favoriteWhy we love house sitting

We really enjoy forming a bond with pets that we take care of and also helping the owners take a trip without worrying about their home and pets.

We have been lucky enough to have had a variety of pets over the years - dogs, cats, guinea pigs and rabbits plus we have looked after the pets of friends when they have been on vacation. We currently look after two cats and a puppy when friends are out of town. They keep us entertained and there is never a dull moment with them around which we love. Some of the pet issues we have had experience dealing with include senior dogs and cats, special diets, blindness, deafness, epilepsy and ...

We currently look after two cats and a puppy when friends are out of town. They keep us entertained and there is never a dull moment with them around which we love. Some of the pet issues we have had experience dealing with include senior dogs and cats, special diets, blindness, deafness, epilepsy and sensitivity to loud noises (fireworks etc).

We are both early retired, Jim from the local high school and Fiona as an adoption social worker. Due to working in these positions we had to have regular criminal record checks.
We are fully vaccinated with our Covid vaccines.

Jim is originally from Ontario, Canada and Fiona from England but we have lived in British Columbia, Canada for over 30 years.
We currently live in Creston, BC, have been home owners for many years therefore are familiar with home maintenance.

We are vegetarian, non smokers and are unfortunately unable to take sits in smoking homes.

We are detail oriented, great communicators and very organized.
We would love to send updates, pictures while you are away.

We like to find out about your pets daily schedule and personalities in order to continue their daily routines with as little disruption as possible.

We realize everyone has different house rules for their pets and rest assured we will follow them. You can leave on your trip feeling confident that your pets needs will always be our highest priority, closely followed by the cleanliness of your home.

Our goal is for you to come home to happy contented pets and your home looking just as you left it.

We are very selective regarding the house sits that we apply for so you can be confident we have read your listing carefully and that we feel your pets profile and location would be a great match for us.
