We've been house & pet sitting part-time since we were in our 20's.
Our philosophy:
* Be Grateful
* Respect the earth, treat all living things with loving kindness
* Give back through volunteering
Originally from NY & CT, we moved together to Arizona in 1999, then San Diego and a few years ago to Northern California.
After many years as overachievers in the corporate world, the 2017 California wildfires forced us to reevaluate our priorities. We realized that what we love most is spending time together, being around animals and volunteering. So we decided to go on the journey of all journeys and create a different way of life.
We had a downsizing estate sale and donated a significant amount of goods/furniture to Northern California fire victims.
Now: We care for pets, plants & homes around the world and enjoy a lifestyle that allows us to be of service while doing what we love full time!
Why we're uniquely qualified:
We've been homeowners, landlords and renters - so we know how to care for manage and maintain properties. Growing up, Janet worked at her grandfathers' farm & garden center. We have experience with:
* Pool & hot tub maintenance
* Epsom salt water floatation tank & understand how to properly care for specialty equipment.
* Supervising projects and contractors/remodels & repairs
* Yard - tree - shrub maintenance pruning & clearing
* Caring for plants (indoor & out)
* Deadheading, weeding, slug removal
* Wreath making/Arranging cut flowers
* Vegetable/Fruit picking
* Selling @ farm-stands
* Woodstove use & care
* Snow blowing
We've been called the pet whisperers and pied pipers of animals as animals are attracted to our kind, loving and positive energy.
Janet has had pets since she was about 3yrs old. Judy has a peaceful, capable demeanor that reassures everyone that meets her. We are very skilled with large/small dogs and cats. Over the years, between the 2 of us we've personally owned:
16 Cats, 21 Dogs,18 Rabbits, Cockatiels, Morning Doves, Finches, Love Birds, Fish, Gerbils, Hamster & Guinea Pig - Plus the many dogs/cats we've pet sit for.
We have experience with:
* Grooming
* Medications
* Bathing
* Homeopathic and Natural Care such as Bach Flower Essences
* Raw food Diet and Dr Pitcairn Natural Care for Pets
* AKC show dogs - care, grooming, showing and pregnancy care, birthing & newborn care
We know when something is

Community opinion
Norton, United States - January 2019
Janet and Judy were the consummate dog and house sitters and also very nice people. They took expert care of Tilly, the dog, with long walks every day and kept me informed of everything around the house. They were flexible with last-minutes changes and left the house in an impeccable condition. When I came home, there was a home-cooked meal waiting for me. I recommend Judy and Janet very highly and we have already made plans to meet again.
