We have recently retired from our professional careers to travel. We believe house sitting is a great way to enhance our travels, allowing us to live like "locals", while providing a valuable service to you.

We enjoy many daytime outdoor activities and would enjoy taking your pet along on walks, runs, hikes, etc. We also enjoy unwinding in the evenings, watching Netflix or reading on the couch, so if you have an affectionate pet they would get plenty of attention as well.

Since we still own property in Illinois, we fully understand the importance of having someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your home in your absence. We believe we are just who you are looking for!

Scott and Susan were just amazing ! If I could I would use them every time we leave town . Highly recommend them . My dog was taken perfect care of as was the house and yard . Scott and Susan actually stayed for 4 weeks whilst we were overseas and they were just a blessing .

Scott and Susan were awesome to work with from start to finish. They were great at communicating from the beginning, they made an effort to meet us and our dog in person before the house sit, and they asked all the right questions to put us at ease. During the house sit we had no issues and we knew that our nearly 11-year-old pup was in good hands. They cared for our house plants, our yard and most of all our dog. We can home to a fit happy dog and a clean house. I say fit because our dog ... MoreScott and Susan were awesome to work with from start to finish. They were great at communicating from the beginning, they made an effort to meet us and our dog in person before the house sit, and they asked all the right questions to put us at ease. During the house sit we had no issues and we knew that our nearly 11-year-old pup was in good hands. They cared for our house plants, our yard and most of all our dog. We can home to a fit happy dog and a clean house. I say fit because our dog looked like he might even lost a pound or so while we were gone, which says to me he got plenty of exercise. I would have Scott and Susan back anytime and I highly recommend them for future jobs. They are trustworthy and responsible and they do a great job.

Great house sitters! Scott and Susan took care of our house and dogs for two weeks in May. They did a simply excellent job. The house and the dogs were very well cared for while we were gone. In fact, the house was actually cleaner when we got back than when we left! These guys go above and beyond! I cannot recommend them enough! Many thanks Scott and Susan!

Scott and Susan did a wonderful job taking care of my pets and my home while I was away. Meeting them was a true pleasure and I immediately felt comfortable leaving them with my home and pets. I hope they will be available for my future travels as this experience with them was excellent! I highly recommend them with no reservations.
Garden maintenance

Green garden!

Make sure the garden and potted plants are thriving when you return home. A house sitter will do this for you.
