Hi There! My name is Rose and my partner of over 25 years, Sébastien, usually joins me on sits. Rose is from in Virginia, Sébastien from France. * As non-smokers we would only be a fit to non-smoking homes * We are both fluent in French, Sebastien as a native speaker. Rose also speaks Spanish (mother is from Peru). Both of us work 100% remote; Rose in Global HR for a Biotech company and Sebastien in corporate Finance. Since 2023, we have enjoyed traveling about 50% of the time and completed over 40 international sits on another platform, with consistent 5-star (out of 5) reviews. Over the years we have lived in France, Virginia, New Jersey and Florida before we moved to Denver, Colorado in 2019. In each location, we have been homeowners so we are quite resourceful and familiar with a variety of climates, plants, appliances and the practical aspects of homeownership. We love animals of all kinds and have volunteered in dog, horse and donkey rescue associations and wildlife sanctuaries. Our sits so far have included dogs, cats, horses and other farm animals and even snakes.

Rose and her husband Sebastian came to care for 16-year-ola Simba, a cat who is very shy with strangers. They won her over. She rewarded them with purrs and lap time. Unfortunately I fell, broke my wrist on the trip, and had to return early. Sebastian had already departed to go back to work in the US. Roses planned sit of a month ended after 2 weeks. I felt badly, but she was very understanding and sympathetic. The apartment was in excellent shape. They even left me with a fan. The heat was oppressive during their visit. I have air conditioning, but they opted for the fan to cut down on electricity costs. Very thoughtful and considerate. I highly recommend Rose and Sebastian.

(Farm sit with 3 dogs, 1 cat, 2 horses, 4 goats, chickens, parrot, 2 bunnies, snake) Rose, and her partner sebastien, were an amazing pair that connected with our animals right away. They were communicative and caring, and put our mind at ease immediately. I was only disappointed we didn't get to spend more time hanging out with them as we truly enjoyed hearing about their travels and experiences, and would welcome them back in a heartbeat!

Rose and Sébastien are incredible! From the time we began texting about the stay, Rose's communication was superb. Because they live in the area, they could come by beforehand, and we got to hang out with them and see what cool, chill, interesting, responsible, and professional people they are. The stay itself was wonderful. They asked us how often we wanted updates (one small indication of their first-rate communication) and sent us photos that showed our cats comfortable and happy from the beginning--they clearly have the gift with animals! As a plus, the photos looked like something from a professional animal photographer--some hilarious up-close shots that again showed our two cats, one of whom can be pretty shy, taking to them immediately. Rose and Sebastien also left our house immaculate--it looked better than how we left it. Would 100% ask them to sit again and *highly* recommend them to others.
Kim in Colorado, US (2 dogs)
Rose & Sebastien were wonderful sitters!! They were extremely communicative, attentive to detail, easy going, and most of all very loving with our precious dogs. They went above and beyond even bringing in a ladder to replace a battery in one of our outdoor cameras. Our house was sparkling clean and our pups were happy and chill when we came home. We really loved having Rose & Sebastien with us while we had to deal with some stressful medical issues that changed our plans/schedule. They were very understanding, supportive and accommodating to us. They are really what Trusted Housesitters is all about and we would love to host them again!!!
Debbie in Colorado, US (2 dogs, 1 cat)
Rose and Sebastian are kind and responsible. They had good chemistry with the dogs and the respect of the cat. I returned to a tidy dome, shoveling driveway, and contented dogs. They had even brushed them, a time consuming endeavor! l'a have them come back and heartily recommend them!
Cindy in Colorado, US (2 cats, 1 dog)
Rose and Sebastien were simply amazing sitters for our menagerie of animals. Our two cats and a very active Aussie were disappointed when they saw us coming through the door! They were so attentive to everyone's needs and provide all the love and long walks needed in this active household. Their communication and flexibility was amazing especially when we had to change our return date unexpectedly. We've already signed them up for a future sit!
Erin in Florida, US (1 dog)
Rose and Sebastian's care for our dog Snickers deserves more than 5 stars. Rose and Sebastian provided the best of care for Snickers, but our house as well. They provided us with daily updates and photos of Snickers from his daily walks, to play dates at the dog park and a picnic on the beach. Snickers looked content and happy. While we were away, snickers developed an ear infection. Snickers was unable to see his regular vet, so they took him to the emergency vet to be seen. They kept in contact with us during the entire process. Jon and I, along with Snickers would welcome them back for another stay.
Julie in Florida, US (2 dogs, 1 cat)
Rose & Sebastien were amazing sitters! They arrived the night before so we could meet and they could meet our pets. Not only did we receive periodic updates and pictures on our happy pets (2 dogs & 1 cat) but we also came home to a clean house! They even did their sheets & towels: and remade their bed! They are welcome into our home anytime! Highly recommend.
Jaqueline in Florida, US (1 dog)
Wow! Sebastian and Rose were amazing. They took incredible care of Dash and our home. Great communication too, with photos of Dash enjoying. When our garage freezer outlet went out, we told them to just throw out the contents and we'd clean it when we got back, but they cleaned it as well! And our home was as tidy and as clean as when our housecleaner cleans. They left us some lovely crepes the day we returned; they were delicious! They left Dash some treats as well; he was happy to see us, calm and clearly enjoyed their company. Thank you both for your excellent care of our home and boy, Rose and Sebastian!
Brad in California, US (1 dog)
Rose and Sebastien were dream sitters of both our beloved Golden Retriever and home. They were easy and warm to initially meet with by video... arrived as planned... and throughout their stay they took care of any needs... communicated as needed... and left our home so well prepared for us to return to. Our dog was so well walked and loved....we weren't sure he would miss us. Highly recommend them.
