About Sandy v.

66 years old | 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.

Baltimore, United States - February 2022

Sandy and Rick are wonderful people and bonded with our 2 eight month old sister kittens. They sent us numerous pictures and updates about the girls and had funny anecdotes regarding their antics. We were lucky to have a chance to meet them in person before we left and found them engaging, intelligent, and kind. This was our first try with house sitters and we couldn't be more pleased with the process through nomador and Rick and Sandy. We came home to our 3 weeks worth of mail neatly sorted, the house in immaculate condition, plants thriving and a lovely note and bottle of wine left for us. We are already hoping to engage this lovely couple again in a few months. We HIGHLY recommend them!!!

Sandy and Rick are our first house sitters and they have set the highest of bars! They were attentive, responsible, thoughtful, generous, clean and overall wonderful. They took great care of our cats and home and actually left it better than they found it as we have had problems getting a plumber to come by to fix our constantly running toilet. We received daily updates and pictures and felt that our pets were in great hands. We only hoped that we would still be loved by our cats after meeting sandy and Rick!

We would wholeheartedly recommend Rick and Sandy as dependable, experienced and professional house- and petsitters. They went above and beyond in taking care of our house and our many rescue pets, even doing some small overdue maintenance on the car and house. The house was left perfectly clean and tidy. A warm and friendly couple, they obviously love animals. The pets bonded very well with them and missed them when they were gone! Contact before, during and even after the sit was prompt and pleasant. During our trip they kept us up to date about the home front, even sending regular pictures. It would be our pleasure to welcome them back as sitters anytime in the future!

It was a true pleasure to have Rick and Sandy watch our home and care for our pets. Right from the start, they were communicative and reliable, and made us feel at ease given their experience with pets. Our dog Moerje is very shy, but they were patient and accepted her for who she is. From the pictures they sent while we were away, it seemed clear that she was warming up to them, and when we got back she was completely calm and fell easily back into our usual routine. Moreover, Rick and Sandy were up for a new challenge and cared for our bunnies. Despite not having cared for bunnies previously, they did wonderfully, even managing the extra task of delivering some medication to one of the bunnies for the entirety of their stay. As for our home itself, it was in as good a condition as when we left it—everything was clean and tidy, down to a recent vacuuming. It was also very considerate of Rick and Sandy to monitor our flight status, and to be ready to come back in case anything went awry. We can wholeheartedly recommend Rick and Sandy for any other Nomadorians looking for someone to care for their pets and/or home.
