We are 5-star rated, experienced Pet/House sitters (Canada, Europe and Australia) with Trusted Housesitters (We have copied references from Trusted Housesitters to our profile here).
We're a kind-hearted, energetic, outgoing, retired professional couple who want to make your time away worry free and relaxing.
You'll find that we're easy-going, very clean, great communicators who like to laugh. We’re happy in a rural village, suburb or city. We love them all because they all have something interesting about them. We enjoy nature and like to excercise by hiking, biking, or walking.
If your pet needs lots of cuddles, has dietary or medical needs or needs long walks for their well-being, we're up for that. If you want regular updates on how your pet is doing we're good at that.
We are homeowners too! So we know how to trouble shoot when unexpected situations arise. We're great at looking after yards, pools, gardens and plants. Above all we consider ourselves sensible and reliable. We spend several months a year in Australia to escape the Canadian winter and catch up with family and friends. Dave is an Aussie and April is a Canadian.
A little outline of our experience with animals. Dogs - April’s family always had dogs. Labradors, hound dog/doberman cross and a Corgi.. Past pet-sits are too many to list now but include French bulldogs, Cavalier’’s, labs, mastiff, Boston terrier, schnauzer’s Small pets - experience caring Guinea pigs and hamsters Fish - Both indoor and outdoor fish, feeding and tank cleaning. Cats - We both grew up with cats and raising kittens so know what they need and, more importantly, when they need to be left to their own devices! Farm work - April grew up with cows and chickens (yup she’s milked cows and cleaned coups). She also have more limited experience with horses as she helped a friend care for her horse. Reptiles - Our kids had a bearded dragon and we kept garter snakes for awhile. No problem looking after them. Birds - Limited experience. We love birds though and April used to help her grandmother look after her budgie.

Safe house!
There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
