We are warm weather sailors in search of a cold weather home.

Both of us are pretty handy, love rural/remote living, and enjoy animals. We have our own vehicle, and are free to go wherever the wind blows. Serious winters are no problem; our last land home was on the north shore of Lake Superior!

Our 'home' is our sailboat, currently located in Newfoundland. Plans for the coming years are to sail in the warm months, and house/animal sit through the cold. We value spending longer periods of time in one area, so we can really get to know a place.

We are available for house/animal sits from about October to May, give or take a few weeks.

NOTE: We have too many letters of recommendation to fit on the system. We're happy to share them all via our DropBox account. Please contact us for a link.

This was our first time having house sitters and we were very lucky to get Mike and Ann to take care of our house and our 3 cats. They were here from Dec 7 to 23 while we were away in the Caribbean. They took great care of our cats and shared photos and videos with us while we were away. It was nice to see how well the cats bonded with them and that they went the extra mile to play with and entertain them. Mike and Ann are a lovely couple. Once we met them, we knew that the house was in ... MORE

We had Mike and Ann care for our home, 5 cats and two small puppies from Oct 23 - Nov 9th, 2022. Our young pups weren't fully house trained yet so we were expecting them to revert in several areas. They don't do change well at all. Their routine isn't easy either as they wake at 5am and needed lots of attention and care. There were also two cats the she shed office space they cared for daily along with our three inside. When we arrived home our house was in order, pets were happy and we ... MORE

We consider ourselves so fortunate to have had Mike and Ann stay in our house while we were away in the Caribbean. They are such an amazing couple who we very much enjoyed the night before our trip when they came for dinner and to learn all the inner workings of our home. They seemed to truly engage with our cats and the cats with them. With COVID it was a challenging time to be out of the country (after we left the virus surged) and there were days when the only certainty we had about our ... MORE

Mike and Ann did a wonderful job. We have quite a few animals, and we are so impressed the way they looked after our home and pets. We had some health issues with a cat and horse, but they were amazing, doing medications for 1 chihuahua, 1 cat and extra feed for the horse in questionl. We can't thank them enough. Everything we could wish for. We can honestly say, they are the best people we have ever had, and we are both sad to see them go. They were able to hold a family Christmas here, ... MORE
