About this sitter

We love to travel and meet new people in all parts of the world! As AirBnB hosts, we open our own home to travelers and enjoy interacting with them, while taking care to keep the home clean and attractive for their benefit.
If you have a home and animals that need looking after, we would love the opportunity to house sit for you.

Why they want to house sit

We love traveling, but the cost of lodging is so expensive that we would be grateful to anyone who allowed us the opportunity to enjoy your part of the world, while taking care of your home and property. I am an interior architect and designer, and enjoy seeing what others have done with their own homes, and understand that property must be respected. I'll offer free advice, but only if asked. :)

Their experience

We had the opportunity to housesit in the London suburbs this year and thoroughly enjoyed the routine of walking and feeding our host's dogs and meeting/interacting with neighbors.
Our own home is in Northern Virginia and we enjoy taking care of it and meeting guests who stay with us through AirBnB.
We have a funny little Corgi mix (Philly) and beautiful ginger Tabby Cat (Leo) who keep us company and are a joy to own.
We very much enjoy the company of animals and would be happy to watch yours and give them tender loving care. :)

What can they bring to the assignment

I like to think we're a very responsible couple and try to always be honest with others. We respect other people's property, and appreciate it when other people respect ours. As AirBnB hosts/hostesses who have opened our own house to AirBnB guests, it really matters when guests treat our home like their own.
You can see the reviews guests have given us if you go to the www.airbnb.com website and input Oakton, Virginia in the search bar as a destination.

We love to keep busy, enjoy getting out of doors, sightseeing and learning about/experiencing other cultures, and especially love taking walks with dogs! :)

Testimonials

Wonderful House Sitters

We were lucky enough to find Barbara and Brian for a three week trip this summer, leaving them with our two dogs. The dogs have very different characters and were both very well looked-after and very happy while we were away. Barbara and Brian got to know some of our neighbours during their stay and really engaged with the local community. They also maintained the garden and the house brilliantly - even mending a lamp which I'd broken myself the day before our departure! On our return, they had prepared a delicious meal for us and we had a great evening together. They are active, kind and interesting travellers and we will welcome them back any time our respective schedules allow.
