Pet sitting allows us to break up our travels from our little motohome to have a break from a small space and provide love and care for animals. It gives us purpose to help others out to enjoy their time away.
Pet sitting gives us the opportunity to experiences areas that are new to us.

Sometimes the motorhome gets a bit small (if you know what I mean) so we like to break up our travels with helping others out that require pet/house-sitting. It gives us pleasure to be around animals as our have passed away 10 years ago.

The 2nd sit was in Peachland BC. Two labadoodles that were very active. We enjoyed taking them for walks twice a day, including taking them to the water for an enjoyable swim. They loved it, as much as we did.
We always petsit our grandpuppies (in our own home)
We love pet sitting as it keeps us active and helps the owners out on their time away.

Tom and Dorothy are fantastic. They cared for our fur babies like their own, took care of the house and kept in communication with us. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality care.
It was a pleasure getting to know this couple. They were great with communication before and after the house sit. The house was left tidy, all our critters were well taken care of, and they even did a bit of yard work for us. Very mich enjoyed meeting them and having them stay with us for the week. Very nice people and worked with our shedual. Hope you guys had a wonderful stay and would recommend this sitter 100%.
Dorothy and Tom took excellent care of our home while we were away. They sent pics of our pets and updates. It was wonderful to come home to a sparkling clean home!
Edith, thank you for your positive review.
House Security

Safe house!

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