We Will Take Great Care of Your Pets and Home.

Hello and thanks for considering us to care for your pets and home.

We are experienced pet and house sitters with clients around the world, and we would love to help you have a worry-free vacation. We are tidy, non-smoking animal lovers, having owned 10 dogs, 4 cats, a mouse and fish over the years. We have extensive experience with elderly pets, energetic puppies and kittens, chickens and fish, as well as pets requiring medications such as pills, eye drops and injections.

In addition, we have been homeowners for more than 20 years and understand the care required for such prized possessions.

A former executive in the financial services sector, Garrett served 2 years as President of the Board of Four Paws for Ability, a US based non-profit that provides service dogs to US veterans and disabled children around the world.

I spent 4 years as a volunteer diver at the Newport Aquarium, feeding and observing the fish and other aquatic critters for health issues, interacting with patrons, and cleaning the big tanks from the inside. This included weekly dives in a tank full of rays, eels and huge sharks. Yikes!

Garrett now works seasonally as a tour guide, meaning I often sit without him. I work part time for TrustedHousesitters.

We'd love to care for and play with your furry friends as part of our travels. We're happy to communicate as often as you'd like while you're away, and we're experienced at making customized pet meals.

We love animals, meeting new people, exploring new places and being of service. If you select us you will truly enjoy your time away, knowing your home and pets are well cared for, loved and protected. We'd love to watch over your home and lavish some love on your furry or feathered friends while you're away.

Please contact us today to learn how we can help you have wonderful, worry-free travels. We would love to video chat with you!
