About Josie S.

71 years old | Freelance Writer | As a couple/duo

We are a fit and active semi-retired couple experienced in house sitting since 2010. Conrad is a retired research scientist from the University of Michigan, and I, (Josie), am a freelance writer. Any outdoor activity attracts us, such as kayaking, bicycling, hiking, or just sitting on the veranda. While house sitting we have taken care of an off-the-grid home as well as pet dogs and other pets. It's hard to say good-bye to our new 4-footed friends at each house sit! I have cared for huge gardens and enjoy looking after others' varied plants and vegetation. I'll even prune your bushes. We have owned many homes, have renovated flooring and kitchens, and know when something's out of whack! We like keeping busy and would be honored to look after your home.

Josie and Conrad are amazing people. Just the sort of pet/housesitters you would like have in your home. They clearly loved my two cats. They're flexible, independent but communicative, and friendly with neighbors. Working out a schedule was very easy. I came home to an immaculate house, with some yummy leftovers and basic pantry items in the fridge. And best of all, they're the sort of people you'd like have a friends. I'd have them back in a minute!

Josie and Conrad were perfect cat-sitters. They are open and friendly people who we enjoyed getting to know for a couple of days before we left for a month-long holiday. They were very respectful of our home and gave our kitties lots of attention. We were delighted to return home to a spotless flat and happy cats. They kept in touch regularly and left us feeling very confident to entrust our home to them. We are very grateful to have found this wonderful couple and we wholeheartedly recommend them to the housesitting community!

Josie and Conrad were lovely people, it helped that they came to stay a couple of days before my trip. The house was clean and tidy and my dog, Spy, seemed happy.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié Josie et Conrad qui ont été très attentifs à notre chat et notre maison pendant une longue période. Nous avons eu des échanges culturels intéressants également. Nous recommandons ce couple de homesitters chaleureux, qui ont été sensibles à nos besoins. Très bonne expérience.
