My wife and I have know Deborah and her husband for 40 years, and shared a home with them for 7. During our years together, we have shared responsibility for horses, dogs and cats - always with care and affection. Deborah and her husband have had successful housesits in Italy and Australia, while others looked after their dog and cat back home in Canada. It is with full confidence I recommend Deborah and her husband as reliable house sitters.

About

Hello fellow globe trotters, We are an actively retired nurse/homeopath & teacher/academic couple with extensive travel experience. We are vegetarians and non-smokers, who have "lived" (3 months or more) in the Netherlands, Germany

Why we want to house sit

House sitting has allowed us to more authentically experience local communities and cultures than is possible as 'tourists', to do our own cooking and make friends all over the world. Having pets to look after, completes our home-happiness.
