Neil & Laurie - House and Pet Sitters

We will take loving care of your home and your pets

About Neil and Laurie

Before we began house sitting, as homeowners ourselves, we learned first hand the many tasks required in maintaining a home.

We have entrusted our home and pets in the care of others on several occasions and we know that leaving your home with strangers can be a bit daunting.

We are excellent at adapting to new environments and enjoy learning about new places. Having lived in three different homes that we owned, we are able to tackle most any homeowner challenge! We have had a large swimming pool, cared for a fish pond, raised chickens and a bunny and dealt with a well, septic system and extensive grounds keeping in our recent home. We have always tended a flower and vegetable garden and we love to grow organic produce.

In our house sitting assignments, Neil has replaced an ionizer in a fish pond, reset electronic appliances after a power outage, changed halogen bulbs, reprogrammed a garage door opener, and reconfigured a well-water pump, to name a few.

We love dogs, have owned three and have enjoyed becoming friends with the beloved pets at a number of our house sits . We have also cared for chickens, ducks, fish, and some smaller animals, including a rabbit and a rat.

We are enthusiastic, friendly, and excel at communication. Previous clients have shared with us their appreciation for the time that we spent with them on the phone or Skype so that they could get to know us better and feel comfortable, and secure about choosing us. We are very responsible, well organized and thorough. We will be certain that we know everything that you expect from us when we house sit for you and make sure that we carry out all your instructions to the letter.
