About us

We're Kathy and Scott, empty-nesters turned adventure-seekers! We're semi-retired digital nomads who have enjoyed pet/housesitting, and vacation rental caretaking, during our travels.

favoriteWhy we love house sitting

We love the opportunity housesitting provides for us to meet new people we'd otherwise not have met, care for their furry friends which fulfills the gap of not having our own pet, and explore new areas through the eyes of the locals we sit for.

Hello there! We're Kathy and Scott, and we're more than just your typical house and pet sitters; we're your reliable, responsible, and caring home and furry-family guardians. Here's why we believe we'd be the perfect fit for your house-sitting and pet-sitting needs:

Responsible and Caring:

We understand the importance of trust when it comes to caring for your home and pets. We take immense pride in ensuring that your cherished abode and beloved four-legged companions are in safe hands. ... Read moreHello there! We're Kathy and Scott, and we're more than just your typical house and pet sitters; we're your reliable, responsible, and caring home and furry-family guardians. Here's why we believe we'd be the perfect fit for your house-sitting and pet-sitting needs:

Responsible and Caring:

We understand the importance of trust when it comes to caring for your home and pets. We take immense pride in ensuring that your cherished abode and beloved four-legged companions are in safe hands. Our responsible nature guarantees your peace of mind.

Global Nomads:

Our journey has taken us to various corners of the globe, where we've spent extended periods getting to know different cultures, traditions, and breathtaking landscapes. We believe in the power of travel to broaden horizons and create lasting connections with people from all walks of life.

Cultural Enthusiasts:

We consider ourselves fortunate to have made lasting friendships around the world—both with two-legged and four-legged pals! Our passion for embracing diverse cultures has enriched our lives, making us appreciate the beauty of our global community.

Self-Sufficiency:

As dedicated online entrepreneurs, we're self-sufficient and can work from anywhere with an internet connection. Our online businesses, including our channel 'k-now-what,' allow us to maintain flexibility while ensuring that your home and pets receive the attention they deserve.

Property Maintenance Pros:

With extensive experience in cleaning, decorating, construction, painting, renovating, hospitality, and service, we're well-equipped to handle small maintenance repairs with ease. From tending to gardens to overseeing daily operations, we've got it covered.

Trusted References:

Since leaving Canada in 2021, we've been on a continuous journey that's allowed us to care for homes, B&Bs, and pets not only in Central America but also in our home country. We're grateful to consider the people whose spaces we've looked after as friends, and they're more than willing to vouch for our reliability and trustworthiness.

15+ Years of House/Pet Sitting:

We've been intermittently house and pet sitting for over 15 years, both at home in Canada and during our extensive travels. This experience has provided us with a deep understanding of the unique needs and responsibilities associated with this role.

Continuing Our Adventure:

Our wanderlust knows no bounds, and we're always eager to explore new countries and continents. But what truly excites us is the prospect of making new friends along the way, both human and animal.

So, if you're seeking not just caretakers but caring hearts to watch over your home and pets, consider us your ideal companions. We look forward to meeting you and becoming your next friends on this incredible journey of life!

Pet care

We are well-versed in caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and have cared for fish and reptiles. We would be open to caring for farm animals, horses and fowl though we don't yet have direct experience with them. We do not do sits for cats and rabbits as we have allergies to them
