Engineer
Sandy is from Canada, Rick is from Australia, we met in Africa and now we live in Canada. Sandy is a semi-retired engineer while Rick still works sometimes remotely as a computer programmer. We have worked in North America, Europe, Africa and South America and have four different passports between us - Australia, UK, the Netherlands and Canada. We speak English and Dutch, and can get by in French and German.
Since we sold our house in 2019, we decided to travel more and join Nomador to enjoy life in different countries. Our plan is to move to France one day!
We love animals but our lifestyle does not make it easy to own them, so we enjoy looking after other people's pets
In Hawaii we owned and managed a successful vacation rental (over 50 five-star reviews), so we are experienced with taking care of a house. We are non-smokers.

Sandy (Canadienne) est ingénieure semi-retraité et Rick (Australien) est programmeur informatique (aussi semi-retraité). Nous vivons au Canada. Nous avons travaillé en Amérique du Nord, en Europe, en Afrique et en Amérique du Sud et avons quatre passeports différents entre nous - l’Australie, le Royaume-Uni, les Pays-Bas et le Canada. Nous parlons anglais et néerlandais, et nous pouvons nous débrouiller en français et en allemand.
Depuis que nous avons vendu notre maison en 2019, nous avons décidé de voyager plus et de rejoindre Nomador pour profiter de la vie dans différents pays. Notre plan est de déménager en France un jour
Nous aimons les animaux, mais avec notre vie nomade, il est impossible d’avoir un animal de compagnie - donc nous aimons être avec les animaux des autres
A Hawaii, nous avons eu une location de vacances (plus de 50 avis cinq étoiles), alors nous avons l’expérience de gérer une maison. Nous sommes non-fumeurs.

Rick and Sandy were repeated pet-sitters for me. They are super responsible, engaging, caring and experienced sitters. Despite scheduling changes, their remained flexible. Without a doubt, they are highly recommended.
Sandy and Rick did it again! They couldn't have been better guests and pet-sitters. They are resourceful, friendly, conscientious. They clearly loved our cats and were loved back. They did everything they could to be helpful. The house was impeccable and full of kind attentions. They kept us updated with photos - some of the best photos we have of our cats. They also let us know how much they were enjoying our place and the city, which was an added treat. We couldn't recommend them more highly.
Sandy and Rick couldn't have been better guests and pet-sitters. They are friendly and did everything they could to be helpful. They arranged their flights to arrive when it was convenient for us, gave our cat so much attention he thrived during their stay. The house was impeccable and full of kind attentions, like replenishing the fresh groceries we had in the fridge when we left. PLUS, and this made us very happy, they had a wonderful time and took full advantage of being in the city. We highly recommend them.

Sandy and Rick were lovely housesitters who took great care of my three pets. Nothing was too much trouble for them in following my pets' routines especially in the case of my dog Nala who's on a diet. They were more than happy to meet up before I went away. They left the house clean and tidy and kept me informed. I'd recommend them as housesitters, and hope to welcome them back again.
