Pet-Loving, Dependable, Honest, Direction-Following & Flexible

About this sitter

We are a lively, active retired couple who love adventure and pets. We have been enthusiastic long-term dog owners and love our grandcats and dogs and have pet-sat them frequently and for week-long stretches. We Sue and Bob live in Norfolk VA and spend spring and fall months in Ontario, Canada.

We are looking for a clean house or apartment to.mind and would be respectful of your home and possessions and reliable, affectionate companion/caretakers for your home, pets, and/or your garden.

Bob is a Master Gardener who loves getting his hands in the soil! We are willing to travel to your home in the north and south east U.S. or abroad and prefer city-living, but are open to other opportunities.

Why they want to house sit

We enjoy meeting new people and exploring new places. We value a variety of experiences. We like to say "Life begins when the kids move out and the dog dies [ours, not yours, and we mourned Sassie's passi m g after 17 years as a member of our family.]! Our honesty, reliability, flexibility, and willingness to follow your instructions make hiusesitting a pleasure for us and will, we believe, offer you peace of mind!
