GLOBAL HOUSE AND PET SITTERS Experienced, Top Notch Reviews, non-smokers

About this sitter

We are Tamra & David. First and foremost, we are animal-loving pet sitters in our 50/60's who have enjoyed traveling the world our entire marriage and love discovering new and diverse cultures and people.
After many years in advertising, we decided to retire early, travel more, and find interesting and unique ways of living since 2009.
Married in 1990, we are still very close and enjoy long walks, we both are very active & healthy. We can travel anywhere and don't have to worry about work or online business. We focus our time on your home and pets. We are financially self-sufficient. Your pets will never suffer from an online business. We are there for your pets. We have the BEST CONTACTABLE references too!!
We are drug-free, non-smokers, and rarely drink. We both have great driving records and can drive manual or automatic transmissions with international driver & motorcycle licenses and are both comfortable driving in any country. We both speak Spanish and English.


We strive to be as flexible as possible leaving at least 3 days to one week free on either side of an assignment, then if for any reason plans change for your return date you only have one set of problems to deal with. Should you be unfortunate to have unforeseen flight delays or cancellations on your travels rest assured there will be none on your return home.

Why they want to house sit

We enjoyed having house sitters in our own homes over the years. We loved the security it gives you while on your trip and the peace of mind you get while away. Just knowing our home and dogs were safe and sound being well cared for and not lonely was the best feeling.
We would love to offer this same service to you. Providing care for your home and your pets is at the forefront of our minds. They will be pampered as we take on your assignment. While we enjoy the travel and the new diverse lifestyle.
A lot of times we do book out months in advance. If your dates are set every year and you like the security of knowing your sitter is confirmed. We are always open to advanced bookings. However, We also are flexible. we leave gaps open for the shorter sits. We are up for anything.

Their experience

We have been living abroad full time since 2009 with House-Sitting experience, We have over sixty-five 5-star, 5-diamond, or similar on other house-sitting platforms. All on our website resume. We have great "Contactable" references and return clients too! Over 75 and still counting.
We have a web page to send you with ALL references and to see our police background checks too.


We have experience in Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Fiji, Australia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Morocco, Botswana, Thailand, Laos, Hawaii, Singapore, Tahiti, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and India, and the list goes on... We can travel anywhere. We have cared for all types of homes from small jungle cabins, high rises, to luxury vacation homes, B-n-B's, and condos to homes for sale and under construction.

We have diverse experience with animals from 'dogs and cats to cattle.' We have had experience with breeding, whelping, weening & training dogs, rescue animals, watchdogs, and aging dogs and cats, vet visits, and dispensing meds. We will stay in contact with you during all stages of your house sit. We completely understand the "missing your pets Skype calls" and keep you connected. Also, we keep you connected **with your permission, by periodically posting of photos during our house-sit on our web page so that you can "check in" to see, whenever and wherever you are at any time.

We have owned homes, been landlords, renters, and house sitters, We treat your home like we would want our home to be treated. In addition, we have posted pictures of our homes on our web feed, to show how we live and the standard of cleanliness we bring with us. We are very discreet and quiet and have an understanding of respect for other people's property, homes, and neighbors. We both have full background checks and the Department of Justice reports from the United States.

Special Assignments:
Living Off the Grid or in the Bush:
Limited water supply, no hot water, no Internet, limited or no cell service and electricity power cuts, these are just a few of the situations we have experience with and have learned how to be very flexible. In some countries just buying groceries and getting directions can be a frustration for most folks.

We have lived in jungle homes without these and other "amenities." We have learned how to live with dangerous insects, snakes, and other carnivorous animals. We give you peace of mind knowing we are experienced in caring for pets and homes in these environments. The saddest thing we hear from homeowners is when they say that their sitter quit on them when they had "had it."

Living in the Jungles of Costa Rica and day to day living in Nicaragua for seven years has prepared us for most situations. We have a working knowledge of propane gas tanks, backup generators, pumps, maintaining septic systems, well systems, R.O. systems, ?solar water heater systems, ?water tanks, maintaining sprinkler systems, we are familiar with 3-phase electrical systems, fireplaces, and wood-burning stoves.

Boats:
Being previous boat owners ourselves, we offer boat-site assignments for clients with boats docked or moored in harbors. We also sit and help with paperwork for boats that need to be registered in a foreign country or, if you're in need someone to boat sit for security reasons. We can handle this for you. Also, if your property is accessed by boat, we have experience with smaller watercraft too; Outboards,
Jet boats, and Inboard/outboard motors.
