My spouse, John, and I are semi-retired teachers and editors. We belong to three other pet-sitting sites with over 20, five-star recommendations and eight years experience. We particularly love cats, dogs and birds and have sat many of all ages and temperments. We've also volunteered at two animal shelters. We're very good with older pets, shy cats and those requiring medications. We have primarily sat in Canada and the USA but we're moving to Europe in the fall of 2023. We've also received excellent recommendations as good, reliable and considerate house guests by pet​/​home owners and Airbnb hosts as we're neat, clean and quiet. We're also very good with plants and gardens and we have pool maintenance experience too.
