Canadian Full-Time RV/Travelling House Sitters

37, Sustainability Data Analyst & Remote Property Manager

35, Fossil/Gem/Mineral Sales & Remote Property Manager

My partner and I have been full-time travelling in an RV since 2017. We are currently orbiting York Region and/or Barrie area as my partner has accepted a location dependent contract from April - November 2022.

We are looking for opportunities to house and pet sit within a 30 min commute to Barrie, ON between September - November 2022.

We have many references from other hosts we have stayed with across North America since 2017, as well as our most recent house & pet sits this last winter.

My partner and I own rental property and I manage a few others in SW Ontario so we are aware of the concerns that come with renting out your home to strangers. We can also troubleshoot common maintenance issues.

We are both working professional with our own hotspot internet and large data plans if unlimited wifi isn't available. We have a small footprint and used to being frugal with resources so we don't use much energy or water.

We do travel with a well behaved old lap kitty, but she is 16 years old and would be content to stay in the guest bedroom and sleep all day as she is used to the smaller space of the RV. We use natural pheromone diffusers and draft stoppers at the door to assist with keeping the peace and this method has worked well with all our live-in house sits with cats and/or dogs in their home.

My partner is a rock/mineral/fossil collector and there are many locations he is interested in exploring in this area. He is also working as an Archaeological Field Assistant and will be travelling around Ontario for that, so locations within an hour of Bradford are ideal.

Derrick is also extremely fit and keep up with any property maintenance needs while you are away. He can also keep up with any exercise needs of your pet (we do daily engagement and play/exercise if they are interested).

Our cat enjoys walks on her leash when the weather is favourable and Derrick and I also enjoy getting outdoors.

For transportation we have a small sedan for getting around, in addition to our tiny home on wheels (29' x 8' x 10'). If there isn't room to park both on your property, we can arrange for the car to be parked elsewhere and rely either on public transportation , etc., or your vehicle if that is an option.

We are big on cuddles and snuggles and hope your fur babies would allow us to bond in this way while taking care of them :)

Our cat requires daily oral medications, so we are very comfortable administering medications if required while we are there. My sister is a vet tech and has a close relationship with the vet. They are both very responsive to emergency and precautionary situations. One of our recent sits involved an older Doberman with a number of chronic and spontaneous health issues while in our care and my sister was a wonderful resource before making proposals to the owners while they were trying to enjoy their holiday. Our last sit involved a deaf & partially blind Husky requiring multiple trips to the vet resulting in oral medication and daily eye ointments and drops. There was also a HUGE 8 yr old Shepard/Piranese mix and a 14 yr old voluptuous, indoor/outdoor kitty (in addition to our own tiny, travel kitty) while there.

We would love to schedule a video call to further introduce ourselves and discuss how we can best take care of your home and loved ones while you are away.

We can also come out to meet you and your pets in person as many times as is necessary for you to feel comfortable and to ensure that we demonstrate our competency to follow any instructions you have for your home.

Hope to connect with you soon!
