We are a family of four living in Portland Oregon. We love to travel and hike. For many years we had cats (four). Now we have two dogs, a Great Pyr mix and a miniature Schnauzer. We are responsible dog owners, committed to affection and exercise.
Gina is a Professor of Spanish; Mike is an IT executive. Our daughter Lena is a singer and an artist; our son Rafael is a soccer player. Both kids are responsible, care for and love animals
Why we want to house sit
We love to travel and discover new places...often off the regular tourist routes. In our travels, we enjoy meeting animals. Often our travel-lust is bigger than our budget. Trusted housesitters is a great solution for our desire for contact with animals, our appreciation for lodging off the beaten track, and our interest in exploring regions we might not normally know about.
Our experience
We have cared for the pets of friends many times: in Portland, Spain, and France--although we have never had the opportunity to do a formal house sit like the program offered by Trusted Housesitters. We had given medications to sick dogs and cats; we are committed to exercising dogs, caring for older less active animals, providing play and affection.
We can offer references from our own dog sitter, friends we have pet sit for, our vet and our dog trainer.

I have had Gina care for my 2 cats and border collie mix on multiple occasions. She is wonderful. Smart, thoughtful, and deeply empathetic to all animals. I know that my home and pets will be treated with care and respect with Gina. With two dogs of her own, Gina understands the needs of our four legged friends and is excellent at following directions for any special needs. My dog loves to visit her at her house too as he (Rocket) enjoys her long walks and frequent praise. Gina is warm, reliable, and very neat. I feel fortunate to know her.

I met Gina and Mike about 2 years ago when I began pet and house sitting. They are a very tidy and organized family. I love that they have cleaners come every week, even though I like to “leave no footprint”. Of course their two dogs are the sweetest ever and live in a very happy and healthy environment. I would recommend them to take care of your home and pets any day!
