Hi. I'm Linda. I'm in my late 50's, retired from a career in Communications and Event Management. I'm originally from South Florida. My husband Tony is the same age, and (finally) retiring from a career in Hospitality Management. He was born in SE London, and still has his EU passport. We have two grown sons, who have not, as yet, provided us with grandchildren, so we have time to get our travel on and plenty of love to share! Our other hobbies include long walks, bicycling, swimming, gardening, reading, food & cooking, and music. We are non-smokers, have clean driving records and TSA Global Entry status. Tony has valid licenses in both the US and the UK.
Traveling is one of our greatest shared pleasures and now that we're retiring we are looking forward to much more! So far, we've been to Italy, France, England, Ireland, Greece, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Mexico, Costa Rica, Barbados, the BVI's - all over the Caribbean. We've traveled a bit in the US too, though not nearly as much as we'd like. We are newly retired and em-bark-ing (see what I did there?) on a new adventure; full-time house/pet sitting, enabling us to see the world while sharing our love with your furbabies. Instead of leaving our pet behind when we travel, we'll be heading toward yours. We will make certain that they are kept healthy and safe, and feel well-loved until your return. We can hardly wait to meet them!
We're experienced 5-star sitters who have completed sits with wonderful dogs of all sizes, cats, chickens and fish, in both urban and rural settings. We've cared for vegetable gardens, lawns, pools and wild bird feeders. We've enjoyed sits in the UK, France, the US and Mexico thus far. We were homeowners ourselves for 30 years, so are familiar with home maintenance and upkeep, including pools. We're very clean and tidy and firmly believe in leaving your home and car in better shape than we found it. We will live gently in your home and love your pets extravagantly. We've been blessed to share our lives with two of our own wonderful dogs during our 35 year marriage; Thor, a Malamute Shepherd mix, and Summer, a Springer Spaniel.

Lovely couple! Extremely capable and trustworthy. Not sure our pets even missed us ????. Came home to a clean home and 5 very happy dogs and 2 cats! Linda and Tony have great energy about them and are just genuinely nice people. We whole heartedly recommend them to anyone looking to intrust them with their home and or pets for any duration of time. We had them house/pet sit for 3 weeks during a very hot Summer holiday, and everything was perfect when we returned. We hope to stay in touch with them as they have many fabulous adventures house and pet sitting around the world! We can’t wait to follow in their footsteps and become international house sitters ourselves!! Thank you Tony and Linda!! ??
