“What makes housesitters extraordinary?
It is the little things that mean the most to us. We look for people who will not only tend to our pets lovingly, but will also enjoy our home and the unique culture in which we live. Doug and Johanne spread their love throughout our neighborhood and for that we are so grateful”.

“Everyone here seemed to have loved them, not just Chancey! Juli told me how clean they were. Others told me how well they fit into the community, and some remarked on how happy Chancey was the whole time …relaxed, calm, and tail wagging … just plain happy, well looked after and secure”.

From our first contact until the end of the housesit, they were organised, efficient and professional. They took great care of my three dogs while I was away. One of the dogs needs to be given medication twice a day and this was done without a problem.

Doug & Johanne accepted the challenge of house sitting at our “off the grid home” ..requiring special skills.
They fully embraced the challenge and their commitment and professionalism were apparent.
They made many friends and are truly missed here. We remain hopeful that they will return.

They took really good care of our home and dogs. In fact our dogs loved them so much, they were really sad when they left. They are a wonderful, intelligent and adventurous couple looking for happiness and to share it with others.

We can’t express enough what wonderful people came to our home, taking the best of care for cats and home. In addition we did get continuous reports, updates and pictures of happy cats. What a delightful, trust worthy and competent couple.”

“I was completely spell bound with Doug and Johanne such a lovely caring couple. When you meet you feel as if you have known them for years. Obviously animal lovers I knew that my two precious dogs were in the best hands and I didn’t have to stress about leaving them.

I have been using pet sitters for about 6 years now and have had some
excellent ones but Doug and Johanne by far are the best! You are lucky if you can find a free minute in their schedule to come to your house.
