Professional, dependable couple caring for your home and beloved pets
We are a long-married, professional couple specializing in dependable long-term house and pet sitting. Now retired, we have the flexibility to plan extended stays and be fully present providing steady, consistent care that allows your home and pets to maintain their normal routine without disruption. Over the past several years, we have earned multiple five-star reviews on TrustedHousesitters, reflecting our reliability, professionalism, and the trust homeowners place in us.
We treat every property with the highest level of respect and responsibility. Your home will remain clean, secure, organized, and well cared for at all times. We provide attentive daily household oversight, bring in mail and packages, water indoor and outdoor plants, and ensure everything runs smoothly while you are away. Our approach is proactive, detail-oriented, and consistently professional.
We genuinely love animals and understand they are family. We provide attentive, structured, and affectionate care tailored to each pet’s personality and needs whether that includes regular walks, playtime, medication administration, or simply calm companionship and reassurance.
We communicate clearly and consistently, providing updates and photos so you can travel with complete confidence. Our standard is simple: you return to a secure, well-maintained home and pets who are happy, settled, and exceptionally well cared for.
"Chris and Jill are a dream team and would welcome them back any time!
Their communication before and during the sit were excellent and my dogs were clearly well cared for and loved while we were away. All three dogs settled in with them immediately :) Our home was spotless upon our return and equally cared for.
Daily updates were sent as requested and showed how happy my trio were the entire time - thank you Chris and Jill!!
