rather than be tourists and have found house sitting a great way to get to know a new place. We love caring for pets and enjoy making new animal friends around the world.
Our experience
We are very friendly, responsible, conscientious and non-smoking, and we love all living creatures as well as inanimate objects and spaces requiring loving care. We have also cared for ailing and elderly pets requiring special medical needs. Except for your happy and well-cared for pets, there will be no trace of us in your home after we leave.

It is very difficult to go away and leave your pets, but we were made to feel relaxed and comfortable leaving them in Kathleen & Gerards care.
Fantastic, caring, comfortable, reliable are just a few words to describe this lovely couple.- Organised

Response from Kathleen & Gerard
We had a wonderful time caring for your beautiful home and your incredibly lovable animals! It was the perfect, relaxing and picturesque location. Sam, Kevin and Evie were all so warm and welcoming - it was a pleasure to get to spend a little time with them on either end. This is a highly recommended sit! We are grateful for the opportunity. Bisoux a tous!

While I didn't have the chance to meet Kathleen and Gerard personally, my husband said they did a fantastic job caring for our chickens, guineas and the house. A pleasure to have them and would welcome them back. They kept in touch and it sounded like they really enjoyed the country life.

We really could not have had better house sitters than Kathleen and Gerard. They are a tribute to "Trusted Housesitters". Our pets, dog, cat and five chickens were beautifully cared for, as was our house, which was left spotless on our return with very happy pets. Warm and charming, Kathleen also updated us on our animals' welfare and mood whilst we were away. We cannot recommend Kathleen and Gerard too highly!

Response from Kathleen & Gerard
Likewise, we could not have had a better house sit! Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home with your lovable animals. It was a bonus to get to meet your whole family and spend a little time together. We had a wonderful time from the very beginning and are grateful for the experience.
