About Suzanna and dale & Dale
We are a professional couple in our 50's and we love to travel! Dale spent over 20 years in the U.S. Navy and loved seeing the world. He rode his bicycle all over the Mediterranean.

We are a professional couple in our 50's and we love to travel! Dale spent over 20 years in the U.S. Navy and loved seeing the world. He rode his bicycle all over the Mediterranean. We spent 6 years living in Spain and Italy and traveled extensively with our 4 children. Suzanna was an army brat and spent much of her youth living in Germany and traveling around Europe. Our four children are grown now but we are lucky enough to have our youngest one living at home so we have a built in pet sitter for the moment! We have two lovely dogs, a standard poodle, Juno, and a mini schnauzer, Henry. We love traveling in Europe but are open to all destinations.
Why we want to house sit
We enjoy traveling but prefer to stay in one spot and get to know the local area and the locals! We always prefer to stay in a home or apartment so we really get a feel for the place and a chance to live like the locals. We love pets and miss ours greatly when traveling. Having no cost accomodations will allow us to travel much more than our current 1 or 2 months a year. We are open to the possibility of a working vacation. In addition to caring for your pets, we can offer our services with home organization, redesign, and minor repairs.
Our experience
We are home owners ourselves and have lots of experience with home maintenance. We have our own business, Confusion to Order, providing home organizing and handyman services. Our business is all about caring for homes! We specialize in home makeovers, home staging, room redesign, and assisting our clients with relocation. We also maintain vacation homes as part of our business, so have lots of experience dealing with any issues that may arise. Please have a look at our website to see what our clients have to say about us.
We are well seasoned world travelers and experienced home ex-changers. We have excellent references from our clients, fellow home exchanges and Airbnb owners we've rented from.
We have been caring for pets all our lives and are dependable and reliable people.
WHAT AIRBNB HOSTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT US:
Martha Patricia, Toledo Spain November 2014
For us it was really a pleasure to have met this lovely couple, very communicative, friendly and polite. They took care of our house, thank you very much for everything. Hope to see you again. We highly recommend them!
What else can I say about Suzanna and Dale except what an absolute joy they were to be around. It is having guests like them that make our lives as Airbnb hosts so enjoyable. We loved hosting them at our apartment in Barcelona and can't wait for them to come back across the waters for more Spanish adventures. Communications were excellent before, during and after their stay, and they looked after our home as if it were their own. We would host them again without a second's thought and recommend them to all other airbnb hosts!
Sarah, Barcelona 2013
Wonderful guests, polite and friendly, left the cottage very clean and tidy, and excellent communication - would highly recommend to any host.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT US:
have worked with Suzanna many times over the years. From the start, Suzanna has been professional, prompt, and reliable! She works WITH me...never pushes or pulls beyond my comfort level. I can truly say that she has made a VERY positive difference in our lives. Whether maintaining or downsizing, Suzanna has been there. She has our highest recommendation!
Anne S., Bainbridge Island
I am grateful everyday for the time I spent with Suzanna. Her cheerful counsel, her incredible work ethic, and her professional skills helped me clear out clutter and organize my life. But more importantly, she empowered me to continue on my own. I look at many things now with her eyes and insight, which has made all the difference.
Elizabeth S., Bainbridge Island
Suzanne is the most talented organizer I have worked with. She whipped my kitchen, family room and closets into shape quickly, efficiently and with a sunny smile!I would recommend her to anyone who is feeling cluttered or who is even just looking to freshen up their home!
Dinah Manoff Mortell, Bainbridge Island
My husband and I were incredibly fortunate to have Confusion to Order recommended to us by our Sotheby's agent, Kristi Nelson. Our move from Seattle into our new Bainbridge Island home went so smoothly. What would have taken us weeks took them three days! And at the end of day one, they had all boxes unpacked and the debris removed by moving company. They didn't leave until our bed was assembled and freshly made, the coffee pot was set up for the morning, the bathrooms had towels in place and all items we would need immediately were neatly organized. They are really nice people and listen to your priorities and concerns. My husband and I have continued to use their services to keep us organized and cannot recommend them highly enough. They are real pros.
Brian and Katherine, Bainbridge Island
"I have used Suzanne Miller's services for almost 2 years now and I'm happy to say that she has had a very positive impact on my quality of life.
The days that Suzanne and her crew come to my house are the days I look forward to most. She has organized my house top to bottom and she has
helped me "edit" quite a lot. She has a real eye for detail. I would highly recommend her for de-cluttering, organizing, packing/unpacking for
a move, and home staging. She's an A+."
Bridget Young, Indianola
I live in New Jersey and use my Bainbridge Island house for various lengths of time during the year. I don't think I would be able to do this without Suzanna and her troop of elves who cater to my every whim. They usually figure out whatever has to be done in my home before I ever know about it. They are my alarm bells for all kinds of problems such as leaks, fallen trees, etc. and the house is always spotless and perfectly organized. You could not find a better, more trust worthy group of people to enhance your life in every way. ***** ( five stars)
Martha Grossman, Bainbridge Island/NJ
We had a studio apartment that was being underutilized as a work out and craft area. Neither my husband nor I could figure out what to do with the space to make it more functional and attractive so I flew Suzanna to the Bay Area. She went through all my craft supplies (no easy feat), measured and made a list of what was needed and off we went off to IKEA. With her help not only was our apartment transformed, but my closets and junk drawers were too, all in 3 days! Suzanna not only worked tirelessly, but she is a joy to work with. She has an uncanny ability to help you let go of what's no longer needed, and have you see the potential of what you all ready have. She gently guides you to make a fresh start and leaves you with the tools to sustain it.
Patrice P, Point Reyes Station CA
We recently moved to Bainbridge Island and Suzanna’s company Confusion to Order was a complete lifesaver! Not only did they jump right in to help, they were exceedingly flexible, self- directed and pleasant! If not for them I think we would have been still be unpacking three weeks later but instead our home looked wonderful when they'd finished working their magic. They generously provided me with invaluable local information and recommendations. For service, professional knowledge, reasonable pricing options and a positive attitude, look no further. I highly recommend Confusion to Order and would hire them again in a heartbeat!
