About us

groupCouple

Retired

Semi-retired

We are retired seniors who love dogs, travel and experiencing new places. We are non-smokers, very active (golf, walking etc) and love taking care of dogs.

favoriteWhy we love house sitting

We enjoy experiencing new places and the change of scenery. We are big dog lovers and having a furry companion with us on walks etc is always fun. We currently live in Southwestern Ontario and appreciate the opportunity to explore other provinces that house sitting provides us.

After having 3 dogs of our own over the years, we have chosen to get our "dog fix" by looking after other people's dogs. We have excellent references (from both the Owners and the dogs!) and would happily provide contact info. We really enjoy house/dog sitting and think its a win/win for everyone. You can leave your home and furry friend in our care while you're away with the peace of mind that all is being taken care of. And your dog is not in a cage or kennel but instead staying in ...

You can leave your home and furry friend in our care while you're away with the peace of mind that all is being taken care of. And your dog is not in a cage or kennel but instead staying in his/her routine and getting lots of attention. We appreciate knowing all about your dog's history, do's and don'ts, diet, daily routine etc to make sure we can provide the best care and attention while you're away.

We are first time members and did we hit the jackpot having Bob & Lynne. They were just like having family come. They took exceptional care of Carson adhering to his multiple walks per day and adjusted his route when the hot weather came. There was correspondence back and forth and there were no issues with Carson or our home, Feedback from our neighbours was positive as our community just loves Carson and several people commented how often they saw him being walked.

They took exceptional care of Carson adhering to his multiple walks per day and adjusted his route when the hot weather came. There was correspondence back and forth and there were no issues with Carson or our home, Feedback from our neighbours was positive as our community just loves Carson and several people commented how often they saw him being walked. If you are lucky enough to have Bob & Lynne reply to your request for a sit, don't bother interviewing them, just grab them. You will return to a spotless home, well cared for pet as well as a lasting friendship. We will have them back in a heart beat.

Leaving your home and pet can be stressful. Lynn and Bob made it worry free. They were fantastic house and pet sitters! Our dog absolutely loved them. Our home was cared for as if was their home which is appreciated. The two of them are easy going, respectful, very friendly and accommodating to all aspects of the house sit. This trustworthiness is appreciated. We highly recommend them should you be looking for a husband / wife team to manage your home and pet while away travelling. 5 ...

Lynne and Bob were amazing. They took great care of my house and left it neater and tidier than when I left. They communicated with me while I was away, frequently to let me know how my little Yorkie Teddy was doing. He is normally quite anxious when I leave, but Lynne advised that he was calm and very interested in cuddling with them. They took him for walks daily and made sure he was cozy and relaxed. They spent much of their time making sure Teddy was comfortable and stress-free. When ... MoreLynne and Bob were amazing.

They spent much of their time making sure Teddy was comfortable and stress-free. When I arrived home, he looked happy to see me but was looking around for Lynne and Bob, his new friends. I would highly recommend them for their tender loving care, as would Teddy.

Bob and Lynne were absolutely wonderful house sitters. We felt completely at ease knowing Frankie was in their care. They gave him so much love and attention, kept him happy and well-exercised, and treated him like he was their own. Our home was just as well looked after — everything was spotless, organized, and exactly as we left it. It’s such a gift to travel and not worry. We would welcome them back anytime and recommend them to anyone looking for house and pet sitters.
Bob and Lynne were fantastic. We met up the day before they were scheduled to watch Daisy. They were great at communicating with me and asked all the right questions. Daisy was well taken care of and the house was just as I had left it. I would definitely recommend them and will have them back next time I go on vacation if they are available.
Thanks Sara for the great review. We had a great time and look forward to seeing you again. All the best 👍 Bob and Lynne
Bob and Lynne took wonderful care of my dog, Freddie! They brought him on plenty of walks and even took him to the dog park, which he loves. They kept me updated throughout their stay and communicated well about how things were going. My home was spotless when I returned. I’d be more than happy to have Bob and Lynne house/dog sit for me again!
From my initial contact with Bob & Lynne everything when smoothly. Bob & Lynne provided exceptional care to Callie. Excellent communication and quick to respond with updates. We came home to a very happy and content dog. House was clean and tidy. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Bob & Lynne for our future sits. Highly recommend them both.
