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 house and pet-sitting experience in the U.S. and Europe and have received high marks for our work.

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.

If you are considering Kathleen and Gerard for house/pet sitting, look no further! We left our 7 pets (cats, dogs, turtle) in their care for a week and could not have been more pleased. Kathleen and Gerard committed to the sit way in advance of our travel dates and communicated well from that date until we arrived home. It was reassuring to know that they had become buddies with all of our animals as sometimes our pets can be a little skittish with strangers. Not the case here! Kathleen and Gerard are true animal lovers! Besides the pet care, we came home to a perfectly neat and tidy home; the mail was sorted and even the fridge was organized....Who does that??!! If you choose Kathleen and Gerard for a house sit, I can assure you with confidence that you will be very happy with your choice. Happy travels.

Response from Kathleen & Gerard
It was a true pleasure to spend time in your beautiful home with those seven adorable pets. They were very easy to take care of - and to love! They were all very companionable and well-behaved and obviously very loved. It was a wonderfully peaceful home and a pretty town to spend a week. We didn't even need a car to enjoy the area and get to what we needed. I highly recommend this sit. Thank you for the opportunity!

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.
