As a couple/duo
Je suis rédacteur, écrivain et conservateur. Je suis originaire des États-Unis. Mon mari et moi vivons actuellement à Berlin, en Allemagne. Nous avons beaucoup voyagé et avons vécu à l'étranger, en Allemagne, aux Pays-Bas, en Irlande, en France, en Italie et en Angleterre, ainsi qu'au Canada. J'ai travaillé dans plusieurs musées, dont la Yale Art Gallery, le Museum of the City of New York et le Currier Museum of Art. Je travaille également à la rédaction d'un certain nombre de publications sur les arts, les voyages et la culture, notamment Fodor's Travel, Booking.com et Airbnb. Comme mon mari et moi travaillons à distance, nous avons le luxe de voyager fréquemment et nous apprécions beaucoup le changement de décor. Nous sommes toujours à la recherche de nouvelles aventures !
J'adore explorer de nouveaux coins du monde et rencontrer de nouvelles personnes (ainsi que des animaux domestiques !). Je suis aussi un maniaque de la propreté. J'ai été élevée dans une très belle maison sur un grand domaine et je comprends la valeur (ainsi que la fierté) de l'entretien d'une maison bien aménagée.
Mon mari, Trahern ("Trey") est traducteur (de l'allemand et du néerlandais vers l'anglais). Il travaille également à l'écriture d'un livre en ce moment. Nous parlons tous les deux l'allemand, nous connaissons le néerlandais, nous lisons et comprenons beaucoup de français, et nous sommes en train d'améliorer notre connaissance de ce dernier dans l'espoir d'améliorer nos compétences orales. L'anglais est naturellement ce que nous parlons à la maison. (Nous connaissons également tous les deux l'allemand médiéval, mais ce n'est pas vraiment pratique de nos jours !)

Le Puy-Notre-Dame, France - July 2024
We were lucky to have Grace-Yvette and Trey stay at our house in France over this past winter. We have four cats that needed sitting from early December until the end of February. Grace-Yvette and Trey did a wonderful job not only maintaining the house, but also helping with a situation that was causing strife between two of the cats. One of our cats is the mother to another one, a female. and they just don’t get along. Grace-Yvette befriended the little girl cat and helped her gain confidence to stand up to her evil mother. After several months of nurturing, the whole situation was much improved. We feel that Grace-Yvette and Trey went well beyond what was expected and we are delighted! Fortunately they have agreed to come back next winter for another sit. We would recommend this couple to anyone needing an excellent house sit. They are the best.
London, United Kingdom - November 2023
Grace and Trey were such perfect house and dogsitters! The house was perfectly clean and tidy when we got home and it was clear how well they'd looked after our dog. They were very conscientious, keeping us updated with photos of Whiskey and notifying us when we had mail. They were kind enough to even give us very thoughtful gifts when we returned - gifting us 2 beautiful cookbooks! Lovely people who I'd recommend to anyone who is looking for house or petsitters!
Bénodet, France - September 2023
Grace-Yvette and her companion were very charming hosts, they knew how to take care of our cat wonderfully in our absence for two weeks. We received news and photos regularly. They even offered us specialties from Berlin when they left. A real treat. We recommend them without hesitation to anyone and will call on them again with pleasure.
Torcé-en-Vallée, France - January 2023
Grace-Yvette and her partner are lovely people and have been great home sitters while we were abroad, giving news often and surprising us when we came back with an extra clean house and some nice treats. We recommand them warmly and will be happy to have them home again.
