We love nature, being outside, open roads, and secondary highways that lead somewhere new. We travel to see places the way neighbors do — not tourists — and we're drawn to people with heart.

favoriteWhy we love house sitting

For us, housesitting is built on mutual appreciation. Caring for someone's home and the things they love is a sacred trust, and we take that seriously. These assignments connect us to communities across Canada and remind us why we do this work.

We're Bonnie and Cyril — reliable, conscientious live-in house and pet sitters available year round, and we specialize in rural and remote locations, primarily across Alberta.

With 15+ years of experience, a long list of repeat clients, and testimonials to match, we bring genuine expertise to northern and rural living: wood heat, well water, septic systems, and property maintenance in every season.

We're Bonnie and Cyril — reliable, conscientious live-in house and pet sitters available year round, and we specialize in rural and remote locations, primarily across Alberta.

With 15+ years of experience, a long list of repeat clients, and testimonials to match, we bring genuine expertise to northern and rural living: wood heat, well water, septic systems, and property maintenance in every season. When we're in your home, your property and your animals have our full attention and companionship, every day.

Here's how we work: Bonnie works remotely, so she's on-site and present throughout each sit. Cyril takes the lead on all animal and property responsibilities. That division means nothing gets overlooked.

We enjoy long-term winter assignments, typically four to six months and have more flexibility in summer, with sits starting at a couple of weeks or longer.

We'd love to hear from you if this feels like a good fit. If you'd like to see more photos and testimonials, just ask and we'll send you our website link.

What we need in a housesit:
Reliable cell reception and internet
Clean, comfortable accommodation for two

Your peace of mind is our top priority. You can count on it.

We are so grateful that Bonnie and Cyril were able to house sit! They are both incredibly friendly and absolutely reliable. Great communication before the house sit took place and while we were away. Regular photos and updates were provided which was reassuring. We knew our dog, Oscar was in good hands and could see via the photos that he just loved them :) The house was clean and in great shape upon our return. It was a wonderful feeling knowing our house and pet were in such good ... MoreWe are so grateful that Bonnie and Cyril were able to house sit!

Thank you to Bonnie and Cyril! They took wonderful care of my critters. And my old doggie was unfortunately had a couple of bouts with diarrhea and they dealt with it, no signs of the messy my dog made. Thank you again
