Doug grew up on a farm and is very comfortable with animals and is also super handy. Heather loves dogs and cats. We are very responsible, dependable, neat, organized people. We enjoy being active, walking, hiking and biking. We have three awesome kids and have recently become “empty-nesters.” Since Doug and I both have the capability to work remotely for our jobs, we wanted to give housesitting a try! We will care for your home and pets as if they were our own!

TINA MARIE ( Hawaii, May 2023 - 1 month 1 week)

Doug & Heather have excellent communication and are very trustworthy. We were away for 5 weeks and upon return our home was well cared for and SUPER clean. My dog acted like I hadn’t even left and didn’t seem to be stressed at all. They even ended up being here when our new washer & dryer arrived and they handled the delivery. We would whole heartedly have them back any time our schedules both align.

HILARY (Land o Lakes Florida, Apr 2025 - 2 weeks 3 nights)

Heather and Doug were great! I got regular updates of my pup’s care and the house was all clean and put together when I returned. They’ll be repeat sitters for sure!
