About this sitter
My husband and I are retired. My husband can pretty much do anything, gardening, odd jobs if needed. I am one of those neat and tidy almost fanatical types so would leave your house better than you left it. My 4th child is our bordie collie, Clover who doesnt like to be left alone, so we know whats its like to worry about your beloved animals, my son would be here to take of her while we are gone. We are pretty much open to anything, anywhere, almost anytime. Look forward to hearing from you and the endless possibilities.
Why they want to house sit
I did the travelling thing when I was young, went all around the world. I was just waiting for my kids to grow up and be independent enough so that I could travel once again. Finally went back to England after 21years of being absent from my home country. Now I am restless again, I have the travel bug back, dont want to stop. This is an exciting way that I can travel plus help others out by taking care of their homes. There are too many places to see and people to meet to stay at home.
Their experience
We have house-sat many times so can give references? We would definitely take care of your home, animals or whatever. We don't drink, smoke or party but we do like to have fun.

Testimonials
Very Sweet and Reliable
They were very sweet, friendly, and helpful. The animals and property were well cared for with the house cleaner upon our return than when we left. What really stands to me about this couple is that they had PLANNED on traveling from Florida to California and use our 1 week assignment as a welcome midpoint stop from their cross-country trek. BUT when the trip became unnecessary when the California trip was canceled, they kept their word and didn't leave us in a lurch. So, they drove all the way from Florida to South Central Texas and back again just to fulfill their commitment to us. This type of honorable conduct is hard to find today and very commendable.

Great experience!
We felt so fortunate to have connected with Sheila and Schon. They are very experienced house/pet sitters and a lovely, friendly couple. We appreciated their great communication before their arrival and while they were in our home. We knew our kitties were in great hands and loved the photo updates they sent. Our skittish little outdoor boy even warmed up to Sheila. We hope to have them back the next time we go away for an extended weekend.

They’re the best!
Sheila and Schon took great care of our home and our fur and feathered babies while we were away. I would not hesitate to request their services again!

Highly recommend !
Sheila and Schon sat for us in July 2020. They took great care of our dog and cat and sent daily texts and photos. Mojito and Luna were happy and calm when we came home so I know that they did not miss us! The house was in great order when we returned and they had even done some gardening. The day after we left, our refrigerator broke but Sheila and Schon took it in stride and were so amazing at communicating with us and dealing with this very annoying inconvenience. I would absolutely use them again.

Highly Recommend!
Sheila and Schon sat for us last October. They arrived the day before so we had a chance to get to know them and explain our pet needs and care of the house. Since both we and Sheila are English, we had a lot in common and very much enjoyed their company. Our weekly vacation was, unfortunately, cut short after a few days since I broke my ankle and we had to return home. Sheila and Schon were completely understanding, even though it meant them having to change their plans. The house was in great shape upon our return and the pets had, obviously, been well taken care of. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending them and hope they will sit for us again under different circumstances!

Great house and cat sitters
Sheila and her husband minded our apartment and took care of our kitty over the Thanksgiving holiday. Sheila is really good about communicating. I posted on kind of short notice, and they were accommodating and flexible. The apartment was in perfect condition when we returned and the cat seemed happy and well cared for. Sheila and Schon are fun, responsible people that I would ask to pet sit again. I definitely recommend them!
