We're a responsible couple, in our forties and together for over 18 years, offering exceptional live-in care for your home & your pets while you're away. While many agencies charge for sitting services, we offer our services free-of-charge because we earn our income from other sources. In turn, and to ensure a mutually beneficial exchange, homeowners offer us expense-free use of their home during our assignments. Through house sitting we're able to provide security and peace of mind to homeowners, build friendships with wonderful people from around the world, live like locals in "homes away from home", and spend time with many fantastic pets.
We travel to our house sit assignments a little differently than most - by bicycle! We love bicycle touring, house and pet sitting, and volunteering with organizations that help keep our community and environment healthy. You can follow our two-wheeled adventures on our travel Facebook page.
