Breanna & Emerald

Owner away?... We'll sit and stay!

Greetings Furr-iends & Paw-rents,

We are Emerald and Breanna, the 'Canadian Critter Sitters' (eh?!) — a nomadic female couple traversing this captivating and vibrant big blue dot we call home! We are full-time sitters on TrustedHouseSitters and HouseSittersCanada and have a fervent passion for all things animals, nature, and adventure! As we are new to this site, we are happy to provide references from our other sits.

We are digital nomads in our late 30's/early 40’s. Working remotely allows us the freedom and flexibility to travel where the tides take us. That said, we are willing to come to you wherever you may roam, especially for longer-term sits!

✤ ✤ We are now booking long-term sits (1-6 months) for 2025 in Canada and the USA ✤ ✤

We have been house-sitting for several years, and caring for animals all our lives — Breanna the Author and 'Crazy Cat Lady,' and Emerald the Musician and 'Chihuahua Whisperer.' We've been all over the world and spent some time in some pretty humbling and exotic places:

Indonesia, Thailand, Australia, China, Israel, Jordan, Palestine, Portugal, Greece, Italy, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States, Bahamas, Mexico, Dominican Republic... to name a few!

When living in Mexico in 2022, we adopted a female Rat Terrier puppy named "Mila" who is house-trained, well-mannered, and gets along famously with other dogs and cats. This is something to consider when choosing us to house-sit for you as she will be coming along for the adventure!

We believe that animals deserve the utmost respect and care and we would love so much to help you out, so give us a shout! ♡

***We are happy to video-chat with you to exchange energy and get a feel of who we are and how we would be a perfect fit for your home/pet.***

Thank you for your care and consideration and we look forward to connecting!

Pawsitively Yours,

Emerald & Breanna

We have cared for furry, finned, and feathered friends most of our lives (Felines, Canines, Birds, and Aquarium Fish). We have house and pet-sat all over the world for many years. We know what goes into maintaining a home and caring for loved ones, as we have both been pet/homeowners ourselves.

We are have over 10+ 5 star verifiable reviews for your peace of mind. :)
