POLICE OFFICER
They have referees/references (view below)
I served as a police officer with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police protecting Canadian communities for 20 years, having retired in September 2020; I am trustworthy, very reliable and conscientious.
I have completed dozens of house/pet sits in Italy, Switzerland, France, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Greece, Canada and the USA and I LOVE travel, meeting new people and finding lovable furry critters to care for. Nothing better than to gain the trust of a pet and create bonds with each of them.
I have been a homeowner for 20 years - having sold and bought many places as the result of job transfers. I understand pride of ownership and would treat your home and pets as my own. I am very tidy and I guarantee you will come home to a very clean house ! And more importantly, I appreciate the need to give your furry ones lots of cuddles (if they want it) or walks (however short or long) and make them feel cared for and secure while you are away!
I am fit, pro-active and responsible.
I am flexible with dates and locations of house-sit jobs.
I am reliable and dependable with my house/pet sit commitments.
I was a pet owner (black lab mix) for 15 years and understand the bond that exists between pets and owners.
I have been called the “cat whisperer “ by some !
I have a calm presence and animals trust me quickly.
I am non-smoking, quiet and very conscientious.

Testimonials
A Wonderful Couple.
Stephanie and her husband Simon (who was able to join her for a couple of weeks) came for a four week stay through January 2024 at our traditional Spanish finca with large garden. We took to them straightaway. They were amazing and our cats adored them. Stephanie kept us up to date with videos and messages throughout their stay. When we returned our cats were very happy and relaxed. The house was lovely clean and tidy and the plants were thriving. I can not speak highly enough about Stephanie and Simon, we would welcome them back to our home any time. We would highly recommend them. It was sad to see Stephanie leave.

Super House Sitters
Stephanie and her husband Simon came for a six week stay at our Greek island house. We found them to be charming, intelligent, and caring people who took very good care of our house and our cats. Stephanie and Simon kept in touch with us and gave us updates and photos of our kitties They seem to have enjoyed the local surroundings, and were very resourceful. We rate them as one of our best sitters ever.

Can't say enough great things about Steph!
Stephanie watched our Florida home and two kitties for 4 weeks. She did a great job caring for our kitties, watering plants and yard, and even facilitating a bathroom remodel that just happened to begin right before we left town. She arrived the night before we left and we enjoyed dinner together and getting to know her. While on our trip, she was a great communicator, sending pics and asking questions regularly. We enjoyed her regular texts and commentary about the kitties. She seemed to genuinely like our cats and spent quite a bit of time with them daily. We returned to a very tidy house, happy cats and thriving plants. All of this is expected from a quality housesitter but Steph went way beyond that! You see, one week into our overseas vacation we learned that a major hurricane was headed directly toward our Tampa Bay area. We encouraged Steph to evacuate early on, but she chose to stay as long as possible and to prepare our house for the storm. She moved in yard furniture, bird feeders, etc as well as supervising plywood being placed over several vulnerable windows. We were very lucky that the storm turned at the last minute and spared our part of Florida ( God bless the people in South Florida!) Steph took it all in stride. My husband and I were so impressed with Steph and her resourcefulness and thoughtfulness. We would highly recommend her to anyone and certainly hope we see her again.

Great house / dog sitter!
Stephanie (and her partner Simon who was able to join part of the time) stayed at our home while we were in Mexico. Stephanie was a great communicator and a great sitter. We felt like our dog Carson was very well taken care of, and she kept in communication with us while we were abroad. She left the house very tidy and even had some soup ready for us when we came home in case we had not eaten. She is welcome any time in our home. We would highly recommend her as a sitter.

Wonderful people, ideal house sitters !
Simon and Stephanie house sat for us in the French Cévennes mountains in the dead of winter, relaying from another housesitting couple. They immediately understood the needs of our two cats, the running of the house and garden, the relationships with the neighbours and kept regular contact with us. They dealt efficiently with a sudden temperature drop to prevent damage to our plumbing and heating system, and were completely reliable in every way. The cats were well fed, happy, loved, comfortable and safe. When I returned the house was spotless, my bed was made, the house and fridge restocked with all the basic necessities, and meals ready for the next few days. They drove to fetch me from Montpellier airport and wouldn’t accept any refund for expenses. They were easy to please, interested in everything, loved the area, pleased the neighbours, made friends, were curious about our culture and appreciated our little local treasures. It would be hard to find better house sitters than Simon and Stephanie. We do hope to see them back to visit us as friends.
