About us

65, Retired

We were born and raised in rural Ontario, and prefer countryside or waterfront quiet sits vs the 'hustle and bustle' of city life. We are tidy and very respectful of others property, and nonsmokers.

favoriteWhy we love house sitting

Housesitting is a fantastic opportunity for us to both travel while offering peace of mind to those who are kind enough to let us stay in their homes. And of course, it's a great way to ' live like a local' and explore our beautiful country.

Hi Everyone..
Our Beagle passed away in 2019. We realize, right now is not the ‘right time’ to get another dog, since we are wanting to travel more.

I recently retired in 2024 ( Nurse ) and my husband retired ( Mechanic / Millwright ) during CoVid. I may be alittle bias, but am confident Jim could problem solve and macgyver any issues that may arise when we’re in your home. Our home's primary source of heat is wood- rest assure we can manage your woodburning furnace, fireplace, insert, or stove.
We understand that you prefer to have your pet stay in the comfort of their own home when your away, that's where we come in!! We will care for them with the same kindness and attention as they're use to !! 🐕🐈🐟🐇🐓🐾

Pet care

We have been house sitting for the past year with Trusted House Sitters, and were 'hooked' after our first sit. We have cared for senior dogs, puppies, and cats.
