Pads & Paws

Retired

Civil Servant

Responsible, healthy, active, NS, ND, with years of dog and cat experience, wanting to travel.

We have been home owners for over 35 years. We reside in a large heritage home on beautiful Vancouver Island, BC, which we have lovingly updated and maintained for over 20 years. We have a bustling household - our 2 grown adult children are still living with us, and we have two dogs and two cats! We have forever been a family with pets. We walk our 2 dogs for at least an hour every day. Our 2 cats prefer to go outside to explore in the morning, and generally stay in or near the premises until early evening. Our sunroom allows all of our pets to come in and out for food and water all day. On occasion, when our friends need a weekend away or a short vacation, we have been happy to pet-sit their dogs in our home or provide a once-daily pop-in visit for their cats. We have also inspected family and friends’ vacant homes during a prolonged absence, meeting their home insurance requirements.

Having owned our own properties, we are aware of all the responsibilities and concerns with home ownership, and over the years, Geoff has performed basic home repair and maintenance tasks on his own; he has the technical and maintenance ability to report and/or handle/troubleshoot any issues promptly. Although we are city dwellers now, we were both raised on rural properties and have experience with wells and septic systems. We have also held employment positions in which security clearances were required in order to be fully bonded.

Now that Geoff is retired, we are planning to take more time to travel, and as long as there is wifi, Danielle can work remotely wherever and whenever she wants!

We look forward to hearing from you!

Geoff & Danielle, being home and pet owners themselves, were exceptional Housesitters! Our dog Asha was obsessed with them (Geoff especially!) from the moments we met. They managed all the more-techy features of our house with ease and were extremely self sufficient. If you are lucky enough to have them apply to sit for you, we highly recommend them. We hope to have them back :)

Outstanding house, garden, and pet care. Left our home cleaner than when they first arrived! Despite heat wave, kept up with all the watering and followed instructions for keeping our house cool. Both Gammon and Linus reported directly to us that they were very well cared for. Gammon especially liked the wonderful brushing they gave him. Communication was good and when needed. Arrived exactly when they said they would and not only left us with a happy pets and home, but a little thank you gift ... MORE
 
KERRY AND DAVID ( British Columbia, Jul 2024 - 3 nights)
It was a real joy having Geoff and Danielle care for my pets and my home. They had numerous questions regarding my pets daily routine, health, habits and dislikes. They have pets of their own and have the experience and knowledge of the unique needs that each pet requires. This provided me with peace of mind. They exceeded my expectations in the care they provided for my pets and my home. I would love to have them back in the future. I highly recommend them for any pet and house sitting ... MORE
 
MARIE (150 Mile House British Columbia, May 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
Geoff and Danielle were very considerate and friendly house sitters and we highly recommend them. Our young dog took to Geoff immediately and enjoyed many hours cuddling and walking with both of them. They were very organized and had lots of questions regarding our dog and home, which we appreciated. Communication before and after the housesit was excellent.

Green garden!

Make sure the garden and potted plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
