HouseSit Handyman

63, Enjoying Retirement

Hello, Dave here, a farm-raised country boy at heart, looking to house sit for you in Durham Region, Toronto or beyond from Niagara Falls to Ottawa.

Five years sitting experience, I prefer 2 weeks to months-long stays. I can travel up to +4 hrs beyond Toronto for your long workaway or snow-bird travel plans. I am flexible to stay months-long for the care of your home, garden, pets, and plants.

I love any pets (dogs, cats, birds, fish) or farm animals. I can maintain your lawn and gardens and indoor plants while you are away. I am also open to keeping busy with small house/yard repairs too fiddly to justify trades/contractors (ex. cleaning high up light fixtures, fireplace glass, oven glass) . I bring my own tools. I am a non-smoker, non-drinker, mostly vegan, healthy body & mind.

I have a pet-friendly Dodge van to transport your pet dogs to their favorite runs or dog parks. A home with parking is preferred, but I can also commute to a downtown Toronto condo too.

Please text, call, or Whatsapp video me to learn more about what you need. I can provide references to family, friends, and other HomeOwners I have sat for, and a link to My Facebook profile.

Important documents available on request; Police Background Check, Drivers License, Covid vaccination record and more.

Feel free to touch base anytime; days or evenings. Let's Go.
Dave

Second sit with Dave! We added a second dog to the family. Extreme dog management is required and Dave rose to the challenge! Thanks Dave! You're making our lives easier and getting away possible!

Thanks so much David for taking such great care of the pets and the house while I was away. It was so amazing to know that you were there for them and I cant say what a joy it was coming home to happy pets and such a clean house. Also thanks so much for keeping me informed re the pets while I was away. It was such a great experience for me to have you to rely on. If I can be of value as a reference please feel free to reach out and hope to have you in again in the near future. thank you once ... MORE

If you want a trusted, considerate and kind person looking after your home, look no further than David! We were moved to another province for work for several months and needed to find someone to take care of our home. David was truly amazing throughout the whole process. Very transparent and honest when we met him for the first time on a video chat. While we were away and he lived in the home he was helpful, communicative and respectful. We honestly felt so at ease knowing that our home ... MORE
