You're in Good Hands!

**FULLY VACCINATED**

Recent ex-empty nesters with only one cat at home (apart from the 2 adult children!) we will care for your pet(s) and look after your home as if they were our own! We enjoy light gardening and lawn work, walking dogs, playing with cats, and love new experiences.

We've vacationed or travelled all through Canada and lived in all the varying climates our beautiful country offers. Now we're ready to get to know the "locals" in some of those places!!

We're hoping that housesitting will allow us to give you the luxury of getting away from home for awhile, without the worry of what you've left behind. We are prompt, reliable, and will communicate with you as frequently as you wish during our stay, to give you peace of mind while you're away from your home and pet(s).

Gerry still works full-time, so Jacquie is doing primarily solo sits for now if the sit isn't within commuting distance of Ottawa. But we are definitely interested in taking vacation time to do some more distant sits, and retirement is coming...and with it, the excitement of venturing further afield.

Rest assured that with us, you're leaving your babies and belongings "in good hands."

NOTES:

1. I generally charge for sits in Ottawa and surrounding area. Rates can be seen on my website; search for Who Rules Your Roost.

2. While willing to go anywhere, please remember that Jacquie plans to avoid the snow & cold of the winter months, so she will be looking for sits in sunny, warm climates for the winter months.

Jacquie looked after our house in the country and our dog, Shanti, for three weeks in Sept./Oct. 2023. We came back from Europe to a perfectly clean house and a happy dog. Shanti had obviously enjoyed all the attention she got and all the walks they took. Jacquie frequently informed us of the situation at home and took care of our house plants. We can only recommend her as a reliable, mature house sitter.

No rating To receive Jacquie as our homesitter for 4 days what a great experience. She is a responsible, friendly and very kind person with our two furry friends. When we returned, the house was immaculate and welcoming. Mitsou and Poune were calm and happy to see us again. We will not hesitate to ask for her homesitting services again, as soon as the opportunity arises. Thank you Jacquie.
NOELLE-LISE AND MARC (Lachute Quebec, Oct 2018)
No rating Jacquie and Gerry were the best house sitters we have ever had! We felt completely at ease with them from the first time we met. We were confident that our home and our bichon Celeste would be in good hands while we were visiting our daughter and her family. Jacquie kindly sent us detailed daily updates about Celeste and her activities, which was very reassuring. A few days into the housesitting, Jacquie and Gerry had to deal with an unforeseen (and unfortunate) household emergency, ... MORE

Safe house!

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