favoriteWhy I love house sitting

Spending time with pets and helping each other out.

Thank you for considering me to care for your pet family and your home!

I am a retired 56 year old Canadian with lifelong experience caring for pets, animals, properties, and humans! In my career life I have held Canadian Security Clearances-Enhanced Reliability and above, Criminal Record Checks including Vulnerable Sector Clearance, and held management-keyholder positions for large scale Greenhouse-Horticulture operations (ornamental-vegetable-bedding plants).

I am a retired 56 year old Canadian with lifelong experience caring for pets, animals, properties, and humans! In my career life I have held Canadian Security Clearances-Enhanced Reliability and above, Criminal Record Checks including Vulnerable Sector Clearance, and held management-keyholder positions for large scale Greenhouse-Horticulture operations (ornamental-vegetable-bedding plants).

I have been slow traveling the world full-time for the past 3 years and I have circumnavigated the globe twice! The first time I departed Canada heading West and arrived back home from the East was the realization of a dream I've had since my teenage years: Around the World in 80 Days! In my journeys I have met many people and I have learned many things about others and myself. I have taken care of homes and pet family members in Holland and the UK and had many great experiences.

I hope I can help you to realize your travel dreams knowing your home and pet family are in capable hands and a caring heart.

I worked for a hog farmer in Abbotsford, BC, as a young man for one year and was employed as his full time delivery driver to customers in Vancouver. I also trailered live pigs to the abattoir and fed and cleaned the pens when his son was away.

Gregory kindly helped us out with a housesit on short notice. He seemed to enjoy our young cat and let us know that things were going well with her while we were away. Except for dry house plants, the house was fine upon our return. Gregory left quite a few belongings at our house that he may collect as soon as he is able. He replied to all communications promptly and positively. We wish him well with his travels and future house sits! Thank you, Gregory!
Gregory did an excellent job of looking after our home and dog, I would highly recommend.
Gregory left my house spotless and my dog happy. Hunter is a busy and sometimes noisy dog so Gregory’s calm handling and care was a relief. He let me know things were going well, with photos of my good boy. So grateful for this positive experience. Trish
Very happy to have had Gregory sit for me. Excellent communication from our first interaction, and everything was very smooth. My one cat is usually timid at first but he seemed comfortable with Gregory right away. Came home to happy cats and an immaculate house - new bedding, clean dishes put away, etc etc. would gladly have him sit for me again!
Garden Maintenance

Green garden!

Make sure the garden and potted plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
