55, Retired

We are retired couple. We like to travel, hike, scuba dive, ski & explore nature. Foodies & Fun! Angela likes to cook, Mike likes to hike and we both love to have new experiences in new places.

favoriteWhy we love house sitting

We enjoy immersing in other places when we travel, We are calm, friendly, like meeting neighbors, walking for miles and trying new things.
I enjoy a clean and tidy home and some private reading spaces. Mike can tinker and fix things if needed. We are both handy around the house.

We are experienced with pets and have house sat and helped look after friends air bnb while they were away and friends dogs. We are both used to cats, fish, reptiles, horses, donkeys and pretty much any animal.

We are clean, organized, enjoy exercise ... Read more

We are clean, organized, enjoy exercise and travel. We have a beautiful home with four bedrooms and a lovely garden and hot tub in the back yard that backs onto miles of walking/hiking trails. We are a short walking distance from grocery stores, hospital, and anything you may need. We also have peddle bikes for use.

Pet care

I have mostly looked after friends pets as needed. We are very comfortable with pets and love animals. Especially those with quirky attitudes lol. I have owned dogs and cats all my life and have had my kids grow up with all kinds of animals and also volunteer on farms when they were young.

We enjoy going south for the winters and prefer Canadian sits from May-November any duration. We prefer longer sits (3 weeks +) if we fly and if local in BC, sometimes we may bring our well behaved non shedding dog.

House Security

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
