As a couple/duo
We are a caring, fit, adventurous Canadian couple who have been house-sitting in different cultures for over ten years while working online as marketers and business writers.
We love animals and have been asked back to house/pet sit whenever our furry friends needed a sitter. We cared for a Canadian Ambassador's home and dog, and became "family". We've travelled around Africa, Latin and North America, Asia, and Europe.
We have references from a long list (60+) of happy homeowners from Belgium to Bangkok, including the Panamanian Ambassador to Canada, and the Costa Rican Ambassador to Panama and many more. We would encourage you to chat with them -- We may start out as strangers but we end up as friends!
We both love to travel, but we also miss pets and the feeling of being part of a community. In past house sits, neighbours, become good friends who stay in touch. We love that feeling of truly entering a culture, learning the language from the locals, eating like locals, and caring for lovely pets and homes.
Plus, Thomas is handy. He has built many homes, in both tropical and temperate climates, and he knows plumbing, electrics, pools, general maintenance, etc. Both of us have shared our lives with rescue dogs, cats, and even a rescue horse. Plus, in South Africa, we had a farm with horses, sheep, ducks, geese, guinea fowl, cats, dogs and koi. We know how to care for animals and we love to do it!
We have cared for a luxe oceanfront condo, an off-grid Caribbean cabin and boat, an island home in Mexico, an Ambassador’s Panamanian home, a Costa Rican 5-star guest house, and a surfer's B & B in Panama, complete with making both "Bs" every morning. From upscale to rustic, we'll take wonderful care of your home, and pets!
We will send you videos of your pets at play (or rest--if they're lazybones) and lots of photo updates!

Perth, Australia - September 2017
Thomas and Sheron were unbelievably amazing house sitters! We cannot recommend them enough. They went out of their way to put our minds at ease whilst traveling and they sent lots of updates photos and videos which helped us know that our kitties were being loved so much. The house was spick and span, all the plants were healthy and even a few small house fixxeruppers on our to do list were done for us unexpectedly! It has been an delight to welcome this beautiful couple into our home and also introduce them to the best this city can offer. Their thoughtful touches will never be forgotten! I would not hesitate at all in recommending them to house, pet, plant sit.
