Sunshine Sitter

About this sitter

We’re Kelcie and Liam, a Canadian/American couple with a love for adventure and a strong commitment to caring for homes, pets, and gardens. Liam is a professional baseball player and an Arborist, while Kelcie is a director of a U.S. Botanical Garden. We enjoy travel writing, hiking, cooking, gardening, and reading. In a house sit, we’re looking for an opportunity to immerse ourselves in a new location, experience local culture, and provide attentive care for your home and pets.

Why they want to house sit

House-sitting allows us to travel while enjoying the comfort and stability of a home environment. It aligns perfectly with our interests as aspiring travel writers, offering us a unique way to explore new areas and connect with local communities. Additionally, house-sitting provides us the chance to care for animals and homes, which we find both fulfilling and enjoyable.

Their experience

Yes, we have extensive experience house-sitting and caring for a variety of properties. Over the past five years, we’ve managed homes in Canada, New Zealand, and Italy, including off-grid surf batches, luxury villas, and suburban family homes. We’re skilled in handling repairs, maintenance, and gardening, and have a solid background in managing different property types and systems.

What can they bring to the assignment

We bring a combination of hands-on experience, reliability, and a genuine love for animals and gardening. Our backgrounds in professional sports and botany provide us with a unique set of skills for property maintenance, including arborist work, water systems management, and more. We are dedicated to treating your home and pets with the utmost care, ensuring they are well-looked after while you’re away. Our commitment to cleanliness and adherence to health protocols offers additional peace of mind.
