Greetings!
Allow us to introduce ourselves, my name is Erica and my partner is Jolly Joe. We are currently located in California but are more than willing to travel.
In between dog walks/cat cuddles, Joe fills his days studying computer programming in order to pursue a career in the technology field and I work from home as an Independent Contractor for a virtual contact temp agency.
One word that comes to mind when asked why we want to house sit is exploration! We are adventures at heart. We love to travel - seeing and doing new things is what fulfills us. House-sitting gives us the ability to check out all kinds of different places (some we haven't even heard of before) and for longer amounts of time.
Joe and I are life partners, pursuing this journey together as a team. A favorite thing to do in our spare time is Geocaching! Besides the fact that it is a free activity, it takes us to new and interesting places that we probably would not discover on our own. We love opening up the Geocache App to see if there are any "treasures" to find nearby. We've geocached across the United States and were so stoked to find a cache while traveling in Switzerland earlier this year!
Our pet-sitting experience includes indoor/outdoor short hair and Maine Coon cats as well as medium-large size dogs (Brittany Spaniel, Labrador Retriever, Rottweiler, Tree Walking Coonhound, Doberman Pinscher mix and Greater Swiss Mountain breeds). In addition, we've loved and cared for previous furry family members of the following breeds: Golden Retriever, Chow Chow, Chihuahua and Samoyed.
We can't wait to meet you and your pets and form new (fur) friendships!
Sincerely,
Erica & Jolly Joe
This was a repeat housesit with Érica and Joe. We could not be more pleased with their compassionate service to our dog and care of our home. We recommend them whole heartedly!
Another wonderful experience made possible by House Sitters of America! Erica and Joe arrived early to learn the daily routine. I instantly felt their warmth and that they take housesitting seriously. They took great care of my home, plants, and animals. From their notes, I can tell they got to know the animals’ personalities. The cats were so relaxed when I returned. I appreciate Erica’s and Joe’s little touches; for example, they taped up a leaking garden hose. I also forgot to make ... MORE
Erica and Joe are excellent house and pet sitters. They were easy to communicate with and responded quickly whenever we had a question. They sent us reassuring and now treasured photos while we were away. They went the extra mile in caring for our senior dog. Upon our return it was easy to see that Erica and Joe had not just cared for our dog, but loved him and showered him with kindness. We enjoyed their positive attitude and energy during the overlap time we had together. Our home and yard ... MORE
We couldn't have asked for better house sitters than Erica and Joe. They stayed at our house for a month and watched our three labs. When we arrived home our house was spotless and the dogs were so happy and obviously well taken care of.
Erica knitted them all bandanas and dog bone necklaces as well as baked them some homemade dog biscuits.
Anytime that we travel, if Joe and Erica are available, they would be our first choice for house sitters again!
Erica and Joe were great! Our dog Huck took to them immediately and we could tell it was mutual. They asked all the right questions before we departed and communicated with us throughout their stay. We came home to a happy dog and a very well taken care of house. We would absolutely recommend them and have them sit for us again if the opportunity were to arise!
We couldn't have asked for better housesitters. Not only did they do a great job with our dog Murphy they also kept the place very clean, neat and organized. We enjoyed meeting with them and spending some time together as well. They also have the best petsitting puns on HouseSittersAmerica!
As far as we are concerned we would give Erica and Joe 10 stars. Our biggest concern with being gone for 3 months was Elvis our 12 year old hound. After meeting Joe and Erica our concerns disappeared. They were so in tune with him even in the short time we had before we left. That care continued throughout the 3 months they were in our home with Elvis. They took wonderful care of our home as well. Communication with them was very easy considering the 8-10 hour time difference. We were so lucky ... MORE
Joe and Erica were amazing sitters. Our doggies fell in love with them immediately. We would definitely love to have them back!
Wow. Erica and Joe are amazing! I was skeptical of this site at first and leaving my sweet puppy in the care of “strangers”. Erica and Joe were kind enough to come meet us before we made a choice and I’m so glad they did. I have quite a penchant for plants and I was gone for 3 weeks so knew they would need care. I also have a garden with many flowers which was just waking up from winter. After meeting Erica and Joe I immediately felt at ease leaving my home, gardens and puppy with them. My dog ... MORE
We are grateful Erica and Joseph were available to house & pet sit for us while we were away for an entire month abroad.
They were professional and responsive in every way possible, from our initial contact to our return home. They were easy to work with and attentive to both dogs and sent us pet-pics every day so we knew the pups were being well-cared for in our absence.
On our return, we found the house to be clean and a treat to come home to. (Thank you Erica & Joseph!)

Erica and Joseph are stellar house and pet sitters! They took exceptional care of my high-energy Dobi mix, Zuri - taking her each day on an off-leash walk at nearby trails and giving her a lot of love and attention. They updated me regularly with photos that made clear Zuri was having a wonderful time and perfectly content despite my absence. I came home to a happy Zuri and a super clean house. I highly recommend Erica and Joseph!
My husband and I were so thrilled to have Joe and Erica stay with our fur babies. They took such good care of both our home and our pets. We even had them stay twice in the last few months. We would highly recommend them. The cats loved them and they sent us photos to keep in touch. We were fortunate to have connected with them. Linda
Erica and Joe were excellent housesitters and caregivers to my pups. They were very communicative and kind. My pups just loved them! I was able to enjoy my time away knowing that they were in very good hands. I definitely recommend them!
Thank you Joe and Erica for taking such wonderful care of my home and furry family. They enjoyed your company so much, it was evident they were all happy and bonded with you when I returned. You took such care to stay in touch, it was lovely to return to a clean and shiny home. So glad you enjoyed it here, even in the rainy times. I hope you are able to return, we would all love to see you here again. Erica, your yarn gifts were so special and unique. Thank-you. All our best to your next ... MORE
Joe and Erica took exceptionally good care of our lab and won her over completely. They also too great care of our house. We would have them back anytime they are willing to come!
Erica and Joe were most excellent House Sitters. My dog
