favoriteWhy we love house sitting

It is a privilege and an adventure to have someone open up their home to you and trust you to take care of their pets! It is great to enjoy new pets and meet their owners and explore new neighborhoods in Canada 🇨🇦

Hi, I'm Marcia, 54 year-old retired HR professional. I am very active, and love long walks and gardening and PETS! My husband is an engineer with his own business and is flexible to join me for part of the time during house and pet sits.

I also am an amateur artist so enjoy having time in a new place to explore and paint. Nature, animals and hiking inspire me. Our world 🌎 is beautiful.

I am very active, and love long walks and gardening and PETS! My husband is an engineer with his own business and is flexible to join me for part of the time during house and pet sits.

I also am an amateur artist so enjoy having time in a new place to explore and paint. Nature, animals and hiking inspire me. Our world 🌎 is beautiful.

Up until recently, we had an assortment of pets, and we miss our labradoodle Coco, so pet sitting is a great way to have a dog again for a week or two. I've had cats, birds, lizards, hamsters, and chickens - love all the creatures! Dogs are my favorite, especially dogs who like to walk and then like to sit beside you when you read.

We live in Goderich Ontario, a small town on the shores of Lake Huron. We own a beautiful Queen Anne century home within walking distance to town and beaches. We spend summers in Goderich but enjoy travel to other places and exploring 🇨🇦 in other seasons. This is my second year retired and I hope to explore and travel a more across our beautiful Canada.

I look forward to connecting and I have references on my home exchange and airbnb profile - we are respectful, clean and organized guests with great communication. Happy to provide additional references from long time neighbours who have seen us with our dog for many many years!

Pet care

Have had extensive experience with my own pets. I have taken care of neighbours dogs or walked them, or visited and fed cats for neighbours away for a weekend. Have experience with home exchange (5 star rating) but new to this platform. Happy to connect on WhatsApp to answer questions.
