Most reliable and conscientious House Sitter ever!

Colette: 66, Retired

I love to house sit as it gives me the opportunity to travel and to experience living in other communities. I've been retired now for 7 years and have lived in Nicaragua, travelled South America , Europe, Indonesia and South East Asia. I am a single woman but very comfortable with solo travel. I enjoy being around cats and dogs, they make the best companions!

Before retiring I worked as a Contracts Advisor for major Oil Companies such as Shell Canada and Talisman Energy. I raised two very successful children as a single mother and I am very proud of my accomplishments. I love a clean and tidy home, and will respect yours as I did my own. If there are house plants to care for even better for I love to water and care for them as well.

I have references for you, as well as a police report for your peace of mind. For my comfort of feeling at home, I prefer long term sits of 2 to 6 months.

I look forward to hearing from you to discuss the care of your home and pets.

Best Regards

Colette

We have so many good things to say about Colette we don't even know where to start! She was incredibly professional and treated our home like it was her own, I don't know how it's possible but I think it looks better now then when we left. Colette followed through on every single thing we asked her to do, had amazing communication the whole time we were away, dealt with some minor house repairs and just blew us away overall. She would be our first choice if we ever go away again and we ... MORE

Colette was a great sitter. She traveled right across the country to care for our cat for six weeks. As soon as we left home we had a problem of our own creation - important cards left behind. In no time at all she arranged expedited delivery and resolved a difficult situation. Colette was a good communicator, both during the process of arranging the housesit and while we were away. She gave us updates on our kitty and reassured us that all was well at home. She experienced the worst ... MORE

This is the first time my husband and I used Canada House Sitters Canada, as we usually have found pet/house sitters through family contacts, so we wondered how using a service would suit us. We are very pleased with the service and the ability to find Colette there. Colette has been wonderful from the beginning and we feel like we have a new friend. Communication with Colette was always prompt. We were away for three months so we appreciated the photos and updates about our cats on a regular ... MORE

We have just returned from our extended vacation with Colette looking after our house and our two precious cats. We can confidently say that this was one of our best sitters ever. Usually, we have found our sitter by word of mouth, but this year we used this service and we fortunate to find Colette. When we contacted her 'mid-sit' to see if we could extend our stay, she quickly assured us it was okay with her. When we returned, the house was immaculate and the cats were so clearly happy and ...

Safe house!

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