Voula & David

Hiya!! Thanks for popping in to check us out! We're Voula and David! We’ve been together for almost 15 years and one of the many things that’s kept us laughing and going all this time is our shared passion for travelling and learning.

In 2023, we decided to pack it all in. We gave up our jobs and our rental apartment in Toronto so we could see a bit more of the world. In April of 2024, we reluctantly returned from a life changing 6-month trek across Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. There’s so much of the world to explore, so combining pet/house sitting with travelling and experiencing new places is an excellent way for us to see it.

We've both grown up in households that embraced pets as family members. David grew up in a home full of animals and helped his parents breed and raise several litters of Dalmatians over the years. His earliest memory is being licked in the face by a fresh batch of dalmatian puppies. Whereas 6-year-old me fell off the back of a donkey while riding up a craggy hillside rock path to reach my aunt and uncle’s farm on a small island in Greece (more sheep and goats than people). From childhood to adulthood, between us, we have always been around a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, gerbils, fish, and reptiles (yes - I used to have a green iguana as a pet - her name was Cera 😁).

We've always thoroughly enjoyed the company of pets – sometimes more than humans (probably more than sometimes to be honest) – and we really like getting to know their different personalities.

We are two very organized (I used to be a forensic scientist and David is an elementary school teacher), non-smoking (I’m allergic to it), clean and conscientious people who will take care of your pet family and your home as if they are our own.

We know how important is to treat your home and pets with love and respect. We have a lot of experience looking after homes and pets both on a professional level, and on behalf of family, friends, and neighbours. This has included house sitting, dog walking, gardening, and checking in on pets to ensure their welfare whilst their owners were away. We would happily provide you with references if required.

We're really looking forward to meeting you and your pet family!!
