My husband and I are experienced part time house sitters having completed 15 amazing sits so far! We enjoy travel to Europe and the UK, and usually try to find pet sits for at least part of our trips. During “normal times”, we will spend about 4 weeks in Europe/UK in Spring and again in Fall. We also like to try to find a sit someplace warm and sunny for a few weeks in January or February.

The rest of the year, we spend at home in beautiful Kelowna, BC, Canada where we raise, socialize, and train puppies as future service dogs for the Pacific Assistance Dogs Society.

We are healthy, active, retired teachers who miss having pets around when we travel and have found that THS is a perfect way to combine our love of travel with our love of animals. While we usually look after dogs and cats, we are experienced in caring for chickens, ducks, rabbits, and sheep as well.

Erik and I prefer sits in quiet villages and we enjoy relaxing at our “home away from home” rather than spending time doing “touristy” things when we travel.

We can’t wait for the pandemic to be under control and we have the chance to get on a plane and head off on another adventure!
