Hello! ¡Hola! Bonjour!

Now Booking for 2024 & 2025
Available after May 17, 2024
Are you looking for a trusted house sitter to look after your home and pets while you’re away? You’ve found the right person.
I’m a writer by trade, and I travel extensively. I started as a house sitter more than a decade ago by taking care of the homes and pets of friends and family. It has now become a lifestyle that allows me to travel the planet while working online.
Running a writing/consulting business on the road means I have to be very responsible and dependable — which applies equally to house/pet sitting. I’m active and walk and cycle as much as I can.
I’m currently booked in various locations in British Columbia until May 17, 2024.
Available after May 17, 2024.
What I can offer you as a house sitter:
– Care for your home and love for your pets
– Regular house and yard maintenance
– The ability to take care of minor problems
– Direct contact with as many references as you’d like
– Quiet, non-smoker who works from home
– Regular reports
– Canadian citizen, spotless record, clean driving record
As for me, my needs are basic. Dependable internet access and the ability to walk/cycle for groceries if a car is unavailable. My preference is for longer house sits, but I will consider short ones if I’m available/in the area.
Many of my house sits are with regular clients, and they can attest to my skills and trustworthiness. You want a house sitter with great references.
I am always available by email, phone, or Skype should you want to discuss a potential house sit. Contact me for additional references, and I will put you in direct contact with homeowners I’ve worked with.
If you’re looking for someone who is experienced, respectful, trustworthy, and an animal lover, you’ve found him!
